Ok, figured out a workaround for that call; in case anyone else's having a
similar problem:
----------------------------------------------
        def getvol(self):
                res = self.rc.call("volume()")
                if res.isValid():
                        return ord(res.data.data()[-1])
                else:
                        return None

-----------------------------------------------

Where rc is a DCOPRef object hooked to noatun.

For whatever reason, res.data.data() returns a 4-byte array, so here you
take the last byte.  Am I doing that correctly, or is there a better way?

On to the next problem:
-----------------------------------------------
       def volup(self):
                curvol = int(self.getvol())
                newvol = curvol + 5
                res = self.rc.call("setVolume(%d)" % newvol)
                print "Setvol: ", res.isValid()

-----------------------------------------------
I've tried various mutations of this.  This doesn't work at all. Anybody
know how to do this?

Thanks,
Eric
