That would rock if we could know when some metadata has become available
for an input.

The current way is to use "meta-preparsed" variable created & set by the
input, USING A FLAG SET BY THE PLAYLIST.

If metadata has been read BEFORE being preparsed by the playlist (for
example if we have a very long playlist) that fails.

I propose to set the *input*'s "meta-preparsed" variable in the demuxers
after "meta reader" module has been called, or directly in "meta reader"
modules (i prefer that last one).

Fenrir wasn't ok, see
http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2007-October/035339.html
but input is the direct parent of demuxer, so that would not be very
time consuming, nor difficult to maintain if well documented.
