Comment(by diane@…):

 Hi, I tried using the mpd.diff patch on OS X 10.6.3 and ran into a couple
 of problems. the minor issue was the patch by default ended up creating a
 user with a uid > 500 which I think is supposed to be for real users
 instead of daemons. (In trying to diagnose the following problem I deleted
 the default user and created a new one with a user and group ID < 500
 using dscl.

 The more important problem is that I kept getting error
 Bug: launchd_core_logic.c:1685 (24003):22

 with the patched mpd.wrapper script when using su _mpd -c "[mpd command
 line]", then I changed the script to sudo -u _mpd [mpd command line]
 which worked.
