Hell yeah its some major crack, probably some I was on when I wrote it.
Between life and a job, I don't have the time to do the RB hacking i
want.  The best fix for this is to create a ghashtable that maps ids
(that we send out in the daap structure) to play sources.  E-Z shit to
do, just don't have the time.  I'll try this weekend, but if not,
someone please do it :-D

And while you're at it, fix all the other bugs I've been meaning to.
