Some media players already let you control the volume while the screen is locked like what you describe.

I wanted to use my second N900 as a mpd streaming client in the kitchen.

Well, I faced the same issues as described before, looks like the native pulseaudio network protocol on maemo 5 and f.e. Fedora 16 is not compatible. Luckily there's another network sound protocol: esd.

Here's how it works:

On the n900:
Code:
- Install the pulseaudio-module-extra package.
- Edit /etc/pulse/system.pa and add these lines:

.ifexists module-esound-protocol-tcp.so
    load-module module-esound-protocol-tcp port=6000 auth-cookie-enabled=0 auth-anonymous=1 sink=1
.endif

- Restart pulseaudio/phone
On the mpd side, use this in the mpd.conf file:
Code:
audio_output {
    type "ao"
    driver "esd"
    options "host=devel-n900:6000"
    name "esd"
}
More help on mpd and pulseaudio can be found here: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/PulseAudio

Ok, here's an explanation of the protocol format incompatibility:

Proposed fix for the N900 -> remote server audio direction:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...ne/010256.html

Let's see if we can "downgrade" the protocol version on the N900 in the /usr/lib/pulse-0.9.15/modules/module-native-protocol-tcp.so binary without recompilation

Ok, this dirty hack does the trick on the PA "client" side:

Code:
diff -u -r -p pulseaudio-0.9.22/configure.ac pulseaudio.faked/configure.ac
--- pulseaudio-0.9.22/configure.ac      2012-01-11 22:18:40.450280472 +0100
+++ pulseaudio.faked/configure.ac       2012-01-11 22:22:37.563083482 +0100
@@ -41,7 +41,7 @@ AC_SUBST(PA_MAJORMINORMICRO, pa_major.pa

 AC_SUBST(PA_API_VERSION, 12)

+AC_SUBST(PA_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 15)
 
 # The stable ABI for client applications, for the version info x:y:z

Just recompile pulseaudio and it will be able to use the N900 as speaker

That might also help to get a true pulseaudio 0.9.21 working in a dist-upgraded Easy Debian. I once tried something similar but must have changed the protocol version in the wrong place.

How does one recompile pulseaudio?
