There actually already is stuff in the xmms2 api for handling
prepare-less mainloops, so it should be possible to do in a quite clean way.

Just a little teaser;

Well, my osdmain already have a "Music playlist" entry in the main menu,
which shows the playlist from xmms2, and updates it correctly when other
clients change it. It also shows the currently playing song in the
statusbar (I did this change to the statusbar:
http://people.0x63.nu/~andersg/statusbar.patch.txt do you think that is
a good idea? To let different stuff write to it. I was thinking about
adding some kind of timeout, so it would be possible to say "show this
text for 20 seconds". Is there other components that could be interested
in showing status, so it would be worthwhile? )

But the communication with xmms2 depends on a better mainloop. So as
soon as that has been resolved I can start feeding more fun patches.

Hopefully I will have time to look into the mainloop stuff sometime
during the next few days.
