This code was added in 21851c0673 but
looks completely broken:
- the status code is "206 OK" but "206" would be "Partial Content"
- the "Content-Length" header has a bogus value
- the "Content-RangeX" parameter has different bogus values (why
"Content-RangeX" anyway and not "Content-Range"?)
Apart from that, there are strange undocumented non-standard headers
which are probably there to work around bugs/expectations in one
broken proprietary client product. But these days, MPD doesn't bend
over to support broken clients. So let's kill this code.
Closes#304
Don't reactivate the PCM device immediately after Cancel() is
finished; if Cancel() gets called this may mean that new data may take
a while to produce, or no data at all will be produced because the
current song is being stopped.
Once new data is available, Play() will automatically reactivate the
PCM.
This fixes underruns when switching songs manually (closes#264).

This just copies the necessary bits and pieces from the ALSA plugin and applies them to OSXOutput based on dop config setting. It only changes the OSXOutput plugin as needed for DoP (further changes to support additionally e.g. integer mode or setting the physical device mode require rather a complete rewrite of the output plugin).
Fortunately the Core Audio API is by default bit perfect and supports DoP with minimal changes (setting the sampling rate accordingly after ensuring that the physical mode supports at least 24 bits per channel seems to be enough). This was tested on an Amanero Combo384 device hooked up to a ES9018 DAC.
USAGE (try only on DACs that support DoP):
- Add dop "yes" option to mpdconf
- Be sure to set at least 24bits per channel before playing some DSD file (using Audio-MIDI-Setup)
- Based on the dop setting, MPD will change the sample rate as required and output DoP signal to the DAC
- Hog mode is recommended to ensure that no other program will try to mix some output with the DoP stream (resulting in bad noise)
- Alternatively set the default output device to another device (e.g. the built-in output) to avoid having other audio interfere with DSD playback
