Fixed in git master (eedd61d).

Should be compatible with any older mpv versions, as all fix does is
introducing aforementioned (non-blocking) delay between stop/start commands.

Simpliest workaround in earlier emms-player-mpv.el versions with new
mpv-0.30 is to set emms-player-mpv-ipc-method to 'file (which will also
disable some newer ipc features however).

Other than that, anything that'd run something like "emms-stop, wait 0.1s"
before switching to selected track will also work, but probably more
hassle than replacing emms-player-mpv.el with the one from git.

Thanks for reporting!
Probably should update my machine more often too :)
