The attached patch take care of:
* adding some mplayer options to get the now playing song name
* adding the -playlist option in case the webradio has the streamlist type

I'm not a programmer, so there is certainly room for improvement but
it's basically doing its job.

Two minor things to note though:

* mplayer advises against using the -playlist option for security
  reasons, I guess it shouldn't be used by default and emms should use
  an option allowing the user to decide whether to use it or not.

* The mplayer output for some webradios has two different ICY fields
  (see
  --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   mplayer -ao null -vo null -cache 200 -endpos 0 
http://ouifm5.ice.infomaniak.ch/ouifm2.aac
  --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
  for instance)
  the first one being empty. emms-stream-info-call-backend unfortunately
  picks up the first (empty one). Some modifications should be made so
  that it picks the non empty one.

Regards,

Julien.
