Multi-stream support

[alamminsalo]

Got this request via reddit pm

As a user I'd like to be able to see multiple streams at once

Most easily implemented through a settings tickbox to allow multiple instances running. I believe tray icon needs to be disabled in this case

File contention issues, possibly? There's nothing in the emote cache safeguarding against another process downloading to the same file at the same time. I was thinking I could change to downloading to a safe temp file and then doing an atomic rename.

Made the safe temp downloading change as part of https://github.com/alamminsalo/orion/pull/93

when this feature arrives, I think for linux/pulseaudio users it would be needed to have "titles" in stream name aka support for PulseAudio metadata... to separate them out in audio applet

as for now (at times) I just see on KDE's audio applet "Plasma: Playback Stream" name instead of Orion ...or "Orion: "

for example even now when Firefox moved to pulseaudio it hasn't this feature/patch yet ...sigh...

so its really bothersome when you see a spam list in the audio applet of the "same stream name" and you don't have any idea where the audio comes from.

check pulseaudio wiki for more link 1 & link 2
