maybe try setting "write_size" to something considerably larger than
1024?  1024 bytes is only 256 samples of 16-bit stereo.  at 44.1kHz,
that's only 5.8 miliseconds.  if mpd takes more than 5.8 ms between
writes, for whatever reason, it will skip.

from mpd.conf.5:
.B write_size <size in bytes>
This specifies how many bytes to write to the audio device at once.  This
parameter is to work around a bug in older versions of libao on sound cards
with very small buffers.  The default is 1024.
