Public bug reported:

indicator-sound checks for playlists once when the player interface
becomes available but after that does not listen for ANY Property
changes or the PlaylistChanged Signal(correctly at least if it tries,
it's doing it wrong. I have not read the source code).

This leads to players that don't immediately have playlists available on
interface creation not having playlists displayed. This also leaves
players no way to update the playlists even if they are present. The
effect then is that new playlists are not added to the list and
playlists that have been renamed are not updated in the sound menu's
playlist list.

indicator-sound should listen for all Property changes and the
PlaylistChanged Signal.

For a working implementation see https://github.com/eonpatapon/gnome-
shell-extensions-mediaplayer

This effects all versions of this package that has MPRIS Playlist
support.
