If I understood correctly, you have a NAS box/server that hosts your
media. You installed mpd on that box and you want to control it from
your laptop, but you also want to hear music from that box on your
laptop. It wont work that way. GMPC is a client application to control
mpd so you can start, stop, pause etc. your music, but to actually hear
it on your laptop, you need to configure mpd audio_output{} in your
mpd.conf
By default, it will send sound to it's local sound card (pulse audio or
alsa). You can instead send that sound on some port as
httpd type and stream it so it can be captured by some external
application.
audio_output {
type "httpd"
name "My HTTP Stream"
encoder "vorbis" # optional, vorbis or lame
port "8001"
bitrate "128" # do not define if quality is
defined
format "44100:16:1"
}
I used vlc and mplayer to listen that kind of stream on my computer.
