Adding support for audio only possible?

Just wondering if it might be possible to add support for audio only? Meaning there is no video, just a black window (perhaps with the cone graphic in the middle). I'd still like to click the screen to pause, even it's audio only.
I believe there is no way for modules to detect mouse clicks without video output being present. The plugin detects mouse clicks by implementing the video filter module interface of VLC, which tells it when and where a mouse click was done on the video output surface. If the file you play is audio-only, VLC doesn't load any video-related modules, so the video filter module doesn't get loaded and the plugin is unable to detect mouse clicks. So as far as I know it's not possible.
