You're forced (!) to use the Maemo5 frameworks and APIs to get around that, and those usually perform poorly and don't have useful documentation, either.
Policy framework things are coming to MeeGo, too, which puts a burden on applications to state what kind of activities they're doing.. Such as media player behaviour or dialer ringtone, determining device behaviour and priorities in certain situations.. It's kinda needed for any kind of sane behaviour.

We'll have a open policy for you to rewrite, AFAIK.
