Mixxx's auto-DJ feature no longer allows transitions/breaks longer than "-9" seconds (9 seconds)

[Kyle K.]

Mixxx has the ability to control transition timing between two songs when the audo-DJ feature is active.

one can add time, to increase the space between songs, or take away time to a negative value, so the 2nd song starts playing before the first ended.

However, within the past two versions of Mixxx, the ability to go beyond -9 seconds in the transition time control was removed.

This means that if you want a gap larger in your songs in the auto-DJ queue larger than 9 seconds, you can no longer set this option.

The option remains to set values the other direction far in excess of 10 seconds, so a song can be set to play well more than 10 seconds before the first one ends.

I noted this on the Mixxx forums and was referred to add it here for visibility.
I used this feature as a DJ at times it was needed(large pauses in my sets), and would really like to see it returned.

I am using Mixxx 2.2.4

The -9 limit was set from the first version that allows negative transitions:

However I see no reason to limit this value.
I think we can remove the limit.

The control is limited to 0 ... 99 by default. I will change the limit to -99.
