This specifies the path of the FIFO to write to.
Must be an absolute path. If the path does not
exist, it will be created when MPD is started, and
removed when MPD is stopped. The FIFO will be
created with the same user and group as MPD is
running as. Default permissions can be modified by
using the builtin shell command "umask". If a FIFO
already exists at the specified path it will be
reused, and will not be removed when MPD is stopped.
You can use the "mkfifo" command to create this, and
then you may modify the permissions to your liking.
