Well the actual change is trivial, so if there is an easy way to use
FIFO, I'd like to go with that.  I'll also try to fix a new patch
including texinfo soon, so that you can test and include it into the
next release if you wish.

mpv's socket IPC has one advantage though: it is duplex, which might
open up some interesting possibilities like asking for stream info etc.
But that is future work anyway.

Thanks.  I also posted a question to gnu.emacs.help.
