> I have a feature request for mythmusic.  in the settings file, there are 
> various options for VisualMode, one being random. However, I would like 
> to have the option of VisualMode being a list, ie VisualMode=BumpScope 
> MonoScope StereoScope  and mythmusic pick a random entry from the list.

> I tried to write the code to do the task, but I'm not very familiar with 
> C/C++ and gave up.  Kept getting either compile errors or segfaults.  
> I'm sure its a piece of cake to write, heck I can write it in three or 
> four other languages, just don't know C :(
