Thanks for the good info Chris.
I'll look into the project. However, I hope that I can find a solution using OCX dispatch.
The dispatch provides all the functionalities I need.

Best regards / Med venlig hilsen
Deo

Play, definitely. Next, not specifically, but by sending the letter 'n' you can achieve that. Active device? Not sure what you mean there.

The one part that doesn't exist is "Get playing track". But you could manage this the other way around, by not invoking a playlist at all.
If you run "vlc --play-and-exit some_file.wav", then when that process terminates, the track has finished. Kill the process or send Ctrl-Q to skip to the next track. Keep track (pun intended) of what file you've most recently invoked.

I'm not sure how this ties in with your headset testing, though.

By the look of things, the Yosemite project isn't a "here it is, just deploy it" solution, but you may find that there's some useful code you can borrow.
