(mpd-serialize-boolean): Alias to and integrate logic into... (mpd-serialize-field): ... this. (mpd-serialize-list-of-string): New variable. (mpd-plugin?, mpd-partition?, list-of-string?, list-of-symbol?) (list-of-mpd-plugin?, list-of-mpd-partition?) (list-of-mpd-plugin-or-output?, port?): New variables. (mpd-file-name, mpd-service-activation): Remove variables. (mpd-configuration) [package, group, shepherd-requirement, log-file, log-level, music-directory] [playlist-directory, endpoints, database, partitions, neighbors, inputs] [archive-plugins, input-cache-size, decoders, resampler, filters] [playlist-plugins, extra-options]: New fields. [music-dir, playlist-dir, address]: Deprecate shorthand fields. [db-file, state-file, sticker-file, port, outputs]: Change admissible type. (mpd-shepherd-service) [actions]: New shepherd actions: 'reopen' and 'configuration'. [requirement]: Splice with 'shepherd-requirement' field. [start]: Use 'package' field.

Specifies whether this audio output is enabled when MPD is started. By
default, all audio outputs are enabled. This is just the default
