Hi and welcome,

For openGL and lablgl, it's barely used: only for a graphic version of
the vumeter() operator. It's safe to disable it, you aren't missing
much. Sorry if I disappoint you: there is truly little graphic
interface to liquidsoap, you have to deal with the scripts. There are
projects of graphic composition of scripts, but nothing finished.
There are however two graphic interfaces for controlling a running
liquidsoap: the very partial and getting-old liGuidsoap, and its
successor, soapbox, more polished and recent, but also more
specialized. Anyway, these are another story, you probably won't use
them much.

For samplerate, it's safe to not care. Basically, if you have a
working liq, it's fine. Samplerate can give better resampling but my
ears don't know the difference, only the spectral analysis would show
it, and the CPU would heat more.

Yes, it's easy to get lost in the possibilities. Make sure to try one
of the simple examples (e.g. from the quickstart) to get a feel of it,
and progressively add the wanted features.

First, let me say that there is a basic MPD emulation in liq. There
should be a way to connect directly MP clients to liq acting as the
server. Sam may be able to tell us more about that. But that's not
necessarily what you want. You want to control an MPD and pipe the
resulting stream in liq.

I didn't know MPD could stream to icecast :) Then you can relay the
stream to liquidsoap using an input.http(URL), or you can directly
have MPD stream to liquidsoap, which can act as an icecast server:
this is the input.harbor() thing, you can learn about it in the doc.

There might be a possibility to use jack or pulseaudio to connect MPD
and liquidsoap. It might be lighter, imply less latency, but it would
probably also be less stable.

Hope that helps,
