Technical Details

what runs on :9667

The port carries XMMS2's binary interprocess communication protocol between xmms2d and client applications. Clients establish a session with the daemon and exchange framed command, response, and event messages for playback control, playlist management, and media-library queries. TCP 9667 is the conventional network listener; XMMS2 can also be configured for local sockets and other bind settings. Traffic is not encrypted by the protocol itself.

security overview

An internet-facing XMMS2 daemon exposes media-control and library operations over cleartext protocol traffic and should normally be restricted to localhost or a trusted management network. Exposure is uncommon, but an accessible service may allow unauthorized clients to control playback or inspect and modify media state; use firewall rules or a secure tunnel rather than publishing it directly.
