Linux + Icecast +Winamp + MPG123 question

[Venner]

Ok. Here's the deal. I'm using winamp with the shoutcast plugin to stream audio to a linux box running an icecast server.
The linux box is connected to my roomate's really, really nice receiver/speakers and I've been using mpg123 to play the stream out to the receiver. I'd like some way to not have to telnet in and start up mpg123 every single time we want audio - any ideas?

The linux box is just a little p133 server. No keyboard, mouse, or even video card, so a simple solution would be the best.

Thanks,

How would like you like to start it? You could setup a small script and run it from a web page I guess.

Write a little script or daemon to sit on the port that this stuff goes to and start mpg123 when it recieves data. Of course, unless you have the server send out certain information to start with a simple port scan could start mpg123
