Another thought.  A lot of the time BBC doesn't have current track info
so what does MAI  do then ?

Would it be better to have an API for MAI (e.g. a  few variables on the
playing song object plugindata hash) for co-operating plugins to supply
"cleaner" data - than the merged ones created to fit displays.

An example of such co-operation - the Tune-in search will add in "hls"
to the search parameters if it see "hls" as a supported type.  The "hls"
type is only added to LMS when plugin has added support for it.
