Ah, thanks a lot !
Hopefully, the mpris is going to be given some love very soon and I'll
be glad to help you make libmpris reflect the changes made in the
spec.

Awesome, I didn't finish my work on this and I assumed that no one was using it.

Yes, and it would help to set up a little bit of infrastructure (like
a bugtracker and maybe distro packages)
Would you like to keep the maintainership of this project ?

Nice :)

It would add significant dependencies that are very large compared to
the size of the lib and it would mean a major rewrite. However, it's
not necessarily a bad thing, especially if the result is several
orders of magnitude more maintainable.
