Using properties is good, it allow interfacing with the osd menu (and the
GUI perhaps someday). However the commands are indeed useless, one can
just send a set_property command instead. All those commands directly
mapping to properties are there for backward compatibility. Idealy
they should just be removed but currently it would probably break many
frontends.
