Player assumes all books will contain audio, it crashes for other book formats.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to read a text-only' book e.g. the book titled "WBU WIPO Copyright
Treaty (draft)" and downloadable from http://www.daisy.org/z3986/samples/#t1

r40 and earlier have some hard-coded assumptions every book and section
will contain audio elements. The software crashes with a 'Force close'
error dialog that repeats in a tight loop until the phone is powered down
and restarted.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The reader should be able to correctly play a range of the more popular
DAISY formats - ideally all the supported formats. If it encounters an
unsupported format, or unsupported segments within a book, it should not crash.

I've started working on some improvements to the code: to support the text
only books, and to add some robustness to the code when it encounters
unsupported or problematic content.

r44 is a partial fix for handling text-based DAISY books. However I've currently
broken the navigation and progression for audio content (See new issue
http://code.google.com/p/android-daisy-epub-reader/issues/detail?id=8 )

I've got to add a view to display the text and fix the stuff I've broken.

Around r185, and certainly in the current version, the player now displays a 
message explaining it doesn't support full-text books. It doesn't crash anymore 
- so this issue can be maked as fixed. Note: we'd still like to support 
full-text Daisy books, however that's a separate feature.
