Right, the port has a nice new patch [1], which means you don't need
anything special in ${MPDCONF} any more.

0.16.1_2 will disable 24-bit audio support on non-Linux systems.

I've heard from some that you may have trouble on this version with
autodetected sound drivers; best to explicitly uncomment the oss
section of mpd.conf.

Any more complaints, pass them to me!
