I use some passwords to differantiate clients:
password "son...@read,add,control,admin"
password "keybo...@read,add,control,admin"

When I see the log file, it just contains some errors. I can't see what
song is played, stopped ...

Concerning the protocol, the complexity added is small.
Instead of respond "player" to an idle command, we will respond for example
player origin_cmd origin_client
where
origin_cmd could be "playid 63" or "next"
origin_client could be "sonata" or "keyboard" considering my conf file.
Then, a status client (task bar for example) is trivial, it can easily
update its status by running idle command and print the result.
However, I think the complexity added is in the code. Because the player
and the command parser are really independents.
The purpose of my application is not very useful for you, because, I
doesn't directly concern MPD. So, just some words about it.
I'm making a daemon such as IMMS (http://imms.luminal.org/). For several
reasons, I've begun from scratch a new daemon. Like IMMS, I would like
an player independent program, even if it will be possible to use it as
a library.
I use an alpha version since two years ago ... and I can exactly know
what songs I have played/stopped/seeked (70 000 events).
By this file, I will be able to generate a profil of me, to know
dependencies between songs, to know what songs I've never heard, and more.
I would like to have a player that "knows me".
