That's the point though. Why introduce this complexity when it's unnecessary? Let's state a much simpler way without complicating how things currently work. Method 1: Use icecast/http output. Transfers sound to your laptop without problem over slow connections as well. Method 2: Use pulseaudio. Transfers sound losslessly if you have enough bandwidth. Method 3: Use a file server (NFS or samba?) It's completely unnecessary, but you could transfer the files you want over nfs, transparently. Method 4 (not yet implemented): Using upnp/dlna. It's not yet implemented but it's not out of the realm of possibility for the future in MPD. Now, why did I say that's the point? MPD was (initially) created to be simple. A few different projects had the same idea but tried to do it with too much complexity. They tried to do too much all at once when it was better to keep things simple and most of them have been abandoned due to being unable to reach any kind of goal. Point is MPD can /easily/ do what you're looking for without reworking a wheel.
