theora dev - Jul 2010 - Cortado patch to optionally zero basetime

This patch adds an applet option to Cortado.  The option is off by
default, meaning that the default behavior of Cortado should not change at
all.  If the option is activated, Cortado will display all times relative
to the ogg file's basetime (i.e. first granule).

This patch was written in response to a request from Se?or Ellery, who
noted that files ripped from the middle of a stream do not start from time
zero when played in Cortado.

I believe that this functionality is best left as an option because some
users, for example in live streams, may prefer the existing functionality,
where the displayed time is the time since the start of recording, rather
than the start of the current player's playback.

The patch is slightly tested, and appears to work.

Hi Benjamin, thank you very much for this patch. It worked like a charm.

Now the sessions of a full day event can be saved and available later
for on demand listeners and the cortado's clock will not show
meaningless numbers, but the time relative to the session that is
being watched. Thanks again.

BTW, we Brazilians should be called "senhor". :-)
