AuthGetData() is the "right" place to do that, except that if your
operation blocks for a long time (e.g., while accessing some external
resource) then mpd itself will block too (mpd is event-driven, not
threaded), so any other links that might be doing negotiation, LCP
echoes, etc. will be delayed. In practice this is rarely a problem
unless you are doing lots of links simultaneously.
