specifying user or socketfile for libxmms

I'm trying to find a way for an apache server running as nobody to control 
xmms running for a specific user.  I'm using perl and Xmms::Remote, which 
seems to be a pretty thin wrapper over libxmms.

I can specify the session number to connect to, but as far as I can see, 
there's no way to specify the username to connect to.  It appears to use 
glib's g_get_user_name, with no option to override.

Is there any way to override this?  I've tried messing with setting my 
euid and with the USER and LOGNAME environment vars, but xmms is smarter 
than that.

Ideally, there'd be a way to specify the socket filename rather than just 
the session number.
