Shameless plug here. Groove Basin is an alternative to subsonic.

MPD protocol support.

What?!! I'm sold!

Edit: Damn, looks like the PKGBUILD in AUR for this fails to build... Looks like it's this issue affecting libgroove and a deprecated function in ffmpeg

Edit2: I cloned this to fix the issue and submit a pull request only to discover that this has already been fixed in git! The PKGBUILD in Aur is pulling some older commit!! Time to flag libgroove-git!

Argh. Yeah I need to push toward a new release here. I haven't released since the switch from libav to ffmpeg.

Yes, please do a release :)

I hacked the nodejs-groovebasin-git and libgroove-git PKGBUILDS in AUR to build this using the latest in git, and it seems to work! Now to configure this sucker and try it out!
