socket.io is really cool and there is a workable Perl/PSGI implementation that only sucks somewhat.

socket.io would let us broadcast volume, song, and queue information to the clients in realtime. I want to make this optional given that it requires server-specific support, might eat up many connections, and we still need a trivial way for non-browser clients to consume API data. This would be for broadcasting client data only, and sending data would still happen with XHRs.

Proof of concept is checked in. Not happy with the Perl module that implements this at all. I have another project using socket.io, so I'll see if I can resolve some of the flakyness.
