I'm getting good results with MPD in the Pi with the music on another
machice as a file server. OK, sometimes FLAC tracks are a little slow
to start but generally it is good.

Yes, that's looking like my next step. ...

How does accessing the remote disk work, do you need NFS/Samba, somthing
like that ? I've never needed anything like that before (it's not a problem,
I can do Geek when I have to).

mpd can apparently connect directly to a smb or nfs server. In my
config I mount the nfs director using /etc/fstab. Partly as I did not
realise mpd could connect to the server directly.

I dunno. I did set up nfs, it was so little hassle I don't even know if it
was necessary or not. Fiddling about with alsa/pulseaudio configuration was
nastier, as &^%$! always.

Thanks.
