MP3 player support

[Tyler Aviss]

I've been seeing this a lot lately, and I have to ask:

What's with later-version apps having the features ripped out (and
then reimplemented) that used to be supported? A lot of the newer KDE4
stuff seems that way. Was this because the apps were completely
rewritten, because of some bug in the way the feature was implemented,
or an incompatability of some sort.

It seems quite odd to me that things would be removed in a later
release and then re-added in this manner. Anyone know the reasoning?
