mpd is like a streaming media server.  Others exist too.  I was under
the impression it /was/ in the stable Debian (as I was looking it it for
my server) but I must have been mistaken.  If there is time/demand on
the night I'll see if I can demo it (there will be another PC there now,
I think).

I'm not too familiar with score software but if it can export in MIDI
format (as a .midi file) then you can play that with timidity (software)
or with the tool I will demo on Wednesday (hardware).

I've not had that XMMS bug before.

bye just now,
