Bug 319777

Everytime a song changes in _______ (fill in your favorite player) 'Now Playing' will change your status to Available - "Now listening to...." and in all open chats a new "You are now marked as available" status message appears. This is quite annoying when you are talking to someone, since it gives you no useful information at all and makes the conversation harder to read.

I have two different ideas, I'd like to hear from you which one you think is better:

1) Don't show status change message when the presence type has not changed. That is if you go from Available to Available (because status message has changed), nothing will be displayed.

2) Include your presence status text in the message. Instead of "You are now marked as available" it would say "You are now marked as available - Listening to Foo by Bar from album FooBar Fighters" or "You are now marked as busy - Please leave me alone". This does not solve the fact that your conversation is spammed by status change messages, but at least you know what's happening (and as a bonus you don't have to open the player to see the name of the song :-D )

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable 'Now Playing'
2. Start chat with someone in text-ui
3. Switch songs few times in a player
Actual Results:  
You see lots of "You are now marked as available" status messages

Expected Results:  
You either see nothing, or you see "You are now marked as available - Listening to...." messages
