[emms-help] Poll: Remove playablep method from players? (Was: Re: make emms-player-start cycle players)

[Jorgen Schaefer]

Hello everyone.
This was a requested feature a few times now, so I ask people
whether we want this.

Idea:

  We remove the `playablep' method from all players. The `start'
  method then should do both of the jobs of `playablep' and
  `start', by returning nil when it could not start a song, or t
  when it could do so. Also, there'll be a new callback
  `emms-player-failed' which will be called when the player
  could not play the song, though it tried.

This might complicate the implementation of players. Also, it will
complicate emms.el since it has to store the not-yet-tried
players.

Opinions?

Regards,
        -- Jorgen
