Re: suggestion: unified media player control panel applet

A GNOME Multimedia centric LIRC handler is also very close to what is 
trying to be achieved here; having a single interface (the remote) for 
controlling multiple players. I know from following the Rhythmbox 
development mailing list, Rhythmbox specific LIRC patches have been 
rejected in favour of the DBUS/bonobo interface been invoked by a 
seperate LIRC handler.

I dont know if there is already but there may be an exisitng GNOME LIRC 
project, i.e. [1] but this appears to be very dead. If a similar project 
does exist it could at least provide some ideas if not provide most of 
the exisiting functionality.
