If I start xfmedia with the name of a playlist (generated with xfmedia), the
file is listed, but as a single file, not as a playlist. Unsurprisingly, xfmedia
cannot play it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. from the command line, try:
2. xfmedia playlist.txt
or
3. xfmedia -p playlist.txt


Actual Results:  
Xfmedia loads and the file 'playlist.txt' is listed in it's playlist

Expected Results:  
parsed the playlist and listed all the media files (and perhaps started playing
them).

.txt is not a playlist file extension.  Use .m3u for M3U playlists or flat
playlists.  I'm not introducing complicated content-type detection for something
so easily worked around by the user.
