gnu: mpd-service-type: Add to the `audio' group.

d780c4c1 · Ian Eure <[email protected]> · 2025-11-08 15:22:20 -08:00

Also, add `audio' to %mpd-user’s supplementary groups.  Without membership in
the `audio' group, MPD can’t access the sound hardware.

Fixes guix/guix#4136.

* gnu/services/audio.scm (%mpd-user): Add `audio' supplementary group.
