[LAD] [ANN] alsaplayer-0.99.78 released

AlsaPlayer is a new type of PCM player. It is heavily multi-threaded and tries
to excercise the ALSA library and driver quite a bit. It has some very
interesting features unique to Linux/Unix players.

This is a feature enhancement and minor bugfix release. Support for FLAC-1.3
and 1.4 is added. A desktop file is included. See the ChangeLog for the details.

I will also remember you at a new and usable python binding module is available
in a separate package. Those bindings cover the functionality in control.h. More
functionality can be added it you want, but this level of functionality must be
what you are looking for in most cases.

Help will be very welcomed to continue to improve Alsaplayer. The 3 main areas
of work will be:

1) Rework the core functionality:

* Adding TCP-based control module in parallel with unix-socket based one.
* Separating libalsaplayer and checking for crossplatform-readiness.
* Separating all interfaces (the main questionable thing).

2) Add more input plugins.

3) Do a modern interface. At least 3 possibilities are possible:

* With the existing experimental GTK2 interface.
* With the existing experimental QT interface.
* With the python bindings.
