Suggestions for a superior mpd:
1) Dump the telnet port. Make it so that 'mpd -b' can run at system
startup and later the command line interface be accessed using 'mpd'
with no command-line options via IPC/named pipes/Unix sockets, by the
group to which the executable belongs.
2) Allow command-line options which would, again via some sort of IPC,
be supplied and interpreted by the currently running mpd daemon, and not
simply scream "already running...".
3) The 'quit' command is inappropriate for mpd termination. One can
easily mistake it for the 'exit' command. Change it to something more
complicated, and request confirmation if bundle(s) currently active.
4) Make it work with getty programs, e.g. mgetty.
5) Reduce the default verbosity/amount of syslog messages, or allow user
configuration of this (at run-time).
