OK, the problem is I am wanting a different meaning of "playing" than
ap_is_playing is using. I want to be told "Yes" if alsaplayer is
downloading a file, spinning up a CDROM drive, in the gap between two
files playing or actually playing the file. I only want to be told "No"
if it's sitting there waiting to be told what to do as it's finished
playing its playlist.

Would you be willing to add an ap_is_active (or whatever name you like)
for this?


Thanks
Ian
