This is most probably caused by mpd running as a different user as
you, in turn not having access to your ~/.sndio/cookie, needed to
connect to sndiod while you're using it.

You could either run mpd as your user-id or give the _mpd user access
to your audio session by copying your ~/.sndio/cookie into _mpd's home
directory.
