After playing with manual edits to the database, it looks like the
easiest thing is to not create a new pane at all, just use the current
podcast pane.

Upon import, if the file has a PODCAST tag then -

A) Set the entry type in db to "podcast-post"
B) Set the album node in db to contents of PODCAST tag
C) Set the description note to contents of the COMMENT tag(s)
D) Set the post-time in db to contents of the DATE tag (id3v2 a bit more
difficult)

It looks like after that, the podcast plugin will do the rest and I can
play them from there despite not having an rss feed for the podcast.

That won't take episode number into account but if I find sort by date
isn't sufficient I can look at that later.

So all I really need to do is code an import check and handling.
