I fully agree. The freedom we give users for organizing their files is
precisely why my patch lets you configure at fine granularity which
files it should regard as resumable.

I agree that autoresume should default to off. However, the open
question is which subfeatures of my patch should be enabled by default
once autoresume has been enabled globally.

Here's what I think you guys would prefer:

* Enable automatic resume?
  -- No

(The following options are only used when automatic resume has been
enabled:)

* Restrict which tracks can be resumed (by directory or genre tag)?
  -- No, enable for all tracks

* Resume on automatic track change?
  -- Never (other options would be: yes, all resumable tracks; or, a
     minimal track length for the next track at which the resume feature
     kicks in)

* Prevent skip back to track intro?
  -- Never (other options would be: only for resumable tracks; or,
     always)

Note: the last config option is currently named "Allow skip back to
intro" (with suitably inverted naming of the options, of course). Any
preferences, or suggestions for an even better naming?

Thanks for your comments, Alex! :)
