Hi Marc, it will be part of libmpdclient, but not very soon. libmpdclient needs a major redesign, I want to make it asynchronous. Unfortunately, at this time, I cannot tell you much about that, because I'm currently too busy with the MPD 0.14 preparations. > As far as I understand, when you are in 'idle' mode, you are > blocking until an event occurs (song change, volume change > etc...). It doesn't look really usable in a graphical client. Why not? The client can let the connection block until something happens, or it can abort idle as soon as he wishes to use the connection for something else. That is simple, but powerful. > Anyway if you need help to implement this feature, I could work on > it. I could really need a helping hand on libmpdclient. Are you familiar with asynchronous I/O?
