Configure MPD

In order to be able streaming you need MPD >=0.15 and a http server. Most current distribution comes with such a version (e.g. Ubuntu 10.04).

You need to enable streaming over HTTP by adding such a section in your mpd.conf (/etc/mpd/mpd.conf)

audio_output {    
	type		"httpd"    
	name		"My HTTP Stream"    
	encoder		"lame"			# optional, vorbis or lame    
	port		"8000"    
#	quality		"5.0"			# do not define if bitrate is defined    
	bitrate		"128"			# do not define if quality is defined    
	format		"44100:16:1"    
}
