Xlib Manual can be found on http://www.tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/

Maybe, you can set the background of the GUI window to 'transparent' (no defined 
background) during playing by

XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap(display, window, None)
( http://www.tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/window/XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap.html )

and reset after playing to defined color by

XSetWindowBackground(display, window, background_pixel_color)
( http://www.tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/window/XSetWindowBackground.html )


Hope this could be helpful...
