Give user feedback that stream is loading

[fnsign]

I totally love that module and have a small improvement proposal:
I start the stream by pushing a physical push-button mounted on my frame. Sometimes, it takes 3-5 seconds until the stream start after pushing the button. A this is quite a long time one can not be sure if the button might be bouncing and the user pushes again. To acknowledge the button push I inserted an ALERT for the user in MMM-Podcast2.js, indicating that the stream is loading. When the button is pushed again to stop the stream, I added another notification (which I find is not so obstrusive) inidcation that the stream has stopped. Maybe you could include those 2 lines in your next release? I think others would like that, too.

Here the code:

//Helper, to use module with notification system
notificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
	if(notification === "BUTTON_PRESSED"){
		if (isplaying === false){
			isplaying = true;
			payload = [streamurl,'PLAY'];
			this.sendNotification("SHOW_ALERT", {message: "Stream wird gestartet...", timer: 4000}); // ALERT: added by fnsign for better UX
		} else {
			//Stop omx senden
			isplaying = false;
			payload = [streamurl,'STOP'];
			this.sendNotification("SHOW_ALERT", {type: "notification", message: "Stream wurde beendet."}); // NOTIFICATION: added by fnsign for better UX
		}
		this.sendSocketNotification('BUTTON_PRESSED', payload);

	}
},

@fnsign
I will try to implement it, next time i modify the module. A better internet connection (i use a separat Wifi dongle on my pi 3) can improve the starting time of the stream.
