As =E5=AE=8B=E6=96=87=E6=AD=A6 and Julien said, this should be fixed in our= service but it might be tricky to do without being able to listen to music ;) In the meantime, If it suits your needs, you can run MPD with your unprivileged user instead of at the system level. Below is a file I use to start MPD as my own user on GuixSD, and it seems to do the right thing regarding PulseAudio, although I use pulsemixer instead of pavucontrol. I originally copied the file from Dave Thompson... any mistakes are my own :) By the way, the file should be named '~/.config/shepherd/init.scm'. ------ ;; To use this automatically, add something like the following line to ;; whatever gets sourced for a login shell: ;; ;; [[ -z $(pgrep -U $(id --user) shepherd) ]] && shepherd & > /dev/null ;; ;; Or, just invoke `shepherd`.
