Now playling track does not update when scrolling

On the SB2 and Softsqueeze the now playing track does not update when the display is scrolling. This looks like a slimserver bug, as the STMs events are being sent at the start of each track. If the display is not scrolling then the track data is updated correctly. Pressing 'Now playing' on the remote, or looking on the web ui always shows the correct track.
is this entirely different from bug992?
Triode supplied a patch to kill animation when the server detects a change in line2. committed to r2421
testing for a change on line2 in graphics scrolling doesn't help the nongraphics players. Will commit a patch shortly that uses a different method. instead, we kill animation from Slim::Player::Playlist::jump which is called at every song change to update the player to the correct current song. This is a good place to kill animation and let the displays render the new info. for radio, I've put in a simple couple lines in Info::setCurrentTitle to check all clients for matching url and calling Playlist::jump if there is a match. This lets jump handle the killAnimation for all cases. i've tested here using albums on slimp3, sbg and sb2, as well as a live365 stream on all. Will look for reports from the next nightly.
