Wouldn't just cat stream.dump | mplayer - do it? Without any fifos?
Or with MP3s the following should definitly work:
tail -f stream.dump | mplayer -
But actually I think the problem is that you are using the cache and
thus you really reach the end of file., so maybe just try
mplayer -nocache stream.dump
