i don't think you need to, no...

imho, media players are a different use case from things that are showing a 
changing state. in konversation there is something interesting to you (e.g. 
someone uses your nick in a message) or not; in ktorrent it is downloading 
something or it is not. in a media player, the tray is not really showing 
status but providing a quick interface to the application.

this is a great use case for the "merge application system entries with the 
tasks widget" that we have planned.

i also think that it may make sense to add a media player control interface 
like "Now Playing" to the kmix systray popup since it is an audio issue.
