-# If the names of files or directories are
-# not correctly displayed then set the
-# following to the filesystem coding.
+# MPD supports many audio output types, as well as playing
+# through multiple audio outputs at the same time. You can
+# specify one or more here. If you don't specify any, MPD will
+# automatically scan for a usable audio output.
#
-# Usually this is either:
-# ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8
+# See <http://mpd.wikia.com/...> for examples of other audio
+# outputs, such as PulseAudio, libao, etc.
#
-# After changing the filesystem_charset
-# you will need to recreate the db:
-# mpd --create-db
+# An example of an ALSA output:
#
-#filesystem_charset "ISO-8859-1"
