While it sounds like a great idea, I'd be at a loss for where to start. I know there were a few people on this list talking about MPD as a plugin for freevo, but it seems like the idea died before it got anywhere.
I know the musicpd.org site's wiki has some info on a very outdated SDL client, based on boss ogg, that might be a starting point for such a project. Beyond that and a lot of tinkerer's knowledge, I'm stumped. /me adds "learn python" to todo list.
