Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
On my MacOS laptop I am running mpd just to provide client access to local files.
I was considering swithcing it to use a UNIX domain socket instead of listening on TCP. (Yes, it's just a localhost socket, but it is still something that can go wrong if there is a port conflict some day)
MPD supports this: https://mpd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user.html#listeners
As do other clients like rmpc: https://rmpc.mierak.dev/next/configuration/#address
Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally it would be possible to configure swmpc the same way. Right now it seems to only support IP-based connections.
It's a low priority item for me, but I thought I'd open an issue to track it anyway.
Additional context
Obviously this would be a MacOS-specific feature; I doubt something similar is possible on iOS.
I'm also not sure if there are sandboxing restrictions that would make this impossible for an App Store delivered app. If so this might not be possible to implement; I'm not an expert in setting up App Store entitlements.
Did you buy swmpc from the App Store?
Yes.
