it would be nice to have a "now playing"-button/shortcut in jabber, that parses some file or the output of a programm and prints it into the chat window. it would also be nice if the place where it takes it's input from could be customized... many programs that feature "now playing" rely on a specific program, like xmms or noatun or or or....
I have no .sig and I must scream.

Well, I think that's something for a plugin - so you should wait for plugins with that. I'm sure a XMMS Plugin will come. Ready files isn't a good way - what is if you closed the player? Then the file still exists.
Btw, what types of plugins would be possible? Only C or C++ Plugins or Perl and so on? I prefer C/C++ Plugins :-p

Plugins are of the C++ variety.
I'm very tempted to write a scripting plugin though, so small python scripts could be written

It's not the same idea, but it's speaking of sound too.
As i'm an esd user, I've amplified the psi defaults sounds cauze I thought it wasn't loud enough when playing a music at the same time.
I've noted that when I make the volume vary from 0 to 100, the psi sounds was still at the same volume, so what about a possibility to set psi volume :) (i haven't found anything in esdplay man)

Ok ok, psi is not a multimedia player, do you think it's something hardcore to implement ?

I think psi uses 'play' to play sounds, I guess you should change this to something appropriate for your sound system, and then set the volume of that?

FWIW, by the time Psi has a plugin API, JEP-0118: User Tunes might be ready for implementation.  The way this would work with Psi is that someone would write a plugin to grab music metadata from XMMS, and second plugin for Winamp, a third for parsing files, etc.  Each of these plugins would then tell Psi to send something like this to the server:
<iq type='set'
    from='stpeter@jabber.org/work'
    to='pubsub.jabber.org'
    id='tunes123'>
  <pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub'>
    <publish node='generic/tunes/stpeter@jabber.org'>
      <item id='current'>
        <tune xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/tune'>
          <artist>Yes</artist>
          <title>Heart of the Sunrise</title>
          <source>Yessongs</source>
          <track>3</track>
          <length>PT11M26S</length>
        </tune>
      </item>
    </publish>
  </pubsub>
</iq>

And that information is then sent to all who subscribe to this pubsub node.  The destination client would determine how this information is displayed.  For example Psi might support displaying User Tunes as a popup notification:
halr9000 is now listening to
"100 Years" by Five for Fighting

And it might also display in the user status information.

 And the plugin might have other features, like copying data to clipboard, writing to a file, inserting text into HTML and ftp'ing to your website, send XML using Blogger API to your blog, etc, etc, etc.

Not in a usable way, no. It will be implemented when the SPPS spec is finished and implemented in Psi.

I was already looking into that JEP and busy with trying to write a patch for it, but because of being a bit busy it hasn't come from the ground yet and maybe it is better to wait for a full implementation when the plug-in system is ready.

Sounds like a good idea ;-)
For what it's worth: the code for listening to XMMS, iTunes and WinAmp is ready, and i will be releasing it soon, so there's no need to write that either. Implementing the SPPS spec is something we plan to do ourselves, and as a test case, we will be using the User Tune JEP (because it's simple). So i guess there's no need for input on this one.

hehe, that was actually the first intention. It was something to learn a bit more of c++ and using it in Qt (and applying it in psi)
