One thing to look into would be QT4's methods for separating data sets  
and views.  I don't know much about it, other than that it's supposed  
to make it easy to abstract what data you have from how it's  
presented, and switch it on the fly.  Anyone (Max, I think I remember  
you talking about this) able to weigh in on this and whether it might  
solve this problem?  Right now each media device plugin has to manage  
the listview itself, which does lead to a lot of code retreading.
