I think something similar with xargs would work too:
find -name '*.mpc' -print0 | \
xargs -0 -i mppdec "{}" "`echo {} | sed s/.mpc/.wav`"
No, because the section in backticks would be executed by the shell,
before xargs.
xargs can't be used to run anything with shell substitution. It doesn't
call system().
It's ugly to use substitution, but being pedantic you can use "bash -c
cmd" and maybe "exec" to do what you want.
Note that I never actually *do* it that way, I'm just noting that if you
insist on that solution it isn't impossible, just ugly.
