Hello,
I took a better look on the shuffling issue, and I think the situation
could be improved this way:
1. A new flag "played" for shuffle_track. The flag is set once a track is
chosen *automatically* from the shuffle list. A track with the "played" flag
set is never chosen for the next song (but it can be selected manually!).
On reshuffle (through :shuffle or when auto_reshuffle is triggered), all
"played" flags are set to zero.
2. Two new flags "played_album" and "played_artist", which become active if
aaa_mode changes. This makes it possible to e.g. listen randomly through all
songs of an album, without loosing all the other "played" flags (which is good,
otherwise there is the probability that recently played tracks are selected).
This makes it possible to fix this bug [1] and to have this feature [2].
