The delay is most certainly to do with the other players. If the player
list is just mpv then you should either playing or an ipc error message.

My first guess is that this has to do with whether the track has a
`streamlist' or `url' type in emms, which will then determine if mpv
gets a "loadlist" or "loadfile" command.
