Subject: refinements-and-docs-for-emms-history.dpatch

This path makes some refinements in emms-history.el:

    `emms-history-start-playing' is non-nil.
  - Added customization group emms-history
  - defvar -> defcustom
  - better docstrings and commentary
  - Added Info docs. (Node "Persistent Playlists")

+@chapter Persistent Playlists
+
+The Emms module @file{emms-history.el} makes playlists persistent over
+emacs sessions.  To make use of this feature put this into your
+~/.emacs.
+
+@lisp
+(require 'emms-history)
+@end lisp
+
+When you kill emacs all playlists will be saved in the file given by the
+variable:
+
+@defopt emms-history-file
+The file to save playlists in.  It defaults to
+"~/.emacs.d/emms-history".
+@end defopt
+
+After you started up emacs again, you can restore all saved playlists
+with this function.
+
+@defun emms-history-load
+Restore all playlists in `emms-history-file'.
+@end defun
+
+If that should be done automatically on each startup, put these lines
+into your ~/.emacs.
+
+@lisp
+(require 'emms-history)
+(emms-history-load)
+@end lisp
+
+Normally @code{emms-history} only restores playlists.  If you want it to
+start playback afterwards, you can tweak this variable.
+
+@defopt emms-history-start-playing
+If non-nil emms starts playing the current track after
+`emms-history-load' was invoked.  The default value is nil.
