Sorry for the very late reply, I am finally getting around to looking
into this, almost six months later. I read this page, but it really
doesn't tell me what I need to know. What I want to do is replace my
DCOP remote control script with something that works for Amarok 2.2 .
What I had was this:

#!/bin/bash
dcop --user greg amarok player $*

This meant I could just do

$ ssh musicmachine scriptname pause

from any other machine in the house, and it would pause the music. This
is the kind of thing I want to do. While the methods and XML syntax are
described on the above web page, nowhere does it tell me how to actually
use it to control Amarok. Anywhere I can find info on that?

Thanks,
--Greg
