Well, nothing stops any of these music players to implement this themselves,
esp. given that most of these players do some sort of playlist parsing/handling
already. A few years back I wrote a music player for GStreamer-0.8 that handled
these perfectly (that's why I wrote it actually), and it wasn't that much
effort, so I don't see why rb or cowplayer can't do that as well if they really
want to.

(This is not to say that this is not a useful feature to get into GStreamer,
but there's no need to block on this. And it's important to get the API right
IMO).
