Heartbeep and delay start of music

A startup sound could easily be implemented but it would conflict with auto-play. i wouldn't want to hear "ready" beeps right before the song or radio station began auto-playing.

Keeping MPD audio output open and playing some sort of "silence" when the player is paused  or stopped would prevent the other audio renderers from working. They need MPD's audio output to be closed when playback is stopped so they can open the audio output.

You could try adding some startup beep code to the file below. This file gets executed after moOde startup completes. It happens after auto-play though but I do have an old TODO list item to add a new script that would be executed right before auto-play happens in the startup sequence.

Code:
/var/local/www/commandw/wrkready.sh

Hmm, I have not yet looked into that file , but it sounds like that would be only a One-Time-Startup Signal , after a startup/reboot of the RPi/HW - so the signal would not be available if the system is still up, but has not played music for a period. Right ?

I didn't understand the part with MPD's audio output and others will open their audio output ... ????  Huh
So, is there a picture available , who/what else will use the output ? 

And could it not be an on/off Option - so if I don't need a second source/output or don't need autoplay, I could enable this ?
