nrpacks=20 turns out to be the best

With a little help from the mpdpup site we settled on nrpacks=20 as the ideal setting. This can be changed quite easily using modprobe -r to unload the driver. From the command line, the following sequence gets you there.

killall mpd
modprobe -r snd-usb-audio
modprobe snd-usb-audio nrpacks=20
mpd

Sound difference between default, 1 and 20 is fairly pronounced. Thanks phofman for surfacing this parameter.
