There is: MPRIS. Which this dataengine supports. The design is a little daft (three different \
objects with different methods, but the same interface name). But it's there. Still, only one \
player actually uses it (Audacious). There are rumours Amarok 2 will support it. VLC 0.9.0 \
should support it.
These should all work instantly with this applet, providing they follow the spec (Audacious \
deviates slightly in some areas).
Interestingly, there's a KMediaPlayer dbus interface in kdelibs which, as far as know, no \
players support (certainly Juk doesn't).
