The use flags look alright,  I think, the only differences are:
-ipv6 +mikmod +musepack on my desktop. But yet I have a lot more
support codecs then you do:

[09:13 AM]wwong ~ $ mpd --version
mpd (MPD: Music Player Daemon) 0.13.2

Supported outputs:

I am not quite sure whether some sort of auto-detection at build-time
gives me those formats. Hum, along that line, you can try the 0.14.2
version as suggested by the devs. At the very least you get more
configuration options.
