The mpris v1 did lack the relevant signals, now they are in the spec
and they are mentioned where they are relevant.
I think that the spec makes the correct behavior clear enough now.

Moreover, bindings will probably manage the property change signaling
stuff automatically soon (afaik, gdbus already does), so using signals
instead of manual polling will look very natural.
