Subject: [PATCH] gst-play: more fine-grained playback rate control

Use smaller steps for lower rates to allow more
fine-grained control. Handle jump across 0 properly
from both sides (just flip direction where we would
have gone down to 0 instead). Don't artificially
limit rates to +/- 10x. Print new rate.
