    mpris: Do not send PlaybackStatus property if unchanged
    
    GstPlayer state changes can be redundant because of its asynchronous
    nature. For example, when launching a new song, the playing state is
    sent two times. This results in the PlaybackStatus "Playing" property
    being sent two times.
    
    Checking  that the status has really changed to avoid sending two
    times the same signal.
