The design of the Dynamic Playlists in Amarok 2 is kind of
undeterminded a.t.m. I do know however that it will be based on
Meta::Playlist and use TrackAdvancer in PlaylistModel.

If you've got SQL skills then maybe you can use them on
Meta::PodcastChannel and PodcastEpisode, they need a SQL storage
implementation. We've used SQL to store Podcasts in 1.4 and I believe
we can reuse the schema in
branches/stable/extragear/multimedia/amarok/src/collectiondb.cpp.
