This specifies how many bytes to write to the audio device at once. This
parameter is to work around a bug in older versions of libao on sound cards

+.B path <path>
+This specifies the path of the FIFO to output 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 \fBnot\fP 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.
