alsaplayer used to have this functionality.
Hmmm, it started up a GUI when I tried installing it here. I think the
original poster was looking for a CLI player.
alsaplayer -i text
IIRC it also has support for scripting with python. Several people have
written fairly advanced g/uis for use in car audio systems and other
places where a button controlled interface is useful.
I see there's also the alsaplayer-daemon, which "provides a
non-interactive (daemon) interface to the player, so that it is only
accessible via a remote control application." Perhaps the original
poster could use something like that, if the text version isn't able to
do what's wanted.
