This is probably a Unix issue, not an MPlayer issue. You should try replacing the 'mplayer' command with a 'cat' of the fifo to some terminal and see if your commands go to that terminal. Two things that look like they might need work; 1) -slave is unnecessary; 2) Mplayer's Standard Input is the file ${PLAY_LIST}.
