CMUS Error: opening audio device: No such device
I cant seem to play any audio with CMUS because it always gives the above error
the output of
lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"
gives
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High
Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Device c892
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 49

00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family PCI Express
Port 1 (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])
what could be the problem?

cmus appears to default to the pulseaudio output plugin.
However the pulseaudio sound system is not necessarily installed on a headless server.
Try :set output_plugin=alsa or :set output_plugin=ao to switch to a supported backend.

I know that this is incredibly old but I've run into the same issue and no where has an answer of any kind. To fix this problem I installed
sudo apt-get install libao-ocaml-dev
and that seems to have fixed my problem.
My symptoms were that I could play music if I was root but would the error described by OP if I wasn't. I needed to compile cmus from source because the version of cmus that I get from apt was unable to play some of my music because of an ffmpeg/avconv issue.
I didn't need to do anything special aside from install that library.

My symptoms were that I could play music if I was root but would the error described by OP if I wasn't. I needed to compile cmus from source because the version of cmus that I get from apt was unable to play some of my music because of an ffmpeg/avconv issue.
