Interesting and a nice new approach for finding podcasts. Is there a
way to differentiate from audio and video? Will the plugin be able to
determine this or be able to play the audio without the video? Last I
knew Banshee had no plans to do video stuff.

I'm looking forward to OPML support. Then I could keep synced between
GoogleReader, banshee and Digg. That probably matters more to me since
I don't have an iPod. I listen to most of my podcasts through
GoogleReader at this point because of the ability to access it from
any good web connection.
