I googled for this issue and found a howto/tutorial that went through a whole lot of different ways of getting it to work (to do with pulseadio service permissions and network port permissions and such).
That would only apply if you wanted to play music *from* the other machine. i.e. the client has the speakers. Mine is set up so the box with the speakers attached is the one running mpd and then I happen to run mpc from that as well but it appears to work from elsewhere without effort (well I think you have to tell mpd to respond to client requests from somewhere other than localhost in a config file somewhere)
If you are going to set it up with network sound sinks in pulse that forward the audio to other clients that then control the mpd server then I would consider just running mpd at each host and attaching via nfs as I dunno if it can handle multiple client instances playing different music at the same time.
