Auggggh!  I finally understand!  The people who wrote the mpd (music 
player daemon) and the clients created a fully networked architecture 
for playing music where the DAEMON PLAYS THE MUSIC!
This is not streaming media at all.  The daemon has to be on your local 
machine which completely defeats the purpose of consolidating your music 
on a central server.  I started all this because playing music off nfs 
mounts caused all sorts of problems when I put my laptop on and off the 
docking station (network interruption and nfs problems galore!).
I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone would set out to architect 
it this way but its usless to me :(
