Exactly. With the "udpfeed" command, the client could tell MPD how many packets it has received since the last "udpfeed" command, and MPD would then calculate the packet loss (it already knows how many packets it has sent to that client). Based on that information, MPD could throttle, or tell the client that it's not possible to send the stream reliably.
