New wheezy and problems setting up alsa for mpd



This is a new computer, bought yesterday, and a new install of wheezy with the beta4-d-i. The sound card is a 'High Definition Audio, 5.1 channel' aka '00:01.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI BeaverCreek HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 6500D and 6400G-6600G series]


The relevant section of my mpd.conf for alsa is ;-
audio_output {
        type            "alsa"
        name            "MPD ALSA"
        mixer_type      "software"
        mixer_device    "default"
        mixer_control   "PCM"
}

and this gives the following output when mpd is restarted and run ;-
Jan 08 13:46 : player_thread: problems opening audio device while playing "Ave Maria - Sacred Arias and Choruses/02 Various - Stölzel (attr. Bach) - Bist du bei mir.mp3"
ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused

Jan 08 13:46 : output: Failed to open "MPD ALSA" [alsa]: Failed to open ALSA device "default": Connection refused
Jan 08 13:46 : player_thread: problems opening audio device while playing "http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_lc1_radio4extra_p?s=1357642801&e=1357657201&h=88c04b2945d4c29c3f3cb0b2e095ea50"

I am using 'ncmpcpp' as my client which has worked well in the past, but this time alsa isn't cooperating and it plain doesn't work!

Can anyone help me in getting my mpd/ncmpcpp to work with alsa please?

Thank you
Sharon.
