You may be able to get the functionality you are looking for already. A few
mp3 players (at least gqmpeg) have fifo files that you just echo things
into to control them. For instance I have a bbkeys command that does
KeyToGrab(Right), WithModifier(Control+Mod1), WithAction(ExecCommand), \
DoThis(echo next > ~/.gqmpeg/command)
(its one line)
So control+alt+arrow moves to the next song. Handy.
