Playback tab in preferences is complex

Description

Remove "Player Backend" checkbox and enable crossfade by default.

Crossfade duration has sub-second accuracy, is that necessary? Could it be simplified to a selector for: gap-less, gap and crossfade. With a preset amount of time for the gap and crossfade options. Can crossfade time be calculated by analyzing the sound level of the last seconds of the song to determine the best mix point?

Can network buffer size be removed completely and perhaps obtain current network speed automatically then base the buffer on that speed. If network speed can't be obtained, then just ask the user for there current network speed and base buffer on that(totem does this i think) or just default the speed in gconf.
