SubAir Notify Songs on Ubuntu

[Kirk]

I have a suggestion for the SubAir client. I don't know much about Adobe Air programming, so I don't really know what's possible, but I assume it should be able to figure out through some global variable what type of operating system it's on...

Last week, I saw someone playing Pandora on a Mac OS X machine, and when each new song started, a little popup showed on the upper right corner with the album art, and the artist and title of the song. I was so impressed until I remembered that Ubuntu had the same thing, just that none of my media would do anything like that because I normally use SubAir or the web interface of Subsonic.

I can say, if SubAir could do that using Ubuntu's notification system that's already in place, I'd definitely use it over the web interface all the time.

I'm not sure what the programming possibility is with a graphic in that notification box (the album art) and with actually accessing it through Adobe Air, but given what I know about Ubuntu and programming in general, I see no reason why it wouldn't be doable and I think it would be really cool.

I am referring to these things.

I'm sure that myself and my team of Linux geeks could probably figure out how to easily make those little dialog boxes...

I would appreciate any insight from the developer or feedback from the community.

Thanks

I was doing a little bit of reading tonight to see how much this would require... and this page is very informative.
