Well, for one, I'd like to understand what it does ;) How is this different from using thumbnails to store a file's cover art? Does it do de-duplication based on artist+album? Should box art for, say, videos or games be saved in there as well? Or is this simply a way to cache "this artist + this album = this pixbuf data"? It's quite unclear to me where in the stack it lives, and whether it should be above or below something like grilo's sources, or totem's thumbnailer.
