LXMusic in master branch leverages this functionality to display album art in desktop notifications if available: Please test!

• Use XMMS2 Collection API
• Translation updates

By using Collection API, performance improved dramatically on large
play lists. Loading time for 3030 entries  reduced from 7 to 0.5 seconds on a Core 2 Duo T6500 system.

Please help to advance LXDE development and test releases, help with translations and update the wiki.

The most important changes:

• fix all gcc compilation warnings
  LXMusic can be compiled using  CFLAGS “-Wall -Werror”
• on_playlist_content_received
  Request medialib info for whole playlist at once instead of requesting and updating each track successive. This improves speed for loading whole playlist a lot because we get rid of a lot of context switches between lxmusic and xmms2d.
• on_playlist_content_received
  Use gtk_list_store_insert_with_values. This single call is is more efficient on large playlists than calling gtk_list_store_append and gtk_list_store_set (which emits also row_changed and rows_reordered signals).
• fix memory leak
  Previously playlist model/filter not freed when switching playlist.
• Get rid of xmmsv_propdict_to_dict and thus of a lot of intermediate propdicts allocated on the heap
  According to Google perftools this reduces heap usage from 24MB to 2MB when loading a 4000-track play-list!
