pbmpcd - python bemused music player client daemon

  pbmpcd connects the music player daemon (mpd) with a bemused client.

  you need a working python-bluetooth installation and, of course,
  a bluetooth device that runs a bemused app (e.g. a cellphone).

  pbmpcd is licensed under terms of the
  GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, Version 2, June 1991.

  pbmpcd is developed with the JamSE midlet by Winfried Klum,
  the Symbian client is reported to work, others MAY work too.

get JAM SE, an advanced midlet (for SonyEricsson, Nokia and other phones):
  from v1.1 on it works with pbmpcd,
  download it from http://mitglied.lycos.de/jamsoftware/
  from v1.3 on its FREE software
  download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jamse

Changes:
- Mon Nov 19 21:24:23 CET 2007
  to please palm client bamp, pretend to be version 1.73,
  bamp often sends two commands in one packet,
  process them both, not just the first one,
  also answer INF2 commands with INF2ACK,
