HI,

I would like to add support for the Cinnamon (Linux Mint) sound
applet, so I can show CD Cover and use the command buttons.
I do not find the right information on how to implement the needed
code in Lazarus.

I do not use Cinnamon but i think that, as in others DM, sound applet
uses the MPRIS D-BUS Interface
http://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/

FPC D-BUS implementation is very low lovel and quite hard to use.

You could look at the MPRIS2 code i've written for OvoPlayer: https://

Hi Varianus,

Thanks. I will take a good look at your code and try to implement it
in my code (https://sourceforge.net/p/xixmusicplayer/svn/HEAD/tree/)
I like your idea of using different audio engines too.  Nice work.
