Sorry about that. I'm not yet perfectly used to dbus related
terminology, so my use of terms like "Objects" or "Interfaces" may be
inaccurate.

Well, there *is* a contradiction between parts of the draft, as it's
just regrouping different pieces of work that are not yet merged. There
are actually two different draft interfaces on the wiki page, the first
one was initially present on the xmms2 wiki, and the other one is a
merge between VLC and BMPx work.

The project suffers of lack of interest from media players development
teams, so it's really difficult to write a unique specification that
fits with everyone's needs.
