Heh, but I see a different use case for such a plugin (which indeed 
explains why other people don't see it useful they way you think of it): 
just leave Banshee playing in the background if your doing a party.

I've actually tried doing this at home and either you wast too much time 
downloading the videos you want via P2P some weeks before, or you 
finally end up listening to the poor music quality of YouTube. With this 
plugin, you would end up with a big collection of music (if you have it) 
with video-clips incorporated for free (without extra storage space, 
without extra hassle of predownloading them...). Of course the ideal 
thing is that people just deal with a play-list that gets enqueued, but 
cannot modify what's playing at the moment. This way you ensure that you 
won't have synching problems if you pre-download some songs...

Well, if I'm able to make it, I'll call it the Party extension. ;)
