Upcoming moOde 6.4.0 update

[Tim Curtis]

The main benefits of MPD 0.21.y series for Audiophiles are:

1) The huge number of bug fixes and improvements.

2) The use of real-time fifo scheduling for certain audio output threads. Remember that this capability does not improve SQ but it may calm the mind knowing that MPD is running as efficiently as possible :-)

Code:

pi@rp3:~ $ ps H -q `pidof -s mpd` -o 'pid,tid,cls,rtprio,comm'
 PID   TID CLS RTPRIO COMMAND
1126  1126  TS      - mpd
1126  1130  TS      - io
1126  1131  FF     50 rtio
1126  1273  TS      - player
1126  1274  TS      - decoder:faad
1126  1312  FF     50 output:ALSA def

Same for Bluez-alsa 2.0.0:

1) Huge number of bug fixes and improvements

2) Crucial bug fix that enables MPD 0.21.y series to output to Bluetooth speaker
https://github.com/Arkq/bluez-alsa/issues/174

3) Given #2 above, this version of bluez-alsa allows the moOde project to deprecate the ancient MPD 0.20.23 which was only being  supported for output to BT speaker.
