The fact that `emms-playlist-limit-tracks' isn't buffer-local is a
bug. I fixed that.

The rest of the code in emms-playlist-limit.el is pretty basic and needs
a lot of work to avoid several other issues. I'll add that to the list,
but I can't guarantee when it'll all get done.

In the meantime if you feel like sending in patches...

In any case, thank you for the bug reports.
