Notable additions for dtas-player music listeners.

  dtas-ctl queue cat - display the internal queue
  dtas-tl shuffle [true|false] - toggle tracklist shuffle
  dtas-tl edit - open tracklist in an editor
                 see dtas-tl(1) manpage for more details on this:
                 http://dtas.80x24.org/dtas-tl.txt

The player tracklist now uses sequential track IDs instead of Ruby
object IDs, so it should be easier to use existing commands such as
"dtas-tl goto" and "dtas-tl remove"

For people using dtas-player for applying real-time effects to
splitfx YAML files, dtas-player can now watch for changes in scripts
specified in the "command" field of the splitfx YAML file.
Previously, dtas-player could only read the splitfx YAML file
itself.  This requires GNU/Linux and the sleepy_penguin RubyGem
installed.

dtas-splitfx also learned some switches to allow easier
interoperability with other processing tools:

  -p/--sox-pipe - identical to the sox(1) option

  -t/--trim - only expose part of the track, useful when
              combined with the above -p switch

See http://dtas.80x24.org/dtas-splitfx.txt for more details.

There's also some work-in-progress stuff that's not well documented
at the moment.  As with anything pre-1.0, expect the possibility
of incompatible changes.

Since I'm not good at designing protocols, I've also started working
on mpd compatibility layer to allow using the normal music playback
stuff with more clients (some of the clients I actually like, unlike
the seemingly GUI-only landscape of MPRIS :P).

Of course, dtas-player itself has most the capabilities of a
Unix shell; and those capabilities will certainly not be available
to mpd or MPRIS clients.
