What kind of playobject are you testing with? SplayPlayObject seems to be
very unreliable, the non-streaming MP3 PlayObject seemed to work last time
I tried.

One thing that seems to be getting more and more important every day is that
we deterministically choose which object to use. Often it seems that two
trader entries match, and it depends on the phase of the moon which object
gets used then, and so some people are complaining quite a lot, whereas others
are happy.

So... I think we need a Priority= line in .mcopclass files, and sort all 
queries by Priority, which will allow users to get the best match, rather
than some random match.

Another ugliness is that old .mcopclass files keep lying around if you
install KDE over and over again in the same directory, and quite some
people have problems that just some old outdated thing gets loaded. Not
sure how to solve this.

   Cu... Stefan
