Add shoutcast status indicator to skins.

[Brook Smith]

It would be nice to have a widget to toggle/enable broadcasting and show the status of the enabled encoder(s). Basic functionality would be as follows.

RED STEADY: Disabled

RED FLASHING: Enabled but disconnected.

YELLOW (FLASHING): Buffer/Connection Issue but still connected.

GREEN: Enabled and functioning properly.

Bug #664610 added the relevant control that indicates shoutcast status. See examples in that bug for how to add it to the skins. I'm leaving this bug as a tracking bug for specifically adding broadcasting indicators.

https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/665

contains a status button for Shade. It has:
* UNCONNECTED
* CONNECTING
* CONNECTED
* FAILURE

It does not include the buffering warning. Currently it will flush the buffer and reconnect after 10 s of 192 kbit/s mp3.
Buffering is a "normal" condition using a http protocol. So what should be the threshold for a warning and what is the action the user can take?
An other issue is that there a some weak clients out there, that do not reconnect if their own buffer is consumed or are not able to sync the sample rate variations. So it is hard to predict which buffer level is critical.

For now, I would go without a buffering state.

Any ideas?

I believe this is fixed now.
