Commit Details

Set a global default for the Autoplay and Crossfade switches (#6130)

# What does this implement/fix?

The per-player Autoplay and Crossfade switches always started out the
same way (Autoplay on, crossfade off) and there was no place to change
that. Settings > Core > Player Queues now has an on/off default for
both. Every player follows the default until you use its own switch;
from that moment the player keeps its own choice and ignores the
default. Changing a default reaches all players you never toggled,
immediately.

- add global Autoplay and Crossfade on/off defaults to the Player Queues
settings
- a player's switch pins a per-queue override; everything else follows
the global value live
- a default change reaches every following player right away; the
audible effect lands on the next track transition, like the other global
queue settings
- existing players adopt the new defaults once; a switch used after the
update sticks as before
