+// TODO: While having a canonical backend is useful for maintaining a baseline
+// playback position and queue/library with which to sync clients, it probably
+// shouldn't be necessary to have an actual JS reference to that backend.
+// Making communication with the canonical backend work over socket (in as much
+// as possible the same way we do current socket communication) means the
+// server can be run on a remote host without requiring access to the music
+// library from there. This would be handy for people with a VPN with its own
+// hostname and firewall protections!
