pretending to play while we wait for the connection to timeout. This
removes the need for timers, and thus removes the now unnecessary
timer_get_runtime_* function(s) from the timer code.
The changes made compared to the pre-patch shout plugin are:
* Block while connecting, timing out after 2 seconds.
* Close the device, and not just the connection, if play returns -1.
* Remove sd->last_err (it's always assigned before use).
* Some minor cleanups.
