Feel free to send that.  I try to keep the code compatible with XEmacs.

Nifty!  Would you be willing to sign a copyright assignment to the FSF
for these changes to EMMS, so that we can use your code in future
releases of EMMS?  I will send you the assignment template in a separate
off-list message.

Interesting.  I didn't know that the MPD developers were working on
something like that.  I made and maintain emms-player-mpd.el, and would
be happy to apply such a change once this feature is in an MPD release
(or alternatively, to make the change configurable so that things work
for both stable MPD releases and the latest bleeding edge MPD).
