a track-progression indicator for use in xmobar

The script can be placed in .config/xmms2/startup.d to have it run when xmms2 starts up. You can configure xmobar with this line in commands:

  , Run PipeReader "/tmp/YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE-xmms2-string-ipc-pipe" "xmms2_curr"

replacing YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE with your login name.

The far-left indicator is animated and highlighted when a track is playing. It turns into an asterisk when play is paused or stopped, but also turns red when stopped. The next indicator shows whether play repeats at the end of the track (T), at the end of the playlist (P) or not at all (-). The highlight on the track info (title::artist::album) indicates track progress. The string XMMS2 is displayed when the xmms2 daemon can't be accessed or when there's some other error.
