It works fine on a box where I have xmms and anything else expected on any workstation but not on my headless box that I use as an internet radio player.

It could be due to the fact that 'file' thinks my ogg files are MP3.
$ file 01-crazy_train.ogg 
01-crazy_train.ogg: MP3 file with ID3 version 2.3.0 tag

Ogg files have been created with grip using oggenc and play perfectly with xmms/bmp/ogg123/mpd

I haven't been able to convince mplayer that my files are OggVorbis.
USE="-mad" did not improve anything.

I had left grip add an MP3 tag to my ogg files. My bad.
All files fixed with `audiotag -r -c" " .`

Sorry about the noise.
