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}.
