When I modifed USE to USE="-X -gnome -kde -gtk" ,
I finally successed in installing mplayer without graphical
desktop. But I got another problem.
 
# mplayer  christmas\ in\ my\ heart.mp3
 
It printed some error messages though mplayer could played mp3 file
without sound.
 
Error Message:

The sound card driver I have built into kernel . When I used lspci,
I can see that "hda_intel" is the driver for sound card.
So what's wrong with it ?

First use modules. This post [1] from the forum is about the mic but
it walks you through the process of setting up sound pretty well.

My reading of those errors implies that you might have an alsa config
file left over which is confusing mplayer. Make sure that you don't
have .asoundrc or .alsa*  in your ${HOME}. You probably don't need one
(not for most setups).

Is your card in `cat /proc/asound/cards` or alsamixer ? (can't check
correct location, in Windows atm).
