Amarok may save invalid xml playlists

[Miguel Angel Alvarez]

Hi all,
The saved playlist may not be valid xml, containing escaped non-utf8 
characters which in turn will cause parsers to fail.
See this bugreport for replaygain someone sent me, and have a look at the 
attached playlist in line 1551:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    self.feed(buffer)

    self._err_handler.fatalError(exc)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/handler.py", line 38,
in fatalError
    raise exception
xml.sax._exceptions.SAXParseException:/home/yoda/.kde/share/apps/amarok/current.xml:1551:51:
reference to invalid
character number

This is not actually a problem for me, since the affected parts are not of 
interes for replaygain and I have already written a workaround, but for other 
people this may be a more severe problem.

Regards,
Miguel Angel
