[pygtk] Widgets for audio player

[Milosz Derezynski]

For reasonable functionality support in the playlist (filtering, for
example) and more than let's say 2000 or 3000 rows, you'll much better off
writing an own list widget; it's not very complicated if you figure out the
basics of doing it, one hard part with the current Gtk+ theming is to theme
the widget so that it resembles a treeview (which is useful because that's
what people will be used to 99% of the time when using a 'list' with Gtk+).
