Description
Attached patch fixes streamed m3u playlists that contain special characters in either artist or song name (e.g. Motörhead).
This problem is visible in Windows with WinAmp. For some reason, it seems that playing a single file through MythWeb does not have this same problem (?).
I've only played with streaming in Windows/WinAmp environment, it would be nice if someone with e.g. Amarok could verify that this does not brake things.

Updated the patch because there's one other place where we should also do the utf8_decode() conversion.
I've now tested this patch with three players and it works with both WinAmp and XMMS. Amarok however seems to handle playlist character sets somehow differently. With Amarok, things are fine WITHOUT this patch.. and when this patch is applied special characters are not displayed correctly in playlist. So it should make things a bit better for at least 2 players and worse for at least 1 player..
I haven't used Amarok previously, so this could also be configuration issue.
It all seems to be about how different players support playlists with different encodings.
