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.
I had difficulty doing this on a Linux box (Mandrake 10.1) without X installed. I seem to remember Java had some trouble initialising Swing (even though I was running in headless mode).
The other option is slimp3 which is completely command line but only plays mp3 (or all the other formats transcoded into mp3).
Did you mean "slimp3slave" here? All I wanted to do in my set-up was have a headless slave player, and in the end I used a combination of slimp3slave and madplay, which worked very well (even got it to start up as a service when I booted the machine).
slimp3slave will take keyboard input for a variety of simple commands, so maybe it could be used for what the OP wanted?
