Harald, can you do it once again please?
I have this evening (= now) done some plug/unplug load testing, and 
found an ugly race condition for unplugging. Signals still rush in when 
I am tearing down the control asynchronously, which can lead to crashes 
(also in kmixd => kded). If this isn't bad enough, on crashes during 
communication lockups could theoretically also follow.

Hopefully that was the last change. I have done lots of play, pause, 
volume change, plug, unplug, quick replugs (manually and automated) and 
it seems to work fine now. I really had not anticipated the complexity 
and trouble it caused when adding MPRIS2 support.

Thanks to everybody involved.
