Well, there is nothing that prevents >1 music player from being in
kdemultimedia. In fact historically we had multiple players during
most of the 3.x series if I recall correctly. Nowadays kdemultimedia
and applications at large are really just a way to do joint
maintenance and releases, so there is even less worry with regards to
application overlap.

Ah yes, that makes sense.
