How can you programmatically tell that audio is playing or at least 
being sent to the soundcard?

I've got an application that occasionally fails to pick up a remote 
stream, but the process hangs around so I can't tell that it failed just 
by checking the process list. I would like to be able to tell if  the 
application is sending audio or not so I can retry.

I've checked the archives, googled, and tried cat'ing /dev/audio (which 
seems to return data whether or not audio is playing).
