communicating with a running omxplayer

No apologies for duplicate posting. ;)
Posting here for greater visibility as no response as yet.

Had a look around, can't find anything (other than a python based web interface).

I run a headless media centre, using mpd and tvheadend and omxplayer.
I send commands to mpd and tvheadend remotely very easily. I want to do the same with a running omxplayer.
The way I start omxplayer is typically:-
ssh myuserid@myserver omxplayer {myfile_or_stream} &

All I want to do is, for example, turn the volume up or down on omxplayer subsequently.
Is there a way to do this?
