When waiting for free space in the ring buffer, the JACK plugin
sleeped 10ms until there is enough space. This delay was too large
for low-latency setups (<10ms), and created a lot of xruns. Work
around that by reducing the sleep time to 1ms.
A proper solution for this would be to use an event based approach,
and we will do it, just not now.
When the connection failed once, you had to restart MPD, because it
never cleared the jack_data.shutdown flag. Instead, it refused to
play anything "because there is no client thread" (which is wrong at
that point).
GIOChannel is more portable than raw read()/write() calls. We're
using GIOChannel anyway, because we need it for plugging the client
into the GLib main loop.
Configure the GIOChannel to the bare minimum: no character set, no
buffering.
On some platforms, g_free() must be used for memory allocated by
GLib. This patch intends to correct a lot of occurrences, but is
probably not complete.
Both methods are always called together. There is no point in having
them separate. This simplifies the code, because the old configure()
method could be called more than once, and had to free old
allocations.
Reimplemented the legacy mixer configuration: copy the deprecated
configuration values into the audio_output section. Don't configure
the mixers twice (once for the audio_output, and a second time for the
legacy values).
This requires volume_init() to be called before initAudioDriver().
Return the default value in the conf_get_block_*() functions when
param==NULL was passed.
This simplifies a lot of code, because all initialization can be done
in one code path, regardless whether configuration is present.
Two bugs here led to a large number of interrupts being generated on the
sound card when ALSA output is being used. Because we specify no default
period_time, the sound card gives us 3000 interrupts/sec rather than a more
sane 20 or 30. This completes the revert of dd7711 already started by
4ca24f.
The larger bug was in the change to config_get_block_unsigned() and using 0
as the default value for both 'buffer_time' and 'period_time'. This means
any pre-setting of these options in newAlsaData() gets wiped out. Add a new
default for period_time, and ensure default values for buffer_time and
period_time are used if none are provided by the user.

[mk: set defaults in newAlsaData() to fix auto-configuration; renamed
"_MS" back to "_US" because ALSA expects microseconds, not milliseconds]

This should automatically enable its suport in the vorbis and flac
decoder plugins.
The input_stream API sets size to -1 when the size of the resource is
not known. The modplug decoder checked for size==0, which would be an
empty file.
