Support multiple decks

[RJ Skerry-Ryan]

Mixxx should support more than 2 decks.

We need a 4-deck skin to demo this also. The features_uglyduckling branch can already do 4-deck skins.

Having 4-decks isn't really useful (imo) without master-sync, so we are delaying this until 1.12.

I beg to differ. There are many times where I want to loop one track while playing another over it. I need at least one more deck to mix out of that.

While I think it's *possible* to use 4 decks without master sync, it would seem amateurish not to have the option. I would rather wait until all the related features are done and release a big multi-deck master-sync version of mixxx and knock 'em dead.

The difficult part of master sync is done so we'll be able to hit 1.12 just fine.

I agree. There are also unsolved waveform performance issues that scale in
the number of QGLWidgets on screen. I tried the vci-400-demo 4-deck skin
with the new waveforms and it was unusable.
