[Malvern] Command queueing

Hi,

I want to set up a headless CD ripping machine which has a fairly simple 
behaviour - when you put a CD in, it rips it to WAV files and plays them.

CDDE should take care of starting the script when a CD is inserted, and ABCDE 
should take care of ripping (and tagging and encoding, but that's irrelevant).

The only bit I'm not sure of is how to queue each WAV file to be played to the 
soundcard.  I can think of several options:

*  A command queue, which I can stick "mpg123 file.wav" each time a track 
begins encoding
*  A command-line media player that keeps a playlist, and invoking it multiple 
times adds files to the playlist
*  A command line player that can play all of the contents of a directory, and 
will notice if the contents of that directory is updated

Does anybody know of anything that fits these requirements?

Cheers,

Jon
