In current svn this is available in p_playlist->status.p_item->input.psz_uri
I'm not sure if this is the best way to get it though. Also note that p_item
may not allways be available, so you should lock the playlist before looking
there.

It should also be possible to get notification when current item changes, by
using the appropriate variables.
