Just checked in this change:

Fixed the problem that Mike O'Connor was having with playlists.  It probably
makes sense to not hard-code the name of your test playlist into the playlist
opening code.

Enabled volume control on the SliMP3 player.  The buttons work on the remote,
but you need to reprogram the remote a bit.  Sean said:

To make it transmit codes for volume, you first need to set it up for a
JVC receiver, then set it so the volume controls operate the receiver when
in DVD mode. Like this

S RCVR 0 1 8 ENT
DVD
S RCVR VOL+ ENT

The default volume (at startup) is -24dB according to the MAS3507 and is
adjusted in 1dB steps.

There's probably a standard default volume for consumer electronics, but
I don't know what it is.  This works for me, but there's probably a better
number.  Also, the full -99dB to 0dB range might need to be companded or
scaled in some non-linear way.  Have at it.

There isn't any visual feedback when using the volume control, but there 
should be (I think Sean was going to work on this next week.)

The volume control also works on the web page.  This one goes all the way
up to eleven.
