Details of commands:

add_volume, volume, balance:
	"add_volume" adds to the volume level. It can be negative.
	"volume" sets the volume level: both channels can be set, e.g.
		volume 75
	sets both channels to 75, or the left and right channels can
	be set independently, e.g.
		volume 80 65
	sets left = 80, right = 65

	"balance" adjusts the balance, left = -100, center = 0, right = 100

repeat, shuffle:
	Turn on, off or toggle

window:
	Show, hide, or toggle visibility for the main, eq, playlist,
	or all windows

report:
	The outpipe is an output pipe, and is intended for applications that
	want to get some information from XMMS. For example, once activated,
	sending "report volume" will cause the current volume to be printed on
	the outpipe. The following information be requested:

	position	position on the playlist
	title		song title
	file		song filename
	volume		volume (left volume followed by right volume)
	balance		balance
	output_time	current time in song
	playlist_time	total time of song
	is_playing	whether XMMS is playing
	is_paused	whether XMMS is paused

	The default pipe file is: /tmp/xmmspipe-out_$USER.$sessionid
	A symlink to it is created in $(HOME)/.xmms/outpipe

ack:
	When active, this pipe allows issued commands to be monitored.
	For example, it could be used to ensure that a command has been
	successfully executed before issuing another one.

	"ack echo" echoes commands that were sent to the inpipe
	"ack return <msg>" prints <msg> for every command sent to the inpipe,
	e.g.  "ack return OK" will acknowledge every command with "OK".

	The default pipe file is: /tmp/xmmspipe-ack_$USER.$sessionid

id:
	If this option is activated, every time XMMS is launched, the inpipe it
	creates will be written to the "id file". It is intended for
	applications that launch multiple XMMS players so that they can match
	inpipes to XMMS instances.

	The default id file is: /tmp/xmmspipe-id_$USER
