mirage shouldn't insert a two entries into the playlist with same artist and title in one playlist generation "step"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

if you've a a song twice in your library mirage may add a song twice and 
even worse directly after each other into the playlist.

Attached is a patch which *may* solve this as I currently cannot compile the 
extension on debian and I'm not familiar with c#.

Thanks for the patch !
I think using the track metadata is not always reliable, and the point of 
Mirage is
that you don't have to.
Mirage implements a distance threshold : if a track is too similar (ie the 
distance
is too low) to one of the tracks used to create the playlist, Mirage will 
ignore that
track.
This parameter is not set by default and is not visible in the UI yet. you can 
set it
in GConf with the following command :
gconftool-2 --set /apps/banshee-1/plugins/mirage/distance_ceiling --type=float 
0.9

A value below 1 usually indicates duplicate tracks.
