How can foobar run a .exe file when songs are on?

My 2x16 character lcd uses software called Smartie 5.2 that lets you choose the file that is supposed to be winamp.exe and uses that somehow to see if winamp is active.

i need a way to have that point to something that is active when i'm actually playing songs, but when foobar closes the songs it closes.

for example, i pointed it to foobar.exe, and whenever foobar is running it thinks "winamp is active", but it doesn't care if music is actually playing right now, I have to exit foobar to get "winamp is inactive" status. I was wondering if there was some foobar 2000 specific file that I could point it to, or if there was an easy plugin that can start a useless process/.exe whenever a song is playing and quit it when a song is not playing.  THis should be doable.  Can any experts help me?
