does anyone know whether exaile can be automated, whetheri n python or
bash? I need to call a "exaile --stop-playing" somehow so I can rmmod
my sound module before suspending the machine I''m using (the module is
buggy). I can do this with amarok using dcop, but exaile doesn't have
any documented interfacesthat I've yet been able to find. thanks much!
