So there is actually no D-Bus interface yet, only the one which looks similar 
to a D-Bus interface, i.e the one at 
http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/index.php/MPRIS

I strongly recommend to tidy up this mess before basing any work on it you 
expect to actually maintain (i.e. before introducting it as a broken de-facto 
standard)

Cheers,
Kevin
