setsid fixes the background problem but not the cron problem. I suspect 
the problem is that mplayer is getting a few errors before starting

MPlayer SVN-r31628-4.4.4 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team

I've installed the lirc libraries but it doesn't seem to eliminate the LIRC 
error. I'm not sure whats causing the socket problem, it does make the 
connection and capture the stream.

at seems to work. I haven't used at before, what's the syntax for a 
repeated event?
