Plugin Amarok

[Rafael Brundo Uriarte <rafael uriarte gmail com>]

Folks,

I've developed a very simple plugin to control amarok playback(based
on the audacious one, thanks folks). it has got only Play, Pause,
Stop, Next Song and Previous Song (amarok 2.X hasn't got yet and dbus
interface to manage collection). I am not sure if it's worth to put in
the official release but for those who use amarok and want to give a
try, here it go (just save as ~/.local/share/kupfer/plugins/amarok.py
) :

"
__kupfer_name__ = _("Amarok")
__kupfer_sources__ = ("AmarokSource", )
__description__ = _("Very Simple Plugin to Control Amarok(2.X)
Playback, it includes Play, Stop, Pause, Next Song and Previous Song.
Make sure that amarok is running")
__version__ = "2010-11-16"

The next one I am planning (apart from improving this one) is to
control the general volume (Mute, Volume Up....)

any suggestion or critic is welcome...
