[coherence-dev] iuRadio plugin - why do we retrieve all playlist item?

Hi all,
I am currently toying with the iRadio backend, trying to improve.
It's right to say it is not so stable, but I feel it is more a problem 
with the shoutcast server than anything else.

Each shoutcast item is actually  a single-entry playlist item 
(audio/x-scpls). But, the backend actually retrieves all playlists for 
each given genre and extract the url within, instead of just proxying 
the playlist file. Does anyone know why it is that way?
a player can normally play the playlist item directly (at least, vlc can).

Regards,
Jean-Michel
