I purposedly wrote the directory access such that pf_block reads one item per 
call. That way, the I/O can be interrupted fast. What you describe sounds like 
either a bug whereby the XSPF demuxer lacks pacing, or the user interface 
sucks at updating the playlist view, or both.

I am not very convinced by the fix. You could have thousands of files in a 
single directory as well...
