Can someone confirm that http-redirects to e.g. mms or whatever are even
valid?
Even if, I very much dislike it, it means that a web site could redirect
to e.g. cdda:// or other local URLs that can cause your PC to do all
kinds of unexpected things.
At the very least Roberto's -playlist patch should be applied and used
here as well.
