I think I can tap into the 5V power supplied by the amp.
To test that, connect a 100 ohm resistor between what you think is the 5 V output and what you think is its return, and see if the 5 V sags down. 100 ohms equates to 50 mA, more than enough for one relay and one LED, or the CMOS logic, or whatever.
