Log Message:
Update audio/cmus to 2.4.0

Upstream changes:

I'm pleased to announce cmus 2.4.0 "Easter egg", the long-awaited feature
release of cmus. Since 2.3.0 (more than a year ago!) tons of enhancements have
been made, both to cmus' internals, and to the user-visible parts.

Here is a short summary of the new stuff you will find in 2.4.0:

- Mutt-like short filters
    E.g. "~a beatles (!~y1960-1965 | ~d>600)". This nicely complements
    traditional cmus filters, especially with

- Live filtering
    Live filtering is immensely useful and addictive feature, especially if you
    have a huge music library. Press 'L' and start typing, and you'll understand
    what I mean. To reset the live filter, type 'L<Enter>'. Also, do know that
    you can use short filter expressions for live filtering, too!

- Resume support
    To enable resume support, simply add "set resume=true" to your ~/.cmus/rc.
    After that, cmus will resume the playback at startup (or resume the paused
    state, if you quit cmus while track was paused), as well as restore the
    state of live filter etc. Most likely than not, you'll find this very
    useful!

- Smarter string handling
    Cmus has solid Unicode support for a while now; however, this release
    adds locale-aware string ordering, and the ability to ignore diacritical
    marks (accents) while searching/live filtering/etc.: e.g. "bjork" will
    match "Bj�rk", which can be very handy.

- Long format options, including ones for bitrate/codec
    From now on, format strings can contain more readable placeholders like
    %{artist}, including new (and frequently requested) %{bitrate} and %{codec}.

- HTTP proxy support for streams via http_proxy environment variable

- Less CPU wakeups during playback
    This makes cmus more eco-friendly, because of reduced power consumption.
    It also makes notebook batteries last a bit longer.

- New RoarAudio output plugin

- Support for big-endian systems, lots of different audio sample formats,
  almost any C compiler and unix-like OS out there

Also, cmus' website (http://cmus.sourceforge.net) now has a wiki:
http://cmus.sourceforge.net/wiki. Make sure to check it out (and update, if it
is missing something).
