Public bug reported:
mpd ignores the "port" and port section in "listen_to_address" in
configuration file by default, listens always to port 6600 and fails to
tell user about the situation. If I have 'bind_to_address
"192.168.0.1:16600"' or 'port "16600"' (or both) in my /etc/mpd.conf,
mpd just ignores them and listens to default port (6600).
# lsof|grep mpd|grep TCP
mpd 20791 mpd 9u IPv4 269974 0t0
TCP moot:6600 (LISTEN)

This is the only related thing I found from /var/log/mpd/mpd.log:
Nov 06 09:47 : zeroconf: No global port, disabling zeroconf
Googling that actually lead me to an URL(1) containing a solution.
To workaround the situation, I did:
systemctl disable mpd.socket
systemctl enable mpd.service
systemctl restart mpd.service
I have no idea whether that is a ideal solution or if it breaks
somethinge else. Anyway, I think the "port" and "bind_to_address"
options should work out of the box. I am also confused by the fact that
the default port was used instead of the one I specified and no errors
were shown in systemd or mpd logs about this fallback. The only thing
that was perhaps somehow related was this zeroconf thing. Example config
is attached.
