    * src/Banshee.Base/PlayerEngine.cs: Replacement for IPlayerEngine; base
    class that offers common functionality between all engines; new
    event/message system that is more verbose than old system... allows for
    metadata extraction from streams and buffering

    * src/Banshee.Base/PlayerEngineCore.cs: Proxy and wrapper for PlayerEngine
    that handles all loading of PlayerEngine types and switching out of
    engines at runtime

    * src/Banshee.Base/PlayerEngineLoader.cs: Removed, deprecated, etc...
    PlayerEngineCore now loads and instantiates engines from assemblies

    * src/PlayerInterface.cs: User interface is completely passive regarding
    interaction with PlayerEngineCore; UI updates only after getting events
    and messages from PlayerEngineCore; plugins now have the exact same
    functionality regarding playback that the UI has traditionally had

    * src/Banshee.MediaEngine/Gstreamer/GstPlayerEngine.cs: Reworked to
    implement new PlayerEngine base class; implementation is now much
    simpler (for 0.10 and 0.8 engines)

    * src/Banshee.Base/UnknownTrackInfo.cs: A placeholder TrackInfo class
    that is used to create a container for loading plain URIs; eventually
    metadata will be filled in if it's found in the stream itself

    * src/Banshee.Base/Gui/OpenLocationDialog.cs: Glade Dialog implementation
    for open URI functionality

    * src/Banshee.Base/Makefile.am: Added UnknownTrackInfo.cs,
    Gui/OpenLocationDialog.cs and MediaEngine/PlayerEngine.cs

    * src/Banshee.Base/ActionManager.cs: Added OpenLocationAction

    * src/NotificationAreaIcon.cs:
    * src/PlaylistModel.cs:
    * src/PlaylistView.cs:
    * src/RemotePlayer.cs:
    * src/Preferences.cs:
    * src/Banshee.Plugins/Audioscrobbler/Engine.cs:
    * src/TrackProperties.cs: Updated to reflect changes in PlayerEngineCore
