 If the current location is not playbackbox when a 'play program' network
 control command is received, the frontend goes to playbackbox and then
 posts the NETWORK_CONTROL PLAY event. Entering playbackbox takes time and
 it's event handler is not registered when the event is posted. Therefore
 no result is ever returned to the client, which hangs.

 Patch adds a sleep before the event is posted in an attempt to ensure that
 playbackbox's event handler is registered before the event is sent.
