Media Control Icons and Popup
A simple set of applets that allows you to control media players with awn. There are two ways we can do this: one that displays a popup with album art and controls, and another that just places icons on your awn bar. Both of these solutions uses the same module to handle a decent number of media players. I think there are two essential features that these applets must have; the first is that must use dbus and the second is media application auto detection.
Features of the mediaplayer module(used in both solutions):
> Uses Dbus for speed
> Rhythmbox, Banshee, Exaile, and Listen Support. Totem and VLC coming. Amarok support in trunk.
> The Module supports both albumart and titles; 100% optional
> Module keeps 'art and titles' 100% separate from controls.
> Auto detection of media players
> Possible future support for any player that uses dbus

I have created both of these applets and the standard mediaplayer module and they are hosted here:

The tarballs are stable - as is the trunk. So I hope someone will help by including these applets
