Few updates to Finnish translation.

Long-term "TODO"
================
- URIs with "?" are stripped (the subtune support uses that), which is bad,
  because some (a lot) of real-world URLs use 'GET' arguments. this breaks
  probing, but current input probing is confusing (and possibly broken anyway)
  and should be refactored.


- mime-types support:
  * there is already code for mime support, but I think it may not be
    sufficient as it is designed for input plugins only -- 
    also playlist containers etc. need this (IMHO)

  * might be nicer to have the type registrations in plugin struct
    instead of a separate function, a'la vfs_extensions.


- document the different APIs via Doxygen


- unified debugging/message system, for core and plugins
  * something like glib logging system, with logging levels
  * hardcoded "debugging" levels and/or macro-wrappers that would
    disable superfluous debugging output compile-time.
  --- being planned by ccr


- audacious VFS is not 64-bit offset safe, breakage will most likely occur,
  if files larger than 2^31 are used (rather unlikely, tho, but still...)

  * nenolod says: current vfs sucks, it needs a "rewrite":
    - buffering support
    - non-blocking I/O support


- {core,plugins}/configure.ac need some cleanup loving.
  * make session management (SM) optional.
  * build system cleanups .. extra.mk.in? wtf?
  --- this is in progress, worked on by ccr


- plugin rewrites:
  * madplug
  * modplug (in progress by ccr)
  * scrobbler


- playlist.c: playlist_clear() is VERY slow, possible reasons?
  * GList sucks? (it does, but is it the reason here?)
  * playlist_entry_free()?
  * mowgli_heap_free()?

  possible solutions?
  * mempools for playlist data? not sure if possible, the tuple heaps
    should then somehow be collected into pools...
  * storing the playlist as a GtkTreeModel seems to be fairly fast (at least
    in mudkip-player it is) --nenolod

- playlist.c: racecondition in scanner thread vs. playlist manipulation
  (playlist_clear(), free, etc.)
  * go through scanner thread code and revise it.
  * also all playlist manipulation should be double-checked.
  * .. actually, the whole playlist.c should be refactored completely.
