You can regsiter to a screen change like the idlebar to get
information about if a dim animation is running.

The new code should make it easier. Again, you can register to
application changes. By that, you get an event that the audio player
is gone and you see that music is still running.

Take a look at the idlebar. The new event gives you also notification
if the new starting app wants to be fullscreen (video, image) or not
(menu, audio).

I was thinking about using the idlebar. Since you fixed the plugins
(Thanks BTW, I will add it to cvs when I fixed some stuff here), you
know a plugin returns the width it uses. So when no music is playing,
return 0 (you don't draw), when music starts, force an update of the
idlebar, return your needed width and than you can update the audio
status without calling a global idlebar update (just change your gui
objects and call update() for the display).

Bad hack: add events for it. The user can set the events to
buttons. Or you can just create one event and popup a box with the
next choices. Maybe we need more-than-one-key events (like
Emacs). Such as pressing 1 1 makes event x, 1 2 event y. In terms of
code: button 1 chnages the key context for the next button (with a
timeout).

libvisual should draw into a imlib2 image. Than call update().
