0.20 - True gapless playback + wavpack/wma support

I'm headed off to vacation tomorrow so here is a new version before I go.  The main feature I added was true gapless playback for every supported filetype (mp3/aac files need to be encoded properly to support it.. ie with itunes or lame encoder).  You can enable it in the new audio section of the preferences. 

I have gotten 2 different reports about force closes due to libraries failing to load.  This unfortunately is one of the downfalls to the android OS.  Different devices and even different firmware versions of the same device can have different versions of libraries that may be incompatible.  I implemented a work-around if the audioengine library fails to load.  GMMP will just run just with some features disabled.  I will try to come up with a better solution but without getting my hands the actual device.. it will be tough.

edit: I forgot to state that mp3 and aac gapless support depends on the device.  If gmmp cannot find a decoder it can use on the device, playback will still contain gaps in between tracks.

Changelog:
0.20 (06/28/11):
-Gapless playback supported (disabled by default due to potential higher cpu usage)
-Added ability to preload next track to eliminate the pause during track changes
    (incidentally this creates gapless playback for formats like ogg)
-Audioengine: Raised default priority of playback thread THREAD_PRIORITY_URGENT_AUDIO
-Audioengine: Lowered CPU/Memory usage for audioengine playback
-Added audioengine preferences for decode thread priority, playback buffersize,
    gapless playback, and preload next track time
-Updated notification to show the current track instead of "service started"
-File scanner will ignore files with unreadable tags
-Queue Album On Song Play Action option now works with the browser view
-New formats supported: Wavpack (wv) and windows media audio (wma)

fixes:
-Stop is called when the end of a playlist is reached (and loop/random is disabled)
-Fixed playlist bug if you had the same track in the playlist multiple times
-Audioengine: Cleanup audiotrack properly when stopping
-Audioengine: Fixed some minor seeking issues
-Audioengine: Fixed crash when stopping playback
-Caught exception for when audioengine.so fails to load.  gmmp will still work, but
    functionality may be limited (extra audio formats + gapless)

3.4.0

Plans for 3.4 changed a bit when google announced they will be hiding apps on newer versions of android if they dont target the newer sdks.  GMMP always tries to target one of the more recent versions of android, but the unlocker has no need for that since its essentially just a license key.  As of May 1st the unlocker will be hidden on newer versions of android to those who have not already purchased.  Because of this, the focus of 3.4 was to get in app purchases working to allow users to buy the full version after May 1st.  There is a new 'Purchase' section in the settings where the unlocker can now be purchased. One other change in 3.4 is the support for the Android 13+ media controls.  They changed around how to customize them, so that is reflected in a new 'Media Controls' section of the settings. The language can also be changed for just GMMP via the system settings The changelog itself is fairly small but I did a large update of all the libraries / dependencies t
