PromyLOPh/pianobar — Issue #222: SOCKS5 proxy support?

Up to version __2011.11.11__ (I think), I was able to use pianobar through a SOCKS5 proxy with no problems whatsoever. I've been updating to the latest git version every couple of weeks, but I still can't get it to work.

Here's my output:

Welcome to pianobar (2012.01.10-dev)! Press ? for a list of commands.
(i) Control fifo at /home/bk/.config/pianobar/ctl opened
(i) Login... Error: Your ip address was rejected. Please setup a control proxy (see manpage).

My config file looks like this:

user =
password =
control_proxy = socks5://127.0.0.1:3213/

_(Other than pianobar, every other configured app on my PC can use the proxy just fine.)_

Is there any way to get the current pianobar version working through an SSH tunnel without having to resort to a "proxifier" app?
Thanks, and keep up the good work.
