Unfortunately this options will not help in your situation. It affects
only the packets received on the mpd's interface, while you need
to alter outgoing packets.

I have fixed this in mpd CVS, but this isn't included in any release
yet. However, if you are experienced enough with CVS you can grab
and compile sources yourself.
