There seem to have been another similar issue filed with :nowait for
server sockets as well, but unfortunately neither got any attention so far.

So implemened and pushed a workaround to simply disable :nowait
in emacs-26 and later versions until that issue will be resolved.

I think this should only impact emacs performance if mpv process
becomes unresponsive and ipc socket buffers fill up, which should not
happen normally.

Workaround with 'file as emms-player-mpv-ipc-method should no longer be
necessary, and I'd appreciate if you can test and confirm that it works
in your case as well.

Again, thanks a lot for helping to track down this issue.
I'm usually lagging a bit behind OS updates, so probably wouldn't have
spotted it for a while, despite emacs-26.1 being available in Arch repos.
