basically a media_list_path points to an item in the media_list  
hierarchy. (Given that a media_list's item is a media_descriptor and  
that a media_descriptor's subitems is a media_list).

Yes, if I recall well.

Yes.

Yes.

Please note that the libvlc_media_list_player was designed before the  
media_list_view, and I think we need indeed to read a media_list_view  
rather than a media_list internally.
