[slinkelist] RE: Delay command in automation interface

[Colby Boles]

I took a closer look, and you're right the mapping commands may get 
executed *after* subsequent CDJ commands due to the way CDJ responses make 
their way back to to the mapper via SlinkeServ. So I fixed it. I'll try to 
get this new version up today.
