Hello,

You've got my mind ticking. Do currently playing carts keep playing if you
drop into manual mode? I would like to keep everything playing from
Rivendell if possible. Thinking that I could enter manual mode when this
kind of cart is playing, and then drop back to Automatic once it's finished
(or nearly finished) by using a script to monitor the status.

Cheers
