Well, not code-wise, thanks :). I just managed to get extremely busy :(

Ok, so I promise I'll post the updated patch tomorrow (I'm not at home) in its 
current state at worse (which should apply and compile and work fine) :).

And in case I get some extra time, what are the features people would like to 
have ? I can see, apart from those already existing :

- play/pause/next/back
- stop (is it really useful now that the sound device is released on pause ?)
- get current / total song time, and maybe seek to a given second in the song
- get/set visibility, repeat and shuffle

I'm not sure if the bonobo interface is suited for library/source operations 
such as inspection and selection, as data sets can be huge. If those are 
useful I'll write another patch :)

Cheers,
