Possibly OT: Controlling winamp with Python

[Brent W. Hughes]

I'm running Windows XP and I'm using winamp to listen to internet radio 
stations.  Occasionally, an annoying commercial will come on.  I would like 
to write a Python program that, when run, will, in essence, push on winamp's 
mute button.  Then, after say 20 seconds, it will push the mute button again 
to restore the sound.  Is such a thing possible?
