I've basically finished the reimplementation of the bonobo interface
now.  The dbus interface is less complete, because coding to the
low-level dbus API isn't much fun, and the glib bindings are either not
finished yet or not in a widely-used release of dbus yet or something.
There aren't any dbus clients yet, so there's no real need to get it
working right now.

The rhythmbox--remote--0.9 branch in my archive
(http://j.kaolin.hn.org/arch/2005) holds my continuation of Jonatan's
work, plus minimal patches from elsewhere to get it to build.

rhythmbox-applet works, and I've checked a few of the python-based clients.
I haven't checked rbscrobbler or gaim-rhythmbox or
$your_favourite_client, though.

Remote-related patches are:
 jonatan pnx se--2004/rhythmbox--main--0.9--patch-[1-6]
 jonathan kaolin hn org--2005/rhythmbox--remote--0.9--patch-{1,3,4,5}

if you want to try applying them to an existing source tree.
Other patches in those branches are merges and so on, likely to be
already applied to any current source tree.  This set of patches applies
cleanly to Christophe's playbin branch, and should work properly with
the play queue, but I haven't tested that.

enjoy,
