trplayer status output

[Matthew Campbell]

I like Dave Mielke's proposed format for the status line.  The only
problem with it is that the status words "Contacting" and "Buffering"
wouldn't fit, and neither would the percentage of the buffer that has
been filled.  So, for these two states, perhaps the line should
contain the status word and the percentage buffered when appropriate,
and nothing else.  A status line like that would look like the
messages that you currently get when the player is contacting or
buffering.

I could make it so that this kind of status line is displayed when you
press s and compact output is turned on.  If you press s with compact
output turned off, perhaps the player could output something like
this:

Playing
Elapsed time is 3 minutes and 15 seconds (5%)
Length is 1 hour
Bit rate is 16K

I'm thinking about replacing "bandwidth" with "bit rate" throughout
the program.

I'd like to know what other users think of Dave's suggestions and this
response.  THank you.
