Mediascanner2 does not index appstore apps' contents. It only deals with
public information in ~/Music ~/Videos and mounted drives. It has
nothing to do with the playback path, that is dealt entirely by media
hub/music app.

There are three ways of accessing Mediascanner's stored data:

1. issue a scope query
2. use Mediascanner's Qml plugin
3. use libmediascanner (not recommended for most apps)

#2 is implemented using #3.

The only requirement to accessing data via 2 or 3 is to be able to have
read-only access to ~/.cache/mediascanner-2.0/.

Mediascanner 2's scanner daemon of course needs write access to that
directory as well as read rights to the directories that are to be
scanned.

To me as non-security-specialist this seems to fullfill the requirements
listed in the issue. If there's something I missed, please let me know.
