[Pianod] New error just crept up

[Jimmy Pop]

The error in question was not generated by a pi, it was generated by a
3.3 kernel on a Debian fs, running on a Cubieboard, but the cubie and
pi are both arm processors. I'll try it on my full Debian box tonight.

Perhaps a buffer, that queues commands until it acknowledges it's
online would be helpful.
Also, if we could generate an offline event to the control port, that
would be helpful.
The Internet could be down, but a dedicated system on the local
network trying to control it should be informed.

Not sure why it wasn't an issue before, but I guess just as well we started looking at it.  Perette, do you have thoughts about how pianod should behave if it is instructed by the start script to log in and start playing immediately but it doesn't have network yet?
