Your patch introduced a bug, thanks to Yoni who spotted it.

On a fresh started Emacs, open the streams menu (M-x emms-streams), be
sure to check that emms-stream-default-action is "add", and press RET on
a stream. You should have a message "No buffer named *Playlist*".
Because it loads info before actually creating the playlist buffer.

If you find a way to fix that, I'd be glad, info-loading isn't my
favourite code :).

Thanks,
