Review Request: [GSoC] Amarok integration with gpodder.net (GPodder stuff)

[Lucas Lira Gomes]

Hi Stefan,

we can do this way, but I think it isn't efficient.
We only want to know where we stopped, so there is no need to make more than
one episode action.
Unless something like play history is a to-do for Amarok (Bart should know
^^).

Regards, Lucas Lira Gomes.
