I agree on these

I'm not sure how useful this whould be, this is the kind of info you'll find
in the messages window.

This is a perfectly valid point and should deffinitly be investigated. There
is some work going on on the internal playlist api in vlc, and I doubt this
will be fixed before the new api is done.

Another good idea. Another solution may be to have plugins that can be
enabled/disabled.

The core work is done, but the gtk interface is not updated to display this
info.

The core work for these are also done, just need to update all the
interfaces and video outputs. (there are a volume slider in the preferences
dialog in the gtk interface).

Thanks for the feed back!
