source.pm changed, added code starting @ line 513.  removed other call
to Slim::Control::xPL::sendXplHBeatMsg (sorry you'll have to search i
don't have the line number or do a 'diff')

i changed xpl.pm to check if $track->album()->title() is defined. i

can't run a stream right now.  you should just be able to copy the
whole file instead of finding the diffs.

control.pm is unchanged.
