Hi Luciano,

I've looked better to your changes in play_thread (th_preListen) but I had 
something in mind which don't work anymore now with some of your 
modifications :-( 

By using pthread_exit() the state of the "play/stop" buttons is almost 
undifined. The reason I didn't use pthread_exit(), was that at the end of the 
thread the buttons state are restored, or if the thread can't play the file, 
it simply terminates and automatically stores the state of the buttons.
Now you have to do it all by hand by each pthread_exit() call.

But after using it for a while, I think the following will be very easy:

Use for _all_ play/stop buttons the same state. So if in "audioSources tab" a 
prelisten is started, then _all_ play buttons in PM should change status to 
"stop". So when a user changes tab, he/she can easily stop sound/start a new 
one.
Same with the comming checkboxes/combobox/GlobalProperties: "start playing a 
file as soon as you select it, or stop it if you deselect it or start the 
newly selected one" settings/behaviour.

RFC on this please,

Thank you very much

Remon
