gollark: Nothing is blocking the event loop, because other stuff keeps running.
gollark: As the majority of the system actually is just triggering events and some callbacks at certain times, I could plausibly modularize it nicely.
gollark: I have tried adding another task to start the MPD one if it stops somehow, but that somehow did nothing. I have tried vast quantities of `try`/`catch`es. I've tried turning on various async debugging options, removing the websocket interface, etc. Nothing works and I have no idea why.

gollark: It used to use gevent, but I had issues, so it's on AIOHTTP now, but also stuff breaks unfathomably.
