Hi there,

i tried to install mpd on my OpenBSD 7.9 Server which failed after it tried to 
install like houndrets of dependencies including Xorg (Which i don't have and 
don't want on the server). That got me a bit by surprise as musicpd is a 
background daemon that plays music, i am unsure which package exactly pulls in 
all of Xorg but, but pretty sure that is highly optional.

My use case is to stream music via httpd 
(https://mpd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins.html#httpd), all it needs to do 
is to decode/encode the music and stream it via HTTP, that should be possible 
without an X-Server.

I think it would be benefitial to have a -minimal or -nox package that can be 
installed on servers as mpd is, in the end, a headless background daemon.



Best Regards

Marcel
