There was a discussion on this on-list recently; see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/rhythmbox-devel/2006-December/msg00018.html seq.

Although, I find the Rhythmbox-dbus API even better
than this list( so I am going to try to add all the
good points of Rhythmbox-dbus interface and methods to
this list, isn't it a good idea?).

Sure, go for it.

Moreover, wouldnot it be nicer if there is a Dbus
Signal called "VolumeChanged" when a user changes
volume level? I am interested in the messages on
dbus-monitor.

Additionally, wouldnot it be nicer if rhythmbox also
had a mute button on it, emitting along with it a
signal called "MuteOn" on dbus-monitor.

What's the use case for this? I can see that a music player control applet would want to track and change the volume, but when would the user want to mute Rhythmbox as opposed to the whole computer?
