I have followed your instructions but I did not solve the issue.
My hardware is made by ALIX3D2 pcb and Iomega NAS mounted as Samba.
Installation was done through live CD.

MPD 0.10.0
I added the rsize option in fstab but after rebooting I was not able to 
connect to the server.
The three leds on the rear side of the ALIX remained off.

MPD 0.9.5
First of all I tried without adding the rsize option in fstab.
Even with this release I had the same trouble. I was able to detect right 
sound only with 44khz files.
Then I added the rsize as above but also in this case, after reboot, server 
did not respond.

Probably I am making a mistake when adding the rsize otion (I am not a 
Linux expert), in any case even with 0.9.5 which should be the more "tuned" 
version the sound issue is always present.
I look forward your feeback.

Thanks in advance
