I haven't used a fifo to send commands to MPlayer but thinking about
it, I guess it's just a one-way connection. Reading from it, you just
read from the other end of the pipe you write to and naturally, you
get what you send.

What you need to do is to read the standard output of the MPlayer
process. That's where response is being sent to.
