I'm not sure how common my use case is (running mpd locally under
my own user account) but since we are supporting the pulse output
mode in the service configuration, I think we need to make sure that
it works. Currently when the mpd service is started under my account
with the pulse output, it fails to connect to pulse because of the
missing environment variable, and defaults to alsa. This is unfortunate
because the whole point of using pulse for me is to make sure
different apps "play nicely" with each other when playing audio.
Thankfully this is a relatively simple fix.

I also installed the sonata client to make sure that other clients
weren't acting funny, and everything seems normal!
