Hold on.
I think I may have managed to create more smoke than fire here. I need to understand better just how MPD and ffmpeg are interacting to read the file and convert it to streaming format. It's midnight; I think I'll sleep on it.
Meanwhile,it's possible to use ffprobe to look at some file details. Here's what I get for my test file
