Since xmms has been removed, many users are replacing it with audacious. Audacious does not grok playlists without an extension like xmms did. This is a problem as
the random track playlist is just named "play" with no extionsion. Audacious won't play it.
To change the behavior to be more audacious friendly, change one line in /usr/share/perl5/gnump3d/plugins/random.pm:
james@Samoa:~$ diff -u random.pm /usr/share/perl5/gnump3d/plugins/random.pm
--- random.pm 2008-05-14 15:07:56.000000000 -0800
+++ /usr/share/perl5/gnump3d/plugins/random.pm 2008-05-11 13:50:53.000000000 -0800

# Add a hidden form to contain the selections.

- my $form = "<table><tr><td><form action=\"/random/play\" method=\"get\">\n";
+ my $form = "<table><tr><td><form action=\"/random/play.m3u\" method=\"get\">\n";

# Add in the line numbers of the random songs.
Adding the extension gives you play.m3u which audacious will play.
I know gnump3d is orphaned, hopefully anyone else seeing this problem will find this report. It's an easy fix.
