Bug Description

Wishlist: Add a command line flag to start playing the track specified on the command line on load. The only reason I would want something like this is it would provide a relatively consistent platform for doing an automatic timed benchmark for various cxxflag combinations. There are probably more ideal methods for producing reliable profiles however this would be the quick and dirty hack until something better is put into place.

It would be convenient for this to also work when Mixxx is already running. Drag and drop is not always an option or desirable.
