There is an updated pull request by ericonr against master on the void-packages repository

https://github.com/ericonr/void-packages player
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/24324

playerctl: update to 2.2.1.
Remove from shlibs, since no package depends on it.

@Duncaen - I can adopt it, if you'd like.

A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/24324.patch is attached
