mpris2 feature exception

[Conor Curran]

The MPRIS 2 spec was finally agreed upon late Wednesday the 11th of August. As a result all clients (Rhythmbox, Amarok, Banshee and VLC) are currently moving to this new spec. The sound menu is also being updated currently to support this complete overhaul. Time is needed to test against our default player (rhythmbox) and its implementation to ensure a workable release happens.
