Q: Is it planned to support multiple playlists and EQ?

A: Yes

Q: Is it planned to make Windows and/or OSX ports?

A: No

Q: Playlist, settings, etc are not saved if I kill X session, shut down or restart computer, etc

A: That is not fixed yet. But it is work in progress. Please don't bother me with that unless you have a patch that fixes it.
