So is this typically called synchronously or asynchronously?

In my *real* config, I actually have exactly one synchronous command
(queue audio file for music player), one asynchronous command (run
tuxguitar), and one command that ends up being opened in an ansi-term
buffer (run mplayer).

I'm guessing that calling the process asynchronously, but ignoring its
output (instead of creating a buffer for it like async-shell-command)
would cover the most use-cases (it would cover the synchronous use-cases
too).  WDYT?
