Package: mpd
Version: 0.11.5-3
Severity: wishlist

mpd should have a read-only mode for clients. Currently, if a user
wants to be able to play files of the playlist, he needs the "control"
permission, i.e.

password "password@read,control"

in the /etc/mpd.conf file. But the "control" permission also allows
him to clear the playlist and save it.

I'm marking the bug for archiving.
