 * \brief Asynchronous MPD connections
 *
 * This class provides a very basic interface to MPD connections.  It
 * does not know much about the MPD protocol, it does not know any
 * specific MPD command.
 *
 * The constructor expects a socket descriptor which is already
 * connected to MPD.  The first thing it does is read the server's
 * handshake code ("OK MPD 0.15.0").
