Public bug reported:
The only config the end user should need to mess with is the
audio_output section, this process is enough of a PITA without the
frustration of dealing with parts that should just work
There are 2 issues:
1. When mpd is installed it is configured to use /var/lib/mpd/tag_cache
however this file is not created by the installer. the installer should
have done this
touch /var/lib/mpd/tag_cache
chown mpd:audio /var/lib/mpd/tag_cache
2. The default config file is set to use /run/mpd/pid to store the
running instance's id, however mpd lacks permission necessary to create
the /run/mpd directory
Even if the user runs sudo mkdir /run/mpd && chown mpd:audio /run/mpd as
soon as the mpd service is closed this directory is deleted
