We are doing this at least since I started working on Mixxx. If I
remember correctly the reason for this is that under Linux you can mount
drives to arbitrary positions in the folder tree. This way we also
support more exotic mount points like:

/net_mount/nas_music
/opt/this/looks/like/a/good/place/for/music
