I was hoping that amarok would allow use of any KIO-slave as a source for music. This \
could be done by using KDE I/O to read the source and "piping" data to the playback \
engine (gstreamer/xine/...). I don't know how efficient this could be and perhaps the \
approach of having the engine use KDE I/O slaves would be better. Probably arts can \
handle any such URL but gstreamer crashes. See my report at:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99580

In any case, it would be nice to allow archive URLs in the collection (at least for \
local KIO-slaves). This way, one can have all songs of an album in an archive (e.g. \
zip or tar) and add one URL kioslave:/path/to/archive to the collection. Perhaps \
amarok could even have a setting "look inside archives" when building the music \
collection library and then one could place several archives in one directory and add \
only that directory to the collection.
