Summary: misleading "no input plugin" error on unreadable file

Initial Comment:
xine gives an error message claiming there is a problem
with the input plugin when the problem is that the file
is not readable.

I'm using amaroK 1.4.2 on Ubuntu 6.06, which uses xine
as the backend. I was getting "Error: No suitable input
plugin." and it turned out the problem was that I
didn't have read permissions on the file in question. I
fixed permissions and it worked fine.

Possible solution: a new error message (or messages) if
file opening itself fails for whatever reason.
