Hi Bertrand,

Here is the draft of the v2 spec.
http://www.mpris.org/mirsal/2.0-draft/spec.html

I don't think there are many changes to the basic functionality.
Mirsal is usually on Freenode's #mpris room. AFAIK the V2 final draft is 
imminent.

Sorry for not updating the test harness in the past two weeks. I have 
been concentrating on the indicator. The indicator version 0.3.x uses 
Play() and Pause() which should be fine for v2 compatibility.

Yes this would be advisable, I have not really focused on v2 clients 
just yet as there has not been any really available to me. Will turn my 
attention to this later this week.
