+"""Displays the current song being played in DeaDBeeF and provides
+some media control bindings.
+Left click toggles pause, scroll up skips the current song, scroll
+down returns to the previous song.
+
+Requires the following library:
+    * subprocess
+Parameters:
+    * deadbeef.format:    Format string (defaults to "{artist} - {title}")
+                          Available values are: {artist}, {title}, {album}, {length},
+                                                {trackno}, {year}, {comment},
+                                                {copyright}, {time}
+                          This is deprecated, but much simpler.
+    * deadbeef.tf_format: A foobar2000 title formatting-style format string.
+                          These can be much more sophisticated than the standard
+                          format strings. This is off by default, but specifying
+                          any tf_format will enable it. If both deadbeef.format
+                          and deadbeef.tf_format are specified, deadbeef.tf_format
+                          takes priority.
+    * deadbeef.tf_format_if_stopped: Controls whether or not the tf_format format
+                          string should be displayed even if no song is paused or
+                          playing. This could be useful if you want to implement
+                          your own stop strings with the built in logic. Any non-
+                          null value will enable this (by default the module will
+                          hide itself when the player is stopped).
+    * deadbeef.previous:  Change binding for previous song (default is left click)
+    * deadbeef.next:      Change binding for next song (default is right click)
+    * deadbeef.pause:     Change binding for toggling pause (default is middle click)
+    Available options for deadbeef.previous, deadbeef.next and deadbeef.pause are:
+        LEFT_CLICK, RIGHT_CLICK, MIDDLE_CLICK, SCROLL_UP, SCROLL_DOWN
