It seems like this solution would be the much more preferable option
from a unix-y view - reusable components are better than single-use
components. Both would prolly be a similar amount of work - either way,
you're writing some way of converting the player to work with a set
access method, its just how universal that access method will be
(desktop-wide or rhythmbox-centric)
