cmus as a simple resume-able continuous music player

I wanted to 'replace' my iPod by my computer for a long time. Why drain batteries when at home? Not knowing everything there is to know about FreeBSD (will I ever?), I searched the net and came across cmus one day. It looked very promising. Luckily for us, even a port exists (audio/cmus). After testing it, one quickly realises that the playlist is reset to the beginning every time the application is launched, a little disappointing. In fact, this is a feature that has been on the cmus wishlist for quite some time now, even to this day.

Well, I just written a little patch to address this issue, while waiting for the cmus maintainer to implement it the way he wishes. Indeed, I added a configuration option to transform the cmus play queue into a circular play queue. For those interested, more details can be found in the cmus fork here:

Have fun!
