Answer 1

You can try with my mpd.conf and see if it works for you (I also took the liberty to customize the directories for you, so that you don't have to change them!):

music_directory    "/home/nathan/Music"
playlist_directory "/home/nathan/.mpd/playlists"
db_file            "/home/nathan/.mpd/mpd.db"
log_file           "/home/nathan/.mpd/mpd.log"
pid_file           "/home/nathan/.mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file         "/home/nathan/.mpd/mpdstate"

audio_output {
      type  "pulse"
      name  "mpd pluse-audio-output"
 }

#audio_output {
#      type  "alsa"
#      name  "mpd alsamixer-output"
# }

audio_output {
    type                    "fifo"
    name                    "fifo_visualizer"
    path                    "/tmp/mpd.fifo"
    format                  "44100:16:2"
 }

1. If pulse doesn't work for you, you can always try alsa settings. Simply reverse/change # comments.
2. In ncmpcpp use either [8 and/or F8: Outputs], to activate/deactivate audio-output, by highlighting it, followed by pressing Enterkey!
