Came back from the trip and started working full-time again. Accomplishments:
* AudioPlayer-control works. Segfaults removed, interface improved.
* BoomBox is born: a desklet to test the functionality of the audioplayer. Screenshot here.
* Now I'll move on to writing the beagle control (might be difficult, 'cos I can't find any docs)

And from now on I'll write the weekly report each sunday
