Interradio issues

• Mopidy (server-client system, complicated) --
• PyRadio (not bad but features were too difficult to add) +/-0
• Mplayer (dead project) --
• mpv - Python-wrapper for mpv (libmpv-dev + python3-mpv): works ++

RaspberryPi issues

• ugly rpigpio: debouncing is broken
• ugly rpigpio: pulse width modulation (PWM) is broken
  (needed for display dimming)
• now using pigpio/pigpiod as a system service: works ++
• monitoring WiFi (radio signal strength RSS/RSSindication)
• easy & quick ways of restarting:
  ** player ** WiFi connection (WiFi stack)
• clean shutdown sequence (long keypress)
• minimizing memory wear (disabled syslog; using RAM for logging)
