in thread Watching LXTerminal for outputs

Thank you but I have read most of the documentation on this already.

What? Why not use the modules? Or view their source to see what they do?

My script is within an infinite while loop and I cannot have mpg321 stalling the script.

POE is all about infinite loops, use POE::Component::Player::Mpg123, it won't stall

So I have a "system("mpg321 song.mp3 &")

That probably won't work, you should use IPC::Open3,like Audio::Play::MPG123 does ( [jargon://UTSL), see also perlipc
