nonblocking possibly, but a simple select on fd 2 might do it (or is
there a way to test if a write will block besides select?). If you
give me a simple remote-control interface (similar to mpg123's maybe?)
I could implement it, but not soon because I have tons of end-of-year
concerns to worry about and I'm not getting graded on
ogg123. Volunteers?

Speaking of which, there's a remote control patch that I haven't
looked at either, for the same reasons.
