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.
neaacdec.h declares all arguments as "unsigned long", but internally
expects uint32_t pointers. This triggers gcc warnings on 64 bit
architectures. To avoid that, make configure.ac detect whether we're
using Debian's corrected headers or the original libfaad headers. In
any case, pass a pointer to an uint32_t, conditionally casted to
"unsigned long*".
MPD used to have a copy of the mp4ff library. Since that has been
removed, AAC suport was disabled when there was no libmp4ff. Separate
the libmp4ff test, and enable AAC support no matter if libmp4ff is
available.
MPD's HTTP client code has always been broken, no matter how effort
was put into fixing it. Replace it with libcurl, which is known to be
quite stable. This adds a fat library dependency, but only for people
who need streaming.
Several clients refuse to accept the protocol version "0.14~git",
because they think it is malformed. This is clearly a client bug, but
we cannot wait for all clients to fix this bug right now. For now,
change the version back to "0.14.0".
For testers, it should be clear that they're not using version 0.14.0
final, but an inofficial intermediate version from the git repository.
The protocol version is set to the same string, since the protocol is
subject to change during MPD development.
MPD shouldn't integrate sources of other libraries. Since libmp4ff is
part of libfaad, we should remove the old copy from src/mp4ff and link
with the current version from libfaad instead.
Since ffmpeg svn r12865, you have to include libavcodec/avcodec.h
instead of avcodec.h. This cannot be checked at compile time, instead
we have to add a check to configure.ac. Viliam's original ffmpeg
plugin was based on the newer ffmpeg library, while my Debian
installation had the older version. My attempt to correct his include
statements wasn't correct after all.
With heavy use of conditionals, I broke Makefile.am for the ancient
automake version 1.6. Instead of supporting this automake version
forever, I'm removing support for it now. Since automake isn't
required on the build machine, nobody should have a serious problem
with that.
By default, glibc 2.8 hides struct ucred behind the _GNU_SOURCE
macro. I don't want to enable that globally, because it may encourage
the use of non-portable functions. Test if "struct ucred" is
available, and enable _GNU_SOURCE if required.
For details about that issue, see glib's bug database:

GLib is a nice and portable utility library. We are going to use it
from now on, and eliminate a lot of duplicated code from MPD. Why
invent the wheel again and again?
