[Pkg-mpd-maintainers] Bug#845091: mpd starts pulseaudio even when configured not to use it

[Juha Jäykkä]

Package: mpd
Version: 0.19.12-1~bpo8+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When mpd runs, it also runs pulseaudio. This is not just unnecessary, but also causes weird
unwanted side-effects like muting of Master volume channel in alsa (which mpd is also not
configured to use).

Cheers,
Juha
