Brief fade out (and in) when stopping/starting

[poldie]

There's often a pop when stopping playback. If the last few (literally 5 or so) samples were faded out it would prevent this. Same for starting playback, fading in.

I agree this would be a really great enhancement.

I get pops when I start playback and shortly after stop playback from headless server where the MPD daemon is running. That is when I am using the ALSA output of the server for playback. (I could not setup Pulseaudio and maybe I don't need it.) I have a separate mpd user that runs the mpd daemon and also also pulseaudio seems to be running as mpd user for some reason.

I think maybe fading does not remove the pop sound. Maybe the sound is due to some hardware power switching of the audio output.
