I'm not sure... what exactly would such plugins do? what sort of integration 
do you mean?

I'd imagine that, if it were done the Plasma Way, there would be a dataengine 
for each media player (or maybe just one for those that have that standard 
dbus interface I vaguely remember hearding of?), and then either one or 
several applets providing the UI... could you use essentially the same UI for 
any media player, or would they all have to be different?
