Maybe a real convenience function for this would be better. Relying on a
non-positive getPlayingTime() or a NULL getPlayingPath() doesn't seem
aesthetically correct :)

A getPlayerStatus() method looks like a better idea. States would be
loading, playing, idle. Toughts ?

the stop button appears when the current visible source is not the
current playing source.
