sleep button should cycle among choices when held down

I find the current sleep functionality quite painful to use. The tap for time/hold for snooze is okay, but I want to be able to keep holding to cycle through the different states from 'end-of-song', 15, 30, 60, 90, off without the press-and-hold delay each time.
I'm in with you on this one. The long press, release, long press, release, ... is very slow an annoying.
nice idea but non-trivial. IR handler does repeats, but would still need to be counted and stepped based on repeat counts after hold. Front panel handler doesn't do repeats.
We can add repeats if necessary for the snooze button. Filix and I were just in that part of the code. I really think this will be a continual annoyance to me (and I assume to others). Assuming we can add repeats without any problem, do we want to implement this? -C
the regular button handler still needs some sort of reliable repeat counter in this case. given that the ir isn't as robust as many would like, it may lead to inconsistent results when holding the sleep button on the remote. Hopefully the inconsistencies can be kept to an imperceptible level.
