Added tags to get the play mode. Play, pause, fast forward and rewind. I
think with this patch you can use all info in status bar on wps.

Repeat mode tags:
%mf = repeat off, returns f
%ma = repeat all, returns a
%mo = repeat one, returns o
%ms = repeat shuffle, returns s

Playback mode tags
%mp = play, returns p
%mu = pause, returns u
%mw = fastforward, returns w
%mb = fastbackward, returns b

Example use in .wps file
%?mf<off|%?ma<all|%?mo<once|%?ms<shuffle»» %?mp<play|%?mu<pause|%?mw<f forward|%?mb<f back»»

Added tags for hold and remote hold.

%mh = hold, returns h
%mr = remote hold, returns r

Is there any reason why you're not using a single tag like
%rm (repeat mode), returning a, o, s or "not defined"?

I used separate tags so it would work with conditionals since they only test
for a returned value not what the value is.
If I used a single tag you would be stuck with the value returned.

Is this correct or am I missing something?

That's true, but exposes a more generic problem (that you
can't test for the value of a variable).

I can't say I like the way you solved it (I'd much rather a
more generic conditional was implemented), but I understand
the reason.

Anyway, I see that the patch was committed. Marking this as
such.
