Comment 6 for bug 588858

I tried to implement the Application Indicator for exaile and after quite a lot of struggling have abandoned that branch, while I was working on it I really started to see how the sound menu indicator seemed like much more of a good idea.

I started implementing the mpris 2 interface for exaile and have gotten quite far, I've attached a screenshot displaying current progress.

Most of the functions have been implemented besides off the top of my head the open uri and album cover location as I don't think exaile exposes the location in its api so I set the cover to the nocover image in the mean time.

Currently clearing the track does not work and for the item to be registered in the Sound menu you have to have a /usr/share/applications/exaile.desktop Desktop properties file, which you will have if you have installed exaile from a repository
