Feature: Option to disable auto-resume music on Sonos about smartthings-bigtalker-orig HOT 3 CLOSED

I'll add this "defaults" option to enable/disable resume when using a musicPlayer device handler in the 1.1.7 release.

I plan to release 1.1.6 to resolve a couple of bugs. Therefore, I'm changing my original plan for this feature from release with 1.1.6 to release with 1.1.7 as I will likely need to adjust several portions of the Talk() function and ensure that the new setting is backwards compatible for a while.

Thank you for the consideration. The resuming of music i was not playing is really getting to me. I wonder if it could have anything to do with BigTalker checking whether it the Sonos is playing while it is playing a BigTalker alert in which case it would explain why opening and closing a door with two messages back to back often ends up with Pandora blasting off some classical music (I left it on that as it is way less disrupting that some other music... especially when unexpected). Rumors are starting to spread that my house is infested with a musical poltergeist.

UPDATE: I think I was able to disable the resume function by searching for "playing" in the code and replacing it with "Xplaying" in order to break its ability to check whether the music was playing and therefore to resume it. To test I started music on my Sonos and then caused a message to be spoken and the music never resumed. I then triggered a ton of messages and music never started after playing the messages (which was what I was really after). My kitchen Sonos is dedicated to home automation announcements so we never use it for music (would be really annoying for the music to be interrupted relatively often). Now I can wait in peace for the option to appear :)
