Details

xfce4-mpc-plugin is currently using the small, included version on the mpc interface. There's some horrible bug in there (not surprisingly, in a section of code with a comment that says "/*HACK @#!*/") that causes it to segfault on first mouse-over every time I start it. (I can attach a backtrace if it's useful, but I don't expect anyone here really wants to debug the upstream code...)

It does work if linked against the real libmpd instead of the internal mini-API. Since libmpd is a very small dependency, this seems like a reasonable fix.

I'm attaching a patch for the PKGBUILD.
This task depends upon
