Visualization in Amarok

[Alessandro Siniscalchi]

Hi Daniel,
mmm ... ok.

No personal pissings here.

However my patch ,maybe, is more interesting for the AudioDataCenter class.
The visualM stuff is very intrusive ... and it was only an example to how to
use AudioDataCenter.

I hope that the guy of vsxu could take some advange from my code, I mean ...
vsxu is very nice.
