Slimserver allows the control of any player through the command line. Check
out the "technical information" section of slimserver for the documentation
of how to do this.

Cool, thanks. A follow-up question:

Since I won't actually be looking at the screen and can control the player from the command line, it makes sense to forget the softsqueeze and use something that doesn't require X. (Then I can eliminate X from the SUSE install altogether, not boot into it, or, I suppose, install a stripped-down Linux like Gentoo.) Is there a simple player with either no UI or a command-line UI that will still support playing of AAC files from a Linux-installed slimserver?

Something that actually has its own command-line UI seems like it might make the most sense, since then I won't need to make a second connection out to the server to control it. But obviously that's not essential.

Thanks again,
--Dave
