/**
 * FSAudioController is functionally equivalent to FSAudioStream with
 * one addition: it can be directly fed with a playlist (PLS, M3U) URL
 * or an RSS podcast feed. It determines the content type and forms
 * a playlist for playback.
 *
 * Do not use this class but FSAudioStream, if you already know the content type
 * of the URL. Using this class will generate more traffic, as the
 * content type is checked for each URL.
