I'll note here if it helps that I've been *incredibly* rough with ffplay
and other ffmpeg consumers (including Firefox, Audacious, VLC) and I've
never experienced an ffmpeg-related segfault on Adélie, ppc64 + x86_64.

By "rough" I mean "files wrongly encoded by misbehaving programs", in
addition to a wide swath of formats.  I wanted to make sure that there
wouldn't be any issues playing back any media.

I've personally tested WAV (16-bit LE and 8-bit LE), AIFF (BE only),
FLAC, AU (Sun only), MP2, MP3, M4A/AAC, Apple Lossless, Opus, WebM
Audio, and CDDA (audio CDs).

I'd be *very* curious to see an example WAV file as well, if they are
unique in any way; this could even be a security-adjacent bug if there
really is a buffer issue in mpd or ffmpeg.

I'm also interested in what the audio stack looks like.  For example, is
this playing back to the ALSA back-end, Pulse, SDL, socket, sndio?  I
*have* seen a bit of trouble out of the ALSA back end at times, and the
SDL output has been no end of trouble.

Best,
