For audio playback there is nothing to be gained by using a real time kernel. The real time kernel enables very low latency, but to achieve that you usually do so at the cost of reduced buffer space. You can have large buffers with a real time kernel, it just simply does not matter with the larger buffers. You only need the lower latencies when playing virtual instruments where some musicians can feel the latency between a key press and the resulting sound. For the purposes of mpd, having a real time kernel is not an issue.
