That is indeed a solution that would work. Unfortunately Audio::XMMSClient is written in XS. Therefor adding that wrapper around the according return statements would be somewhat painful unless I add some pure-perl wrapper to all XS functions, which I don't want for obvious reasons.

I already thought of using Moose and register a function to be called after a given function, but unfortunately this has the same problem as the subclassing approach: I need to have a list of all relevant functions. But as this changes frequently as the libxmmsclient API isn't stable yet and there have been large changes merged recently in the development branch I don't really want that.
