I've ditched the property change signals in favour of the new D-Bus 
standard.  I've ditched the capabilities stuff in favour of booleans and 
optional properties (where getting a NotSupported error when you try to 
access a property tells you that it's not implemented).  Times are all 
in microseconds.  AdjustVolume is gone.

The playlist stuff is the most drastic, and it has impinged on the 
Player interface (note that Metadata has been replaced with CurrentItem, 
which is a map of properties but possibly should just be a reference to 
the MediaItem).  Currently, there is only the concept of a current 
playlist.  There is no mechanism to list other playlists - I'm not sure 
where exactly to put that.  Do we want to expose a hierarchy, like 
MediaServer2, or a flat list (in which case it should be done with a 
PlaylistCount property, a ListPlaylists method and a PlaylistsChanged 
signal)?

Let me know your thoughts.
