I recompiled mpd just with libmad and alsa output. The average CPU load is 70%, but the device has nothing more to do as playing mp3. Nevertheless, thank you for your ideas. How I like free software! :-) It works now!

I have 2 mpd processes who need about 45% cpu and 2 mpd processes who need about 2%, together with other tasks the cpu is full. /proc/cpuinfo say I have just 82.94 BogoMIPS. On the other hand, madplay uses about 60% cpu time. So it is possible with this cpu. I think that mpd is doing some re-sampling or mixing. I tried a lot of settings for mpd but couldn't turn down the cpu usage. Maybe I really have to start compiling mpd on my own. It is mpd.

Unfortunately, the CPU is used more than 100% :-( Have you done special settings to get smooth playing songs? Greets Urs I have a similar setting:
