> clearly a desktop manager feature

I don't think it is clear; many players and applications have implemented a feature like this. I don't think it is reasonable to suggest a user change their desktop environment (especially in the case of Windows users) just for a simple thing like this.

I had in mind the function that Audacious has, but not necessarily the metadata/player aspects. Audacious seems to use GTK to achieve this:

And works even when I have the MPRIS 2 server plugin disabled (maybe not the same thing as the dbus interface?)
