Oh, there was someone else asking the same question, thought it was you.
Sorry, mea culpa.

lirc is still included, but afaik it's now in the normal binary (if you
enable it), though i never used it.

the playtree is the list you give mplayer over the commandline,
it's something like a playlist, yes. It's called playtree, because
internaly it builds a tree with all options that you give, global, per
group of files and per file. See section 3 of the documentation.

Then ask here, that's what this mailinglist is for. But you have
to show that you have already done something to get your problem solved.
