libwrap is an obscure artefact from a past long ago, when source IP
address meant something.
And its API is "interesting"; it requires the application to expose
two global variables `allow_severity` and `deny_severity`. This led
to bug #437. I don't want to declare those variables; instead, I'd
like to remove libwrap support.
Closes#437
This fixes a problem which caused a failure with snd_pcm_writei()
because snd_pcm_drain() had already been called in the previous
iteration. This commit makes sure that snd_pcm_drain() is only called
after the final snd_pcm_writei() call.
This fixes discarded samples at the end of playback.
If our `ring_buffer` is smaller than the ALSA-PCM buffer (if the
latter has more than the 4 periods we allocate), it can happen that
the start threshold is crossed and ALSA switches to
`SND_PCM_STATE_RUNNING`, but the `ring_buffer` is empty. In this
case, MPDD will generate silence, even though the ALSA-PCM buffer has
enough data. This causes stuttering (#420).
This commit amends an older workaround for a similar problem (commit
e08598e7e2) by adding a snd_pcm_avail()
check, and only generate silence if there is less than one period of
data in the ALSA-PCM buffer.
Fixes#420
The method Cancel() assumes that the `period_buffer` must be empty
when `active==false`, but that is not the case when Play() fails.
Of course the assertion in Cancel() is not 100% correct, but I decided
to rather fix this in LockCaughtError() because the `period_buffer`
should only be accessed from within the RTIO thread, and this is the
only code path where `active` can be set to `false` with a non-empty
`period_buffer`.
Fixes#423
When `metadata_sent` is `false`, the plugin assumes there is metadata
which must be sent, even if no metadata page was passed to the plugin.
Initializing it to `true` avoids dereferencing this `nullptr`.
Fixes#412
If the output is already open, the `current_chunk` pointer may be
bogus and out of sync with `SharedPipeConsumer::chunk`, leading to an
assertion failure in `SharedPipeConsumer::Consume()`.
Fixes#411
`AVCodecParameters` contains values from the codec detected by
avformat_find_stream_info(), but after avcodec_open2(), a different
codec might be selected with a different `AVSampleFormat`. This leads
to misinterpretation of data returned from FFmpeg, leading to random
noise or silence.
This was observed with FFmpeg 4.0.2 and a TS container file containing
MP2. A mp3-float codec was detected returning `AV_SAMPLE_FMT_FLTP`,
but finally the `mpegaudiodec_fixed.c` was used, returning
`AV_SAMPLE_FMT_S16`.
By using the audio format from `AVCodecContext`, we ensure that MPD
and FFmpeg always agree on the actual audio format in the buffer.
This removes the FFmpeg bug workaround from commit e1b032cbad which I
assume is obsolete after 7 years.
