It'd be nice if playbin handled shoutcast stream metadata so applications
playing streams could display the current song title.  rhythmbox can do this
with its old playback pipeline, but it loses that ability when using playbin
instead.

I'll attach a patch that implements this.  It's a hack, but it might be a useful
starting point.  It sets the 'iradio-mode' property on the source element for
HTTP URLs (if it exists; the source element might not be a gnomevfssrc), and
forwards the resulting deep-notify signals from the source element, so you can
get the signal by attaching a signal handler to the playbin element.
