It seams that there is actually a way to use only GMPC (kinda, as you
still need mplayer installed):
http://blog.sarine.nl/2011/02/06/gmpcmpdssh-listen-to-your-music-from-home-at-work/
You don't need that ssh port forwarding to make it work, but if you
don't limit mpd http port to your laptop's address, anyone could capture
that stream. Not really a issue if it's on your local network.
I haven't tried this and it's a little old article, but I guess it will
work.
