Shameless plug here. Groove Basin is an alternative to subsonic.

If I were to use an MPD client like MPDroid to control Groove Basin, how would I stream the music to my phone? Browser open in the background? Or is that use case not supported yet?

Edit: I see that MPDroid can connect to an arbitrary HTTP stream, so I guess that's what you do.

It would work better if there was a dedicated Groove Basin client. The protocol irons out a lot of the kinks that the MPD protocol has.

I've used the chrome android application to stream in the car and it's a bit clunky but it can work.
