xmms- jukebox v2 (patch)

hi!

refering to mail and patch from 02/18/2004, here is the second version 
of a "xmms jukebox patch" featuring:

a) limit the max length of the playlist
b) automatically remove a song after it has been played.
c) print the Filename/URL to a FIFO when removing a played song.

---
applying the patch (still xmms-1.2.9 - sorry),
those features can be enabled in the [xmms] section of the config file:

playlist_limit=10 # (a)
purge_played=TRUE # (b)
--
logtimestamp=FALSE # (c)
log_purged=FALSE # (c)
purge_logfifo=/tmp/xmms.fifo # (c)


setting playlist_limit=0 (default) allows unlimited songs in the
playlist. since a playist with only one song does not make sense, max.
'playlist_limit +1' songs can be in the list.

"purge_played" removes a song from the list when the EndOfFile is
reached, or playlist_next is executed. (eg. by pressing the next-button)

If you want them, it should be trivial to add a checkbox and spinbutton
in the prefswin. IMHO these options do not need to have those buttons :)

since you loose the playlist, when purging songs, you can print the 
Filename/URL before having it removed from the list.

Notes: The FIFO is opened in non-blocking mode. (POSIX compatible??)
If there is no process reading from the FIFO, the data ist lost.

A simple 'cat /tmp/xmms.fifo >> /tmp/playlist.m3u' works.  I also 
attached a bash/sed/awk/sort scripterl to generate a top-ten.

comments welcome
