885 server is established as soon as a new Audio::MPD object is created.
886 Commands are then sent to the server as the class's methods are called.
895 =item new( [$host] [, $port] [, $password] )
897 This is the constructor for Audio::MPD. One can specify a $hostname, a
898 $port, and a $password.
900 If none is specified then defaults to environment vars MPD_HOST, MPD_PORT
901 and MPD_PASSWORD. If those aren't set, defaults to 'localhost', 6600 and ''.
906 =head2 Controlling the server
912 Sends a ping command to the mpd server.
915 =item $mpd->version()
917 Return the version number for the server we are connected to.
922 Send a message to the MPD server telling it to shut down.
925 =item $mpd->password( [$password] )
927 Change password used to communicate with MPD server to $password.
928 Empty string is assumed if $password is not supplied.
931 =item $mpd->updatedb( [$path] )
933 Force mpd to recan its collection. If $path (relative to MPD's music directory)
934 is supplied, MPD will only scan it - otherwise, MPD will rescan its whole
938 =item $mpd->urlhandlers()
940 Return an array of supported URL schemes.
946 =head2 Handling volume & output
950 =item $mpd->volume( [+][-]$volume )
952 Sets the audio output volume percentage to absolute $volume.
953 If $volume is prefixed by '+' or '-' then the volume is changed relatively
957 =item $mpd->output_enable( $output )
959 Enable the specified audio output. $output is the ID of the audio output.

964 Disable the specified audio output. $output is the ID of the audio output.
969 =head2 Retrieving info from current state

976 as well as mpd uptime, the playtime of the playlist / the database and the
