I'm going out of town, so I'm suggesting this now, rather than waiting
till shuffle is fully cleaned up.

I've been adding new play orders which can currently be enabled by
editing the play-order gconf key. So far, I have: linear, shuffle,
random-equal-weights, random-by-age (time since last play), and
random-by-ranking. I'm planning to add shuffle-by-album (like iTunes)
and random-by-age-and-ranking. (I'm also accepting patches to my
rhythmbox--shuffle-random--0.7 branch if other people have ideas, but
don't expect quick answers till I get back) If these aren't only to be
for developers' amusement, we need some UI to select them.

I suggest replacing the Shuffle checkbox with a dropdown list that
contains a list of whichever play orders we deem most useful.

If I hear no objections (or they're shouted down ;), I'll try to have an
implementation done by Jan 6, when I get back.
