Meanwhile I noticed that you are the author of the playlist code in vlc! 
So you must
understand things very well. I did a search for intf-change (in the 
object p_playlist)  and
got a nice list of files. It seems to me that indeed at these places one 
should increment the
proposed "serial" variable. Does this seem reasonable to you?
