Comment:

 As one example of completely unacceptable behavior:[[br]]
 To use CoreAudio on a machine with HDMI audio output you must disable it
 prior to connecting the HDMI cable, enable it once the cable is connected,
 and disable it after.[[br]]
 Failing to do these steps in order causes mpd to crash so ungracefully
 that you have to [[[ kill -9 ]]] its process after unloading it via [[[
 port unload ]]] then reload it via [[[ port load ]]].[[br]][[br]]
 I do not feel it is appropriate to include a buggy, unmaintained audio
 backend when I have found an acceptable alternative that should work
 across all supported platforms.
