Ampache 3.4-Alpha3

Alpha3 restores almost all missing features from the 3.3.x branch. It also includes a new remote API that allows external applications such as Amarok to interface directly with its catalog. Spocky has polished the interface a good bit and included his new Greysme theme as part of the offical release. A new themable Flash player by Lacy Morrow has been included along with a tweak which allows you to use it on a Wii.
