[Pkg-mpd-maintainers] Bug#612081: mpd: lastest version (0.16) no longer able to read flac files with embedded cue sheet

[pancho horrillo]

Hi again.

Back then I asked about this in the musicpd-dev-team mailing list, and got this
reply, which I should've posted here but didn't.

Hi Pancho,

in MPD 0.16, CUE files are not shown as "virtual directories", but as
"playlists", as they refer to music in other files.  The "load"
command may be used to append its contents to the play queue.

With embedded CUE sheets, we have a different problem; the client
cannot know that a FLAC file contains a playlist, because MPD does not
tell it so, and so it cannot offer an option to load the CUE sheet for
the user.  That is a server-side deficiency in MPD, and I will try to
find a solution for 0.16.2.

Max
