NB mpd (local) user setup

Before reading, please check original link https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Music_Player_Daemon. There is no specific settings, to be honest 😉

If you want to use “bit-perfect” (huh) output, please always check correct output device, never use pulseauidio (I don’t know where this crap is in use) – sometimes problem occurred, for example, in deadbeef (which awesome too, but for personal preferences i don’t use it right now).
