[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Call srand() for proper rand() function

[Krister Lagerstrom]

When using "mplayer -shuffle *.mp3" with the latest CVS, the files are
always played in the same order. This is a bug IMHO.

This is because the random generator used by playtree.c (rand()) is
always initialized with the same seed since srand() is usually not
called before rand() is used in playtree.c.

The following patch adds a call to srand() with the current time at the
start of main(). It makees "-shuffle" to works as expected.
