How about checking stdout? While playing, you'll get an output every 0.1 
seconds or so, if there is no data for more than 0.2 seconds, the file 
has ended.

Or, in the output is both the position and the duration:

A: 299.2 (04:59.2) of 299.0 (04:59.0)  1.5%

If both is the same, the file should be over.
