I've gotten this working. As of right now the API SWF will expose
information about the subscription state of the user. For privacy reasons
user identifiable info (username, key, real name, etc) isn't available. The
ready() callback now gets a single argument which is null if the user isn't
signed into Rdio, or if it is an Rdio user, an object containing the
following keys:
- isTrial - boolean, is the user in a trial
- isSubscriber - boolean, is the user a subscriber
- isUnlimited - boolean, does the user have rights to stream on mobile
devices
- inFreeLimited - boolean, is the user an Rdio free user
- freeLimitedRemaining - integer, the percentage of free plays remaining
for a user - ignore if inFreeLimited is false
