mplayer can play play list with the -playlist option, I know. I if I understand mpd it is acting as the server and freevo is generating the play list. What I was really looking for is a way to generate a play list from the files, recursively, randomly and pass the play list to mplayervis. The reason is not that pygoom works for goom-2k4 in full screen mode I don't like the restart at every track. Mplayer also has a -shuffle option for play lists and a -loop for repeats.
