Yesterday I did some work for the XMMS2 Debian packages. Thereby I noticed that libxmmsclient0, the xmms2 client library, that allows you to write your own xmms2 clients, is bound to quite a lot of languages, but perl bindings were still missing.

I took a look at the library interface and it seemed that creating bindings shouldn't be a big deal. Therefor I gave a try and wrote Audio::XMMSClient.

There are still some rough edges, but it works pretty well already. The interface is quite close to the C API, so it's possible to work with it even if documentation, examples and a test suite are still missing.

Comments on the API, the namespace and whether this module should go into the xmms2 distribution, like other language bindings, or directly to CPAN are most welcome.
