* print an error message when the variable creation failed because of a name
   clash (two variables with the same name but different types)
 * print a warning when calling var_Get on a void variable
 * fix one comment as the list is NOT sorted (and that too expensif to do).

Thisway playlist don't run sort when created (in case of you start vlc,
and don't set playlist visible then adding stuff. When you open playlist
it would sort the stuff).

Also remove showing sort-indicator incorrectly on start (don't show
it at all before user clicks to sort).

art url only for the input parent as that's always the same image for all
inputs).

And add two lines that attempt to explain a bit more what is this class about.

it checks table of frequencies that usually contains channels. Thou
dvb-c users need to check if modulation and symbol-rate are correct for
them (atleast for me modulation auto didn't work).

example commandline that worked for me:
vlc dvb:// --dvb-srate=6875000 --dvb-modulation 128

default symbol-rate is suited to dvb-s and is over limits for dvb-c, so
check given symbol-rate and default to somewhat common value if so.

Or else a timer callback might still be running when the caller frees
its resources, which is bad
