Added.

Updated against the new API, and renamed showwaves. The functionality
is still quite limited. For example: we could split the channel
visualization a la ffplay, or create a color map for showing each
channel "samples" in a different color, but I have to think at a
sensible syntax for specifying the map.

This can be added later though with no harm.
