None that I can think of, unless we move to emms-plr-... or something,
which isn't a huge improvement; I think that players should have their
own namespace.

I've always kind of visually "tuned out" the long names. I guess I could
also write up some code to abbreviate the display of these names on the
Emacs-level.

What do other people think of this?

That is exactly why we throw stuff into master; we can't fix it until we
know it's broken (people who want stability now have the mpv-enable 5.0
release.)
