[Pkg-mpd-maintainers] Bug#784883: mpd: playlist sometimes got emptied after system rebooting

[Adam Lee]

Package: mpd
Version: 0.19.9-1
Severity: important

Hi, maintainers

As $Subject, playlist sometimes got emptied after system rebooting, I
have to re-run `mpc ls|mpc add` and `mpc random` after it happened, the
fail rate is about 80%.

Some information:
1, I disabled mpd.service and mpd.socket, run mpd in .xinitrc as a
normal user instead.
2, I use pulseaudio.
3, state_file "~/.config/mpd/state"
4, When it happens, state file size is zero.
5, the state file got updated very slowly everytime after it was rebuilt
or changed(might by design).
6, I doubt the root cause is mpd was killed by systemd too fast to save
its state properly.
7, 0.19.1-1.1 in sid and 0.19.9-1 in experimental both have this issue,
also some previous versions.

Thanks!
