What kind of API is this at the moment? I looked through CVS and the API
seems to be a set of PHP scripts IIRC? How are these meant to be
accessed by some application written in, say, C++?

We currently have abstract functions for things like "get available
views", returning e.g. "Interprete/Album/Title" or
"Year/Genre/Interprete/Track". Then functions to traverse the tree of a
view node by node, like "get tracks for current node" and "get children
nodes". Finally there are playlist management functions like "add node
to playlist" or "get available playlist". Is this kind of the level the
API has or will have? Then it would probably be easy to hook up the two
things.

Tried to meet you there, but seems difficult. I'll keep on trying.
