OK, I'll try these in the car to see if they stop the beep...

Could you paste your mpd.conf here, at least the audio device part? I have something wrong with it because it doesn't always play and when it plays there is random silence every now and then.

Code:

audio_output {
   type    "alsa"
   name   "My ALSA Device"
   device  "hw:0,0"
   format  "44100:16:2"
}

Don't remember if this is the default, or had to tweak it.

Now, there IS a catch with mpd on the N900, and that is, if you just use it and play, the sound is very quiet, even when maxed out, maybe this accounts for your intermittent silence.

What I have to do, everytime I start playback, is to click on some sound file in the N900's file browser, AFTER mpd has already started playing. This will bring up the internal audio player, which shows having started to play the song, but it'll not play it, however the sound volume will jump right up, with mpd continuing to play but with the loud volume now.

After this it works perfectly...

That doesn't work for me very nicely. It plays for a while and then it goes mute and resumes only when I touch the screen, and then same thing again.

Does your screen go blank also at the same time as it goes quiet?

Nope.

By the way, where have you installed mpd from?

As someone else mentioned above, is it also possible to disable the FM Transmitter automatically turning off?

I was streaming di.fm in the car recently and every time I lost the signal it would start beeping (which I found useful personally, to know it hadn't crashed or something), but if it took too long to recover it would turn off the FM Transmitter so I would have to pick up the N900 and turn it back on again. Only for it to happen again, and again, it was super annoying especially as I had it plugged into USB at the time so it shouldn't be worrying about conserving battery life if currently charging.
