This doesn't look UP to me :)

Whenever MPD receives a connection, and assigns that interface to a
client, it will change the MTU and mark it as UP.

At least, it does for me...

Interface down, mpd running, no client connected:

ng0: flags=8890<POINTOPOINT,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::209:5bff:fe2f:692c%ng0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7 

Client connects:

ng0: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1396
        inet 192.168.0.1 --> 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffffff 
        inet6 fe80::209:5bff:fe2f:692c%ng0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7
