For a long long time I've used mpd for audio and xbmc for video. After I upgraded to the nightlies I noticed that mpd could no longer play audio when xbmc was on. (Device busy)
Is there some workaround to make this configuration work again that does not involve using another sound server?
XBMC takes full control of alsa even if nothing's playing

Not sure if XBMC has changed behavior but it sounds as if you have a diital output device. Alsa does by default not put a mixer device in front of digital outputs so only one app can use them at a time. Eg: configure a dmix for your digital audio output in .asoundrc and then multiple apps can access it at the same time.

This post was before Frodo v12 was released and this particular problem is resolved with v13 alpha1
See https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/2218 This PR should complete the fixes needed idk as I dont experience this problem since my XBMC is dedicated to just xbmc so it requires a nightly ppa of compile from source. Edit wsnipex beat me to it uNi log file ★ Audio Setup ★ Compile GIT XBMC ★ Minimal install + XBMC Script ★ ION 330 HT internal IR+Remote 12.04LTS ★ 24p/23.976p playback - NV 30x.x Drivers
Thank me ⬇ click on +
