imho that parse_playtree() thingie should have a parameter like 'int
forced', set to 1 if called with -playlist, and set to 0 if called after
demuxers failed. it shouldn't try unreliable parsers (like the stupid
plaintext-list) for force==0.

also the other parsers should be reviewed and more sanity checks added.

ok the patch looks clean.
(as clean as a patch for this mess can be :))
