Because of legal issues I cannot use (copyrighted) existing music files. 
I do not like online download sites, because it's difficult to predict 
what you get. So I prepared some audio files, containing test signals, 
which are tagged to resemble music files. The whole thing needs a 
structure (aka directory tree), because it is also intended to validate 
correct indexing by mpd.

The runtime test is just a very basic representation of what I normally 
do to validate the correct function of a fresh build.

Understood.
