-If you are using MPD, you can directly output audio to a FIFO sink and read that sink using Snapcast. For example, see the setup in this blog: https://blog.firedrake.org/archive/2022/11/Home_audio_with_mpd_and_snapcast.html.
+Note that MPD can directly act as a Snapcast audio source (see https://mpd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins.html#snapcast). However, it does not provide all features of a Snapcast server such as the web interface.
