I had a feeling it would get broken, though during testing it _seemed_ ok.

However, I reused the code that the rio uses for stating it's ready to also
confirm when it had finished a track so the display details would update at
the correct time. I suspect this signalling is broken somewhere.

It's this same signalling that related to the 10 secs between tracks on a
skip I mentioned. Temporarily I have changed it to 2 secs while I fix the
signalling.

I suspect this relates to the above.

Seems my testing didn't go far enough :-(

Won't be able to look at this, probably, till the weekend I'm afraid. Got a
busy week.
