C :: Can Play Audio Without Extra Window Showing?

I got this code from a wiki that taught me how to make C code that plays audio, and with a few changes I was able to get it to take a command-line argument as the music file name. Here it is

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <SDL/SDL.h>
#include <SDL/SDL_mixer.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

[Code] ....

The only problem is, even though I guess it needs to create a window to work with SDL, is there any way you could hide it or something so the user can't see it? I don't really want to see it ( I'm planning on running it from Batch files or C applications as an easy way to play an audio file once ), because if I did, I might as well just use a default audio player instead.
