isn't this the most fundamental question in this whole thread?
are we actually going to have the audio indicator merged with the music
player indicator into a new "audio" indicator?

*video* is the obvious purpose of *everything* within the frames of your
display, be it a 10" netbook screen or a HD beamer projection to your
favourite canvas..

*audio* needs to be represented visually, since audible playback is not
always as easily accessible or focused as *video* is for the most of us.

i think, contributing to the "problem description" search in this thread, we
can consider the visual representation of audio itself in our DE as a viable
foundation for further elaboration.
