Well, the issue with phonon-VLC is that we have no idea what the final
application name will be.

If I set the name to NULL, the pa tools seem to be clever and find the
name based on the .desktop files (works for Dragon and Amarok)
However for vlc, it doesn't seem to work correctly (maybe my vlc setup
is fucked up?)
