I'm probably just too stupid, but I don't see the point of those, or
what would change, as the problem is that
playlist_ServicesDiscoveryAdd() will be called with 2 different
strings anyway, since the interface will use the formatted one we
already discussed, and the cmd-line will set the configuration on it's
own and passing just the module name...
