Playlist loading

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load a large playlist from a .pls file
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The playlist should be loaded and playback should start immediately.
Instead all items are processed as if they were added to the playlist for
the first time. This is extremely annoying with large playlists as the
processing of all files can take a lot of time.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gnome-mplayer 0.9.7 (latest svn checkout at the time of writing) on Fedora
11 x86_64.

Please provide any additional information below.
If a playlist is loaded from a .pls file gnome-mplayer should just assume
that the files exists and start playback immediately. Non existing files
can simply be skipped (maybe with some kind of warning output). Loading of
tags (if necessary) should be done in the background.

Changing this to an Enhancement. I have been thinking about this for a couple of
weeks, but so far don't have an exact plan of what I need to do. I know I want 
to
make the meta data loading in a thread, but unsure what is needed yet and 
haven't had
the time. Might be in 0.9.8

Ok, I got this working in SVN now, decreases the time to load large playlists. 
Still
not superfast, but much better.
