Part about format to write to emphatic elided. I assume we'd just send you bits in the format you'd write to the screen via the hijack ioctl.

Now, the real question is if we had that, would GPSapp and emphatic play nicely together? For that to work, GPSApp would have to have a background thread that would be reading the GPS stuff and writing it to the pipe. If GPSapp ever needed to be brought to the foreground, there might be problems, as multiple apps accessing display/input is not handled very well.

Worse. To inject commands to the player, empire uses the serial port, even though technically it doesn't need it, because that's where the player listens. gpsapp actually needs it, because, well, GPS receiver.

Bend over.
