At the suggestion of another user suffering similar issues, I tried the
following:
1) Install the PulseAudio preferences manager (package `paprefs'); this
happened to already be installed in my case
2) In paprefs, under the "Network Access" tab, check the following two options:
* Enable network access to local sound devices
* Don't require authentication
3) Add the following to /etc/mpd.conf (replacing any existing audio_output
settings):
audio_output {
type "pulse"
name "{whatever name you want}"
}
4) Restart MPD
Short-term testing of this has yielded a significant improvement (read: the
issue appears to be fixed using the above steps). I will continue monitoring it
over the next several days and will report back if the issue re-surfaces.
