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.
Not sure if you realise, but softsqueeze can be made to run in 'headless' mode - but I am not sure if it can be controlled in this mode.
The other option is slimp3 which is completely command line but only plays mp3 (or all the other formats transcoded into mp3).
