This sounds nice. However, before this change, probing the CLI module
would fail if no stdin TTY was available. Now if I understand correctly,
it succeeds and launches even if unusable due to no TTY (and no socket
set up). That in particular prevents fallback to a lower priority
interface module - and for example VLC probes the main interface by
priority at startup.

Shouldn't a check be added to fail if there's no input to listen on?
