Of course I want to give you the source files.

You can find the test-source here: http://pastebin.org/65108
I compile it with valac --pkg dbus-glib-1 vlc_test3.vala -g

If you want to test it, you have to install VLC. After that you have to
enable the DBus support of VLC by going to tools->preferences. There you
will find a "show settings" radio button at the bottom left. Set it to All.
Than you go to interface->control interface and check the 'D-Bus control
interface' checkbox. Restart VLC. Now the GetStatus of org.mpris.vlc will
return (2 0 0 0) when the program is running, but not playing.

If you have amarok, it's a little bit easier. Just open amarok and make sure
it isn't playing or pauzed. Than you have to change the org.mpris.vlc to
org.mpris.amarok in my file and you should always get (2 0 0 0) when
accessing GetStatus over DBus.

Happy testing
