Revert [15458] and change default scrolling behavior to "stoped". You need to click on the text to start the scrolling.

Add scrolling="autooff" : same behavior as "auto" except that it starts in the soped state. Use that in the default skin.

* winamp2.xml: added "kbps" info in winamp skins

 * doc/skins/skins2-howto.xml: Updated doc
