Yup, I just 'exit'ed the program, sending no output, and it works like a
charm.

The program is rather trivial, actually.  It's 353 lines, but that's PERL,
and I don't program K&R style (IE If... { all on one line), and there's
a lot of comments and error checking.
I may even post it, if there are people interested.  I'd like to get some
feedback on it after I know it's working properly.

It does depend on more files that aren't programmed (to setup the streams,
clean up afterwards, stuff like that), but the playlist picker itself is
working just fine, it can even insert ads at random intervals. :)

Thanks for all the help!
