Another change needed is to add a regexp to the player so that
(emms-player-get emms-player-mpv 'regex) will return a useful value that
emms-source-file-regex can use.

Among other things this breaks is that the various
emms-add-... functions will add files that the player doesn't know how
to play. For instance, jpegs that litter album directories will start
showing up in the playlists, etc.

Adding this:

(apply #'emms-player-simple-regexp emms-player-base-format-list)

...is typically what we start with.
