A user hook which I would personally find very useful is a script which would
be run just before the audio device is opened. This would allow whatever is
currently playing to continue until trplayer is invoked with a valid URL. This
kind of a hook would, for example, make it easy to get trplayer to work like
realplay does, i.e. be invoked a second time to switch stations. trplayer
could, of course, implement the station switching facility completely
internally, but I think the user script approach is more general and has more
applications.

This facility could be implemented in a couple of ways. The first is to
implement "-o script-path" (-o meaning open script), the weakness of this
apprach being that the user would have to remember to supply the option all the
time. The second is to assume a path, e.g. "$HOME/.trplayer.open", and only run
it if that path refers to a file which is executable.
