make Decibel interact with Pidgin-musictracker

[Ananda]

It would be great if you could make Decibel interact with the Pidgin Music Tracker plugin. The website for it is here:

http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-musictracker/

I don't know if this will require some work from the plugin's authors so I'm going to submit a feature request there too.

Here's some more information on why I'd like this implemented. Decibel's now playing function works by updating the global status message in Pidgin. If you change this manually to reflect something e.g. 'I'm away from my desk' then this replaces the now playing status. When the track changes Decibel then changes your custom status to message to now playing so 'I'm away from my desk' changes to the current track. I think for Pidgin at least using the musictracker plugin would be a cleaner way of setting the now playing track as it would allow now playing and custom status messages to coexist.

Apparently, decibel has MPRIS support since decibel 1.05, so this should now work.
