[Banshee-List] no description column for podcasts

[Florin Andrei <florin andrei myip org>]

The only thing that currently prevents me from using Banshee as a 
podcast aggregator instead of Gpodder is the lack of a Description 
column when listing the files in a podcast channel. There are only a 
Title and a Date columns (the Podcast column is somewhat redundant with 
the info presented in the area above).

See how Gpodder does it:

http://gpodder.berlios.de/releases/0.9.0/gpodder-0.9.0-new.png

I am aware that providing this info may not be consistent with other 
types of media (MP3 files, CDs) which may lack this attribute. Still, 
it's very useful to have this info when looking at a channel. I would 
argue that it is a crucial feature in any modern podcast reader.

Oh, and while I'm posting here, another thing, definitely not as 
important, it's more of a bling factor, but still: Gpodder can download 
and display the cover icon next to each channel. See the screenshot 
above. It's not a crucial feature, but it allows for easier reading of 
the list of channels.
