librmpd & rails

Hi all!

I'm trying to create a mpd ruby on rails client. librmpd supports callbacks. For example the "CURRENT_SONG_CALLBACK" callback. But If there's no request for a rails webpage, the callback isn't triggered (of course).

Does anyone have a way to overcome this problem? I thought about using something like backgroundrb, but I can't come up with a decent solution.

Does anyone have a good idea to make this work?

I found daemon_generator tonight. Does someone has any experience with this? I also read these slides:

which also seems a decent solution but it looks a bit separate from rails.
