What are the realities of exposing the playback component as a bonobo
control. We can then fire up the playback component to do things for us.
Plus, if we play a CD using SJ, the applet will update automagically.

Of course, since g-v-m will play CD's automatically nowadays, perhaps we
should kill the applet and put a notification area icon applet into SJ.
