If you don't know the API the application uses, you can't speak with it anyway. D-bus or not. If you want to talk to an entirely separate application, use a header for that application with its IPC/RPC functions defined in it. That's the same thing you'd do with or without D-bus. All D-bus gets you is an official version of the header I spoke of. Along with so much overhead that you can't use it for any kind of media streaming, apparently. And now they want kdbus; and I definitely don't want their code in my BSD kernel.
