[Bug 1491421] Re: Dbus-plugin does not work right.
** Description changed:
Totem's DBus-plugin may have a bug. I try to control the Totem-player
from Audio-Recorder. Audio-recorder does see the player on the DBus but
Totem does not reply requests.
- This same bug was reported last year too. And year before. Now this annoying bug is back!

BTW: I can see in the Audio-recorder (when debugging) that Totems sends
some DBus-messages repeatedly. Audio-recorder gets mad by receiving 20
STOP, START, PAUSE, START, STOP, PAUSE, STOP... messages. I programmed
a special workaround for Totem in Audio-Recorder.
