"gqmpeg" is just a front end for "mpg123". Maybe it would work to make
"mpg123" on the one machine a shell script, like "ssh headless mpg123"?
"madplay" is a nicer command line player than "mpg123" -- it supports
variable bit rate, and it gives a nice little display while it's running
-- but I don't believe there are any graphical front ends for it.
