It is illegal to pass an empty audio buffer around. pcm_resample()
sometimes seems to result in 0 samples, maybe related to
libsamplerate. To work around that problem, add special checks after
both pcm_convert() invocations. Removed the pcm_resample()==0 checks
from pcm_convert().
When a response is very long (e.g. a large playlist > 100k songs),
most of it will end up in the deferred buffers. Filling the deferred
queue is very expensive currently, because a new buffer is allocated
for every client_write() operation. This may lead to long delays, and
the client might give up and disconnect meanwhile. This patch makes
MPD attempt to flush the deferred queue as often as possible, to work
around this problem. Due to the MPD 0.14 code freeze, we should not
optimize the buffering code now.
Over time mpdconf has evolved and has been maintained and contributed to by many different folks at different
times. Try to give it some unity. Attempt to clear up some language and make things crystal clear. Add more
examples. Use tabs when it makes sense. Make better borders. Remove obsolete options. Try to put more defaults
when it makes sense.
Make "secure" a log level different from "default". "secure" should be
right between "default" and "verbose". Map "default" to Glib's
"MESSAGE" log level.
When updating from a version before libcurl was used for streaming
support, this is confusing - streaming will work with the old version
(e.g. 0.13.2) but will give "no such file" errors with the new due to
the missing dependency. However, the missing dependency will not be
obvious when running the configure script.
There have been bug reports on MPD regarding 24 bit output via
libao/esd. The "ao" plugin does not attempt fall back to 16 bit
currently, and thus fails to play 24 bit audio (i.e. all mp3 files).
Make it always use 16 bit samples for now, until more bits are
well-tested.
The OS X output does not seem to support 24 bit audio in the way MPD
implements it currently. Fall back to 16 bit for now, and schedule
24 bit support on OS X for MPD 0.15.
MPD 0.13 and older followed all symbolic links. Although this can be
a security problem (as it has always been), 0.14 should offer the same
default behaviour as 0.13.
libsamplerate produces cracks in the sound output when the destination
buffer is too small. This is the case when pcm_convert_size() rounds
down. Use ceil(x) instead of floor(0.5+x) there to prevent a buffer
overrun.
