Actually I was trying to hack the modeline by myself because mingus.el
(that I use all the time) didn't seem to use the way its documentation
advertised. I posted a message on the github forum
(https://github.com/pft/mingus/issues/8) and this problem has been
swiftly fixed by the author.

All of you running mingus, try to the "song" branch.

Julien.
