Spotube uses incorrect values for MPRIS position property

[AlephNought0]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Spotube currently uses QVariant(qlonglong) for position property which makes it unable to fetch the proper position of the current playing media on Spotube.

Expected Behavior

Spotube should send the value of the property according to the freedesktop specifications. Mpris:Position is not a variant. See more here.
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/Player_Interface.html#Property:Position

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Spotube
2. Try fetching Mpris position property from Spotube using playerctl or other means.
3. The returned value does not reflect the actual position of the media

Operating System

That's a great finding. I think we've to just change the datatype to Time_in_Us

Actually, we are using a library audio_service_mpris that implements the DBus interface for MediaPlayer2. So, it was sending the wrong types. Now, they've updated to freedesktop specifications. So it's just simple library update.
