I've got it working on both hardfloat and softfloat, although I've not tested wav16 and 32 on the softfloat yet.

Sorry I'm on a steep learning curve with mpd at the moment, it looks like mpd does use libav as you suggest. I found these instructions on how to compile mpd and libav is part of the pre reqs.

This is quite a puzzle, as I would expect that libav or ffmpeg would be used only when decoding compressed formats such as FLAC, not for playing uncompressed WAV data.

The mpd documentation seems very unhelpful for dealing with setup issues like this. It doesn't even mention the ffmpeg decoder plugin in the list of decoder plugins.

As mplayer is working with WAV files, I will switch to this instead. Thanks very much for your help!
