IMHO, the code of libvlc_media_list_player claim to be thread-safe (I
re-read it really quickly and it seems to be true at least for the main
functions) so using the same media_list_player from 2 differents objects
is possible.
For the reason of such usage I think that's up to the user and it makes
the API more consistent (every refcounted object can be created, retained
and released).
