After a lot of fights with AIFF format, I've pushed 0.2.30-rc1 which I
hope will be a version I'll be able to settle on for a while. If this
works well enough, I'll make is 'stable' and then restart a new clean
thread, as agreed. Main changes:

- Added the possibility to truncate 24 bits files to 16 bits for players
that do not support 24 bits - only works when *uncompressed* data is
used (codecs = aif or pcm)
- In LMS 7.7, a reduced header is sent with AIFF samples. This adds an
offset in the audio data that was making files unreadable. 
- This does not exist in 7.9 (to my surprise, 7.7 and 7.9 do not send
the same format exactly)
- CPU usage reduction when changing byte order
- The plugin part behaves properly wrt LMS thread logic. As a
consequence => when stopping the "bridge", a delay of 2~10 second
happens. Do not close the page
- Manual and bubble-info updates, thanks to PasTim

At this point, I'll not do any major change or feature addition, just
correction to move to 'stable' status. 

On some players, there is still an issue when selecting 'wav' or 'aif'
for "uncompressed format". The symptom is that LMS is stuck on the
current track, although the next one might be playing. A potential
workaround is to unselect the "Player handles next track" option. If
this still does not work, I have no workaround for the moment, please
use only 'raw' in the "uncompressed format" and if your player does not
support 'raw', then remove 'pcm' and 'aif' from the "codecs" list.
