I would like to do this differently, with target/controller/player
registering themselves to avoid having to blindly emit signals like
this which can no effect at all or loop effect, this should also make
us able to detect if there are multiple entities and address them
properly which is needed for 1.4.

+++++ OK, maybe a readwrite Passthrough property indicating how passthroughs 
are handled: Signal, Uinput, Both, None?  Or simply a PassthruSignal 
property (true/false, default false), given that the presence/absence of 
/dev/uinput handles the other case?

I really think the Control should emit the signal...since it comes from a CT 
(and not really from a MediaPlayer or somesuch).
