As far as I can tell there should be no problem with using global
variables in this manner as things stand.  Unless a module specifically
implements preplay (there's only one I know of that does it... the
RIFF/u-law plugin) we can be sure that there will only one file open at a
time.  xmms will never call the play function again unless play has
stopped.  And since only one thread (the display thread) will ever be
making these calls, they should all be safe within the scope of xmms.
