Command line : Seek forward backward

[Adam Olsen]

Just a little enhancement : I would to command exaile with my multimedia keyboard. Now, with the command line option, metacity and gconf-editor I can do : launch exaile, play/pause, next, previous. But I can't seek forward or seek backward because there aren't any option to do that. So, can you add this in the command line ?

This ticket was migrated from the old trac: re #380

I made minor changes to /usr/lib64/exaile/xl/{main.py,xldbus.py}.

Now i can seek foward and backward N seconds from current position, with a command line option.
exaile --scrollseek 10 (goes 10 seconds forward)
exaile --scrollseek -13 (goes back 13 seconds)

I added the new version of the file I made as attachment (exa.tar), below also the diffs.
