.. instead of doing it after seeking. After seeking, the command had
no effect, because CheckDecoderStartup() waits for all outputs to
finish. This caused a very long delay while seeking and switching
songs (https://bugs.musicpd.org/view.php?id=4534).

mpd FTBFS on Alpha with a failure in the test suite [1]:
FAIL: test/test_byte_reverse
============================
.F...
!!!FAILURES!!!
Test Results:
Run: 4 Failures: 1 Errors: 0
1) test: ByteReverseTest::TestByteReverse2 (F) line: 58 test/test_byte_reverse.cxx
assertion failed
- Expression: strcmp(result, (const char *)dest) == 0
This occurs because the test suite (in test/test_byte_reversal.cxx)
allocates static char arrays and passes the char arrays to functions
whose respective arguments were declared to be uint16_t *, etc., in
the main code.
This is in the realm of undefined behaviour on architectures with
strict memory alignment requirements. Although the test only fails
on Alpha (because Alpha has a particular CPU load instruction that
gcc likes to use to add bugs ..., ahem, optimise the code on the
assumption of alignment) it is potentially a latent bug for other
architectures with strict alignment requirements.
Since the code is compiled with the c++11 standard I attach a patch
that modifies the test suite to align the non-compliant strings with
the alignas() attribute. The test suite now passes on Alpha with
that patch.
Cheers

This seems to be caused by a lacking include, fixed by the below patch.
I'm unsure what made this appear now, though, compiler and toolchain
libraries seem to be the same upstream versions that built 0.19.14-1
just fine in late March.
When a reference counter is at its limit, don't allocate a new
TagPoolSlot - that would result in many TagPoolSlot instances with
ref==1. This in turn would make the linked list very very large,
which means quadratic runtime for many operations.
There were two ways this could fail:
1. division by zero when sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE)==0
2. mmap() failure because the size parameter is not aligned to page
size
Neither ever happened: sysconf() never fails, and the only caller
passes a size that is already aligned. Phew.
Apparently all other C libraries are not compatible with "constexpr".
Those which are not will get a performance penalty, but at least they
work at all.
