Playlist parsing is considered application functionality. Totem provides a library for this. Other applications also have their own code. GStreamer does not currently include any playlist parsing functionality.

I tend to mark this as NOTGNOME. We may want to add this later on, but right now, we consider playlist handling an application responsibility.
