AFAICT that interface is meant to provide a filesystem-like
way of adding tracks, as if (from XMMS's point of view) they
were mounted.  Seems quite logical since you can put it
alongside music on the hard-disc rather than needing to do
something different to add tracks.  As it can display track
names rather than "track 1" "track 2" etc.

Surely that should be "grip --device=%d"
