I think you can do that with mplayer, but you may need to build a
playlist first in order to play more than one file. It just worked
fine, in commandline, playing one specific file. I didn't try to
figure out commandline playlist building.

The nux repository, mentioned at the top of this centos wiki page,
has mplayer (and a bunch of other audio-related things).
