Description

Hi there, first of all thanks for this program!

I've been using it for quite some time but there have unfortunately been some changes in KDE Plasma,(since 5.16.4) resulting in its media applet no longer connecting to Audacious. This means, among other things, media keys no longer work.

As per KDE developer: "Audacious doesn't implement MPRIS correctly. It lacks the SupportedUriSchemes and SupportedMimeTypes properties on the MediaPlayer interface which are mandatory.

This update made media controller more strict about following the spec to guard plasma against fishy DBus traffic. We've had plasmashell crash in the past by players sending incorrect replies (e.g. string-string dict instead of string-variant dict, triggering asserts in libdbus). Sorry about that." 

Would it be possible to implement the changes he mentioned?
