Here's the actual code for the OPEN: 
 } elsif (SliMP3::Info::isOgg($fullpath) && SliMP3::Prefs::get("transc
+ode-ogg")) {
         # Note we have to put the path in double quotes so that
         # spaces in file names are handled properly.
         my $ogg_cmd = "ogg123 -q -p 5 -d raw -f - \"$filepath\"";
         my $lame_cmd = "lame -x -r - - &";

         $client->mp3filehandle( FileHandle->new() );

         $client->mp3filehandle->open("$ogg_cmd | $lame_cmd |");

Here's the actual code for the CLOSE: 
        # close the previous handle to prevent leakage.
        if (defined $client->mp3filehandle()) {
                $client->mp3filehandle->close();
                $client->mp3filehandle(undef);
                $client->mp3filehandleIsSocket(0);
        }

The OPEN is called when PLAY, NEXT, PREVIOUS is called. OPEN, always calls CLOSE to make sure that there are no running processes. So the code really does work that way. But I see your point about TERM.
