Bug#768982: libaudio-mpd-perl: cannot connect to mpd via a Unix socket

[Simon McVittie]

Package: libaudio-mpd-perl
Version: 2.000-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream patch
Forwarded: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=99762

Since mpd 0.14 (2008) it has been possible for mpd to listen on an
AF_UNIX socket. Access is controlled by Unix filesystem permissions,
making a password unnecessary.

The convention seems to be to set MPD_HOST to the absolute path to the
socket, e.g. "/home/me/.cache/mpd.socket", ignoring MPD_PORT; and to
recognise these connections via the leading "/".

The attached patch adds support for this, and seems to be enough to
enable mpd-dynamic to work in this configuration. I already
submitted it upstream.

Regards,
    S
