Our music player, Gutenbach, is currently running on lprng. With the rest of campus switching to CUPS, it's really time we did so as well.

However, it consists of verifying that the view name is "main" and returning an error otherwise. It would be nice to maintain multiple sets of view state at once. This would involve figuring out semantics, moving some data structures around, adding the new functionality, designing some interface, and probably much testing for subtle bugs.
