What's the actual difference between Subsonic and Madsonic? I haven't been able to find any more detailed description than "[Madsonic] adds features and bug fixes", which is hardly helpful.

That's basically it. SubSonic hasn't seen much major work in years while MadSonic seems to be an active project adding features and support.

What features? What bugs? I haven't been able to find any substantive answer to either question. Until I do, I see no reason to care about Madsonic.

There's a comparison page for features here: http://beta.madsonic.org/pages/compare.jsp

And a changelog here: http://beta.madsonic.org/pages/changelog.jsp

Neat, thanks.

If you're anything to do with Madsonic development, you might think about making that comparison page a lot easier to find. It doesn't seem to be linked anywhere very much.

I'm also uncertain how "optional video player" isn't listed as a Subsonic feature, when 5.x (and I think later 4.x as well) can stream video. I mean, I've actually streamed video from my Subsonic 5 instance, so...
