I found this function to capture shell output:
Code:
--------------------
-- Allows output of shell scripts to be captured.
function os.capture(cmd)
local f = io.popen(cmd, 'r')
local s = f:read('*a')
f:close()
return s
end
--------------------
So now I can get a list of USB audio devices into the applet. I've also
found out how to add items to a menu, so when I find out how to split my
list of devices into separate items I should be able to generate a group
of radio buttons to select one of the USB audio devices.

And the simpler interface I showed above is now working. It detects
whether there's a player on either interface and sets the check box
accordingly, and then it allows the player to be created or killed.
Nearly there I think. I must get back to tackling the screensaver at
some point. I started all this to have a Joggler as a controller
-without- a player.
