/**
* This implements a special mode of operation for upmpdcli where a
* Songcast Sender is created (playing the current playlist) and we
* switch to Receiver mode. Other Receivers may then be connected for
* synchronized multiroom playing.
*
* On entering the mode, the following operations are performed.
* - Tell MPD to stop playing.
* - Start another MPD process which one FIFO output.
* - Start a Songcast Sender (uxsender) process, playing from the
* FIFO.
* - (The two above steps are implement by an external script)
* - Copy the playlist to the new MPD, and play approximately from
* where we stopped.
* - Switch to receiver mode and play from the just created Sender.
* At this point other Receivers may be connected.
*
* The mode is entered by selecting the SenderReceiver source in
* OHProduct::setSource. This is a slight abuse of the function, but
* allows controlling this from any CP implementing setSource.
