Though, that's exactly what KidsPlay already offers, isn't it? (I didn't
study or use it really, so I may be wrong..)

Hmm. I'll have too look into that more. So far the only rating related
functions I have/use is $track->rating() to read and
$track->rating($rating) to set the rating. OK, there's those "actions" I
offer to configure (rate(), inc(), dec(), toggle()), which to some
extent exist as CLI functions in Ratings Light, too.

Most of the code in my Plugin is for handling the buttons and the web
interface. Unfortunately I didn't find a good way to make use of the
existing IR handling code. (I certainly don't want to edit button.map
files manually...)

Oh, I thought these should work. But I see now (in KidsPlay) that there
is a separate handler that needs to be monkey patched to support that.
I'll have a look. (Main problem: Boom is in the kitchen, dev station and
terminal/log output isn't.. :-)
