'mpc idleloop' prints the category of events, certainly not the real
changes.

Like my other package, mpc is ideal for interactive use, but not for
small automation stuff.
I created a raspberry pi box that engages the audio amplifier whenever
mpd plays, and standby when mpd pauses/stops.

It's hard to build stable scripts around 'mpc' for that regards,
as you need several calls, and the state may change in between.

mpdstate fixes that flow.

Like my other package, I may need to add that kind of comments, I
learned that, and you're right in pointing me to that.

I'm yet puzzled by the version info that I take from the git repository,
that does not work in buildroot since it's buildroot's git repo there.
I haven't found a solution yet, and that's keeping me from updating my
patches :-)

Thanks for the review, I'll take that into account.
