CD Player

[Nutul]

Even eject -x 24 does not produce the desired result.

The problem looks like this one https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/149

Sound is blocked until some other task is completed, then continues.

I have no idea how to find out which task is the culprit, or how to fix it.

The task surely is busy reading from the CD.

It seems like the problem can be solved within MPD the configuration, as in this thread (continuation from the one mentioned by you):

https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/1529

Basically, this must go in mpd.cong

Code:

input {
    plugin "cdio_paranoia"
    speed "8"
    mode "disable"
    skip "yes"
}

You can give it a try, as if your issue is constantly reproducible, this fix will show either immediate results or not at all.
