Released approximately 18 months after the above posting: http://www.gnu.org/software/emms/ Of course, in the meantime I've used AmaroK (until it became too large and slow, and the podcast behaviour too unpredictable), and then rhythmbox, to download and play the podcasts I listen to. So I don't really need to use nnrss for podcasts anymore. But emms looked interesting, even so. (It's downloadable by ELPA, http://tromey.com/elpa/ which is how I discovered it)
