<p>Some audio players open a second instance when you actually want to switch radios.
In this case it's a common workaround to write <code>pkill vlc ; vlc %u</code> instead.
This ends the previous player and starts it anew.</p>
<p>Some applications, like Rhythmbox or Banshee, are pure GUI applications and cannot
be invoked with a play URL by other apps. This makes them unsuitable for use with
streamtuner2.</p>

<p>Some audio players open a second instance when you actually want to switch radios.
In this case it's a common workaround to write <code>pkill vlc ; vlc %u</code> instead,
which ends the previous player process and starts it anew.
For VLC there's however also the option <code>--one-instance</code>, which sometimes
works better.</p>
<p>Some applications, like Rhythmbox or Banshee, are primarily audio browsers, not players,
and cannot be invoked with a play URL by other apps. This makes them less suitable for use with
