That solved the problem in a beautiful way! I guess it's better to rely on
plain javascript for quick solutions, where jquery documentation isn't rich
in examples and explanations yet :)
The jHeartbeat plugin you pointed me at looks interesting too, THANK YOU
Jörn!

The purpose of ajaxSetup is only setting global defaults for all ajax
request. The timeout option is used to cancel request after some time,
the documentation for $.ajax and $.ajaxTimeout should contain some more
information about that.
What you need is something like this:
function request() {
$("#podcast_items").load("podcast_items_updater.php");
}
setInterval(request, 5000);
If that doesn't yet do what you need: Have a look at the jHeartbeat
plugin.
