If I understood it correctly it's a simplification of the UI,
eliminating the dedicated stream mode in favor of re-utilizing (and
therefore generalizing) the playlist mode for that task.  Having no loss
of features, I think that's a good idea, in general.  A more elegant
solution, perhaps.

By the way what are the stream-capable players that EMMS supports out of
the box?  I ask because I'm running it on the OpenBSD 6.5's Loongson
port in a Lemote Yeeloong, and it seems that every player I tried from
the ports tree gave me segmentation fault while trying to play over the
network.  I've tried `mpv', `mplayer' and `vlc'.  I'm looking for
alternatives until I can sort that out (consulting with the OpenBSD and
the respective player's communities).  Is there any other player I could
try?
