I don't understand the hate in this thread. There is really no need for people who want this feature to justify *why* they want it. It is obviously useful in a variety of situations. I imagine the problem is that the coders are not personally interested (after all, we're not *paying* them), and/or they aren't sure how they would integrate the feature into the GUI in a simple way. VLC may help here, being generally awesome, but a train-wreck from a UI standpoint. I'd work on this myself if I had the time, but if it is true that the maintainers are fundamentally opposed to it (which I can't imagine), it may be a waste of time if they refuse the code.
