[Jean Felder <jfelder src gnome org>]

commit aa0a48fd38d9403bb9188da374b7e65ec4361dcb
Author: Jean Felder <jfelder src gnome org>

    albumwidget: Add an active_coreobject parameter
    
    The active_core_object parameter is used to set the player playlist
    when a song is activated. By default, the current album is used.
    This will be used by ArtistAlbumsWidget to play the songs of an
    artist.
