Play multiple files

[CFoltin]

Dear all,

for the use of omxplayer as an audio-player, I needed the ability to play several files in a row. I tried the trick using a pipe and pipe:0 as the file, but this doesn't work for all audio formats (e.g. not for m4a).
Thus, I enhanced omxplayer by the ability to play several files specified on the command line. You can switch between them using the key board shortcut "b" (before) and "a" (ahead). Dbus support is present (but untested).
Open Points:

• there is still some noise between the audio files
• for videos, the black background isn't kept
• on purpose, I didn't changed the indentation in omxplayer.cpp inside the while-loop to facilitate the comparison. This could be done by me or after merging

I would like that the changes are reviewed and, if applicable, merged.

Thanks,

Chris (from FreeMind)
