Way to disable video field?

Nice module - simple and elegant. But here's my problem: I would like to use it for audiostreams, (not downloaded audio) hence there's no need for the video screen in this case. I was able to get the audio to work fine, but being unable to disable the screen makes it unusable for this purpose - is there any way to get around this?

I may also be going around this the wrong way; what I'd like is just a small button with a label, start/stop and volume control. I haven't been able to do this with the audio module - am I missing something? Anyway, any help would be most appreciated - keep up the great work and thanks!
