Player object and memory

[Peter T. Evensen]

It hangs someplace down the line (i.e., not the first file name).

The code I have below IS used to set every filename, but it is still 
hanging.  I thought maybe the lock messages was causing a legitimate 
playStopped to be missed, so I modified it to use a custom property as a 
semaphore and it still hangs.

I tried to set the filename to empty and then send a message to the target 
in 500 milliseconds that sets the new filename, along with using the 
semaphores, and it still hangs. :(
