I've committed a lot held fixes and changes from before the project was approved for hosting at Savannah. They are in revision 5. It is almost a complete rewrite.

Implemented a FIFO as suggested in #bug 34895 and #support 107821 (in Linterna Mágica). Implemented a loop that sleeps once every second until the time for fetching data had been reached. The previous implementation was to sleep the entire amount of time at once. The new implementation allows Mplayer and aplay to be restarted. They are dying often. The reason is unknown. When they are not, it plays without the silence (#bug 34895) between audio chunks.

Sometimes the FIFO is left filled with data from previous audio chunk and when mplayer and aplay are restarted, few seconds of different audio is heard. Might be fixed by creating the FIFO again.

Keeps playing constantly while restarting the players, but needs more fixes.

Implemented song title extraction from metadata, that seems correct.

Not tested with RTMP streams.

Because of the code changes it might (will) break in some places.
