The way Banshee treats them currently, it does try to keep them
separate *in the interface* using magical code, but the files
themselves are downloaded into the main library directory (I believe
videos are handled the same way). I think a lot of people would prefer
to have them stored outside of the main library folder. There are some
podcasts that I could see wanting to import into the main library
(KCRW's "Top Tune of the Day" as an example, where the podcast is a
single song) but they are the exception, and they could easily be
handled using the standard "Import" functionality.
