I'm sorry, but I find it extremely confusing that you discuss if any of the clients make a difference on the mpd server's behavior.
This was to know whether his issue was client or server side.
There's a section audio_output in mpd.conf, which probably caught some glitch, probably related to your sound system.
Me, I have no issue... Try replying to Sébastien instead.
checked for a /etc/mpd.conf.pacnew yet? as for my own config:
audio_output { type "alsa" mixer_type "software" mixer_control "Master" }
also, there are plenty of examples in my mpd.conf, some fiddling will likely solve the issue
That's a horrendous approach to problem solving, really. My advice: let everything commented in your mpd.conf so that MPD autodetects ALSA... -- Gaetan
