Suggestion: Add "delay" for tracks sent via DLNA server

Only the renderer (not the server) can do this correctly because the server cannot know which track is "first" in the renderer's playing queue.

I have experienced this myself with my dCS Rossini. My renderer (Melco N1 USB-DAC) has a "Precision Start" setting to control this initial gap and I have found that a setting of 0.75 seconds works well for me.

Indeed, but it also needs to somehow recognize when you have jumped to a new track without completing playback of the prior track in order to reinsert the gap.

I found the .5 second pause was enough to get my Rossini to play the track from the start, but I did notice that with no pause playback does not start until 0.84s in; if you’re bored give .5 second a try and see if you notice ill effects.

JRiver only offered .5 and 1 second delays, so I wasn’t able to try .75s myself.
