yikes. That suggests that mpd is using yet another encoding, i.e. 24bits
in 32bit words, but with most-significant 8bits padded to zero.

Is volume ok with aplay..?

If the above hypothesis is correct, adding "-ea:25600" should get the
volume back to its original level (effectively bitshifting each sample
left by 8). The real-fix would be to figure out what exact format
mpd is sending...
