Yeah, I need to add a socket interface to do some remote controlling.
Luckily there is now an interface plugin API so this should be easy
enough.

GTK+ only provides GUI calls, remote controlling a program requires a custom
piece of code since there's no universal Linux/Unix scripting API. I'd
like to keep the core of the player GNOME/KDE free.

Anyway, alsaplayer-remote is high on my TODO list.
