The ID is all I need for now, but if a new API is to be added, I guess it should expose more than the ID.
And indeed I would rather avoid using deprecated features (smem).

So, wrt. adding the proper callback to the LibVLC API -- while I am not that familiar with the VLC internals, I am willing to give it a try.
Would you mind sketching out the API you would recommend? Any pointer to previous work? Thanks.
