Thanks. I have discovered MPlayer 1.0 pre2 plays flacs, so it's a good
enough universal command line music player now :-)
But you can also use "xvfb-run xmms" with screen and xmms-shell to do
the same sort of thing, but Mplayer with screen is less of a hack.
The latter acts like a "jukebox daemon" because it stays running, but I
think I can write my scripts in a blocking fashion.
Thanks again.
