You could use my displayserver...
This way you can also show the running visuals in a webbrowser. I finished the IR-hack in the kernel, so the next release will let you push the buttons in the applet to operate the empeg from your web-browser. I will release the new version in the weekend I think. displayserver can be found at http://fvgestel.dyndns.org/empeg/
The old version only shows the empeg display area; the new one also shows the full fascia of the player with clickable controls.
