Old friend of mine is (or maybe just was) one of the mpd hackers. He pushed it around the office some but it was really unfriendly back then. I helped him optimize some of the FLAC code for ARM (I think I was the only one in the office that knew ARM assembly and gcc's output was terrible, so you had to hand-optimize a lot of stuff. gcc still produces sub-optimal x86-like ARM code last I checked) so it'd run on his hacked iPod. He was optimizing the hell out of it because he needed free software to do gapless playback of FLACs. Really cool guy, great hacker, but also eccentric like you'd expect.
He had a clause in his employment contract that he would never be required to use non-free software.
