That would be neat, yes. I'm also thinking of parallel-updating the
feeds. Added to TODO list.

An "All Channels"/"Unplayed Channels" view is in the works, there are
still some open questions, but it will (hopefully) be done in one of the
next versions.
For the alphabetical order of the channel list: added to TODO list.

Yes, should be possible - as an option. Added to TODO list.

Would be another sync option, but not very difficult to implement. But,
do you really use the played/unplayed status in gPodder when you don't
use gPodder to listen to podcasts? Anyway, added to TODO list.

Already included in the last SVN version. Just "svn up" or wait for the
next release :)

I'm glad you like it :) Thanks for your feedback and suggestions.
