Hi,
Please find attached gmpc-plugin-coveramazon-0.14.0.ebuild.
This plugin fetches cover art, and album information from amazon.
gmpc-0.14 is needed.

It's trivial to adapt this ebuild to other plugins for gmpc.
If this one is ok, I will send them later.

The issue here is that I am not sure if I want to fill the ebuild tree with
bunch of new packages. I am thinking of sticking them into an overlay somewhere
instead.

See, I could decide to just put 2-3 selected gmpc plugins in the tree, but then
I'd be easy target for "plugin X is in the tree, why can't plugin Y be there as
well?" requests.

I see the problem,
I don't know the process to add an ebuild in an overlay. As I understand, each
overlay has different rules about that, and the most appropriate overlay for
gmpc's plugins (Sound) doesn't have any documentation.

Do you want me to send other ebuilds here, create a new bug for each or do
nothing ?

Looks like the Sound overlay is even empty. Furthermore, I wasn't able to find
any organized movement to offload dozens of plugin ebuilds from main tree to
overlays, so I assume there is none.

I'm inclined to just add gmpc plugins to main tree's media-plugins so there's
even more plugins in the tree, so people will be more inclined to do something
about it (unfortunately, I do not have time to work on a complete solution via
overlays).

Send the ebuilds in at your convenience (attach to this bug), I'll try to add
them today or tomorrow.

Improved ebuild

I have checked your ebuild, and made improvements in this one.

Actually, no need to send anything - all available plugins are in the tree now.
