pppoed can be told to run mpd.  As long as mpd can handle treating 
descriptor 0 as it's link, it'll work.

When a second link is established from a client, it'll invoke a new 
mpd instance.  Is mpd smart enough to detect this and pass the link 
from one invocation to the other ?

This was one of the trickiest parts of making ppp(8) a multilink 
server.
