audio and MIDI-related files in /dev are supposed to be owned by root, by default only sndiod(8) uses them directly. Most probably _mpd user and you are trying to connect to sndiod simultaneously. If so, you can authorize _mpd to connect to your sndio session by copying your ~/.sndio/cookie to _mpd home directory. There's a short explanation in the "Authentication" section of sndio(7).
