This helps in case dtas-player is hit with SIGKILL or the system
crashes.  This does not fsync(2) as that could introduce delays on

+* state dump [FILENAME]
+  Immediately dump the state of the player.  If a FILENAME is specified,

 * watch - adds the client to the passive watch list for notifications.
   It is recommended clients issue no further commands and open
   another client socket to issue non-watch commands.
