Right !

So i'll need a dbus method like
PlayFiltered(string: filter) -> void

The method would:
* See if the filter leaves any matches
* If yes
	- Stop the currently playing
	- Switch to library view
	- Start playing the filtered list
	- Present the ui ?
* If not, rhythmbox continues playing whatever it was playing, and the 
method does nothing.

Sounds good ?
