If you give me a nice API for getting that info out of a Plasma::Service 
(without doing operation calls to see if I can do other operation calls), I'll 
take it.  It does seem the natural place for it.

Something like
bool operationValid(const QString& operation)
might work (not sure about the name), but the following have to be borne in 
mind:
* even if this returns true, the operation might still fail (bad arguments, or
  the Service didn't know until it tried)
* whether an operation is valid or not can change frequently.  In this case,
  moving to the next track or starting, pausing or stopping the player can
  all affect the operations that can be performed.
