As Bryan says mplayer.sh is a wrapper round mplayer which is responsible
for killing it.

It saves the mplayer process id in a temporary file in /tmp and then
kills it once the input file handle to mplayer.sh is closed by
slimserver.  You could check that the pid files are being created
correctly and perhaps put an echo statement in after the cat line to
say when it is killing the process.

[mplayer.sh is a hack to get round two problems: slimserver doesn't
kill helper apps when it moves on to the next track, it assumes closing
the file handle will do this; mplayer doesn't exit when the output file
handle is closed]
