Resetting the cache does not help.

To try to be reproductible, I've also tried with vanilla emacs (without Doom).

1. Configuring emms with :

    (require 'emms-setup)
    (require 'emms-player-mpd)
    (emms-all) 
    (setq emms-player-list '(emms-player-mpd))
    (add-to-list 'emms-info-functions 'emms-info-mpd)
    (add-to-list 'emms-player-list 'emms-player-mpd)

    (setq emms-player-mpd-server-name "localhost")
    (setq emms-player-mpd-server-port "6600")
    (setq emms-player-mpd-music-directory "/data/music")

2. Mpd is configured with

   music_directory              "/data/music"
   playlist_directory           "/var/mpd/.mpd/playlists"
   db_file                      "/var/mpd/.mpd/database"
   log_file                     "/var/mpd/.mpd/log"
   pid_file                     "/var/mpd/.mpd/pid"
   state_file                   "/var/mpd/.mpd/state"
   sticker_file                 "/var/mpd/.mpd/sticker.sql"
   user                         "mpd"
   bind_to_address              "any"
   port                         "6600"
   audio_output {
        type            "oss"
                name            "My OSS Device"
            }

2. Running

   (emms-player-mpd-connect)
   (emms-player-mpd-update-all-reset-cache)

Never finishes :

   Updating DB with ID 1.  Waiting for the update to finish...
   MPD update finished.
   Dumping MusicPD data to cache...

I'm using Emacs 28 but had the same issue with emacs 27. Also, I'm on
FreeBSD.
If you have any idea, I'll be happy to test them.
