Music Player Daemon w/ lame Support in Debian

Trying to get my old Blackberry to stream from my mpd server, it turns out the built in http stream output is not compiled with lame encoder (mp3) support. Here are some instructions on building the source package with the lame encoder options compiled in for Debian Squeeze (6.0)

(as root)
Install libmp3lame0 and lame from http://debian-multimedia.org/

cd /tmp/

Get the build dependencies for mpd:

apt-get build-dep mpd

Get the mpd source package:

apt-get source mpd 

cd mpd-0.15.12 (your version may differ)

Edit the file debian/rules and remove --disable-lame
Build the binary:

./debian/rules binary

Build the .deb package:

cd .. 

dpkg-source -b mpd-0.15.12

Install the package:

dpkg -i mpd_0.15.12-1.1_amd64.deb

Lock the package in place so that updates won't blow away your change:

echo mpd hold | dpkg --set-selections

That's it! Then you can configure an audio output in /etc/mpd.conf:

audio_output {

        type            "httpd"

        name            "My HTTP Stream"

        encoder         "lame"

        port            "8000"

        quality         "5.0"     

        always_on       "yes"  #This option doesn't seem to work for me :(

}
