Bug#861424: cmus: will not start up on fresh install

[Michael P. Soulier]

Package: cmus
Version: 2.5.0-7+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On a fresh install of cmus, it will not start. I get no display in my terminal
of the ncurses UI. I had to do
this to get it to come up.

echo 'set output_plugin=pulse' > .cmus/autosave

Afterwards, while I can now add songs via the :add command, the UI is
unresponsive, although cmus-remote is able
to make the program play.

I am on Debian Jessie in the i3 window manager, with pulseaudio for sound.
