I can confirm that this is indeed a known flaw and unfortunately an expected
behaviour atm. The problem is that the playlist code tries to detect when to
stop playing, when that job is really supposed to be done by the mpeg thread.

The fix will be to let the mpeg thread query for amount of songs in the
playlist and the playlist code shall never return NULL because it thinks
there's an error (like it does now if peek is > playlist_amount).
