Assigning to Jiri--I've sent a graphic for inclusion (though we may yet iterate on the graphic).

I included the graphics in build 812, but there are some problems. Mainly it doesn't look good because of aliasing effect, i.e. there are:
 - fully transparent pixels - ok
 - fully gray pixels, fully opaque - ok
 - partially gray pixels, fully opaque - problems because their white color interferes with the blue background. This could be fixed e.g. by making the pixels fully gray and partially transparent.

To fix this it's necessary to use alpha (transparency) channel, currently the image seems to use only bit transparency - i.e. each pixel only has information whether it's transparent and not how much transparent it is.

Another problem is that I don't like the 'head' much, WMP 10 graphics looks much better. Could we get something like this? Or maybe at least some audio CD image converted to grayscale (with the transparent applied as described above)?

Note: the image will be storable to 'icons/NoAArt.png' (done in build 812 [Jiri])

Fixed in build 812 by inclusion of a new graphics. I also made the graphics transparent so that now it perfectly blends with any background (any skin).
