[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1177622] [NEW] RFE: make the command line options work the first time that banshee is started

[i30817]

Public bug reported:

command options like --play and --next do not work the first time banshee is started from the command line.
By 'do not work' i mean do not start playing on a banshee config with music already imported.

I believe these options should work without double invocation (they work
if the banshee interface is already up).

It would be nice to have another option to choose the playlist or
section (music, videos, radio) that the options would work on though.

There are terrible terrible hacks to work around this on the net, like
collecting all files on the Music filesystem dir, 'enqueueing' them on
the first invocation, fork a shell, wait on it, and then invoke banshee
--play, but they all suck.
