xmms hack

I'm looking for a way to get xmms to output to a file or print something to
stderr when it begins playing. I'm building a light controller that is driven by a database and need a flag to tell me when the music has started so I can start the output from the db to the controller. Is there a command-line option, or a small piece of code for xmms that can do this?
