I've push out two extra patches for emms-player-vlc.el today (playlists
and relative seeking).

I'll be using emms-player-vlc.el now for Emms (because I like vlc better
than mplayer, and too see if it is buggy).

I had noticed that it takes longer to start, but it doesn't bother
me. There is a way around the delay, but it means breaking the way Emms
normally interfaces with local players.
