This patch prepares support for floating point samples (and probably
other formats). It changes the meaning of the "bits" attribute from a
bit count to a symbolic value.
After we've been hit by Large File Support problems several times in
the past week (which only occur on 32 bit platforms, which I don't
have), this is yet another attempt to fix the issue.
When using wave encoder with httpd audio output mpd can input this stream via http and audiofile decoder.
This for example opens simple way to configure lossless audio streaming port(like jack or pulseaudio does but without overhead).
Another possibility can be using it for gathering raw data for visualization plugins (If sync issue will be resolved)
This encoder plugin is a replacement for the LAME encoder plugin for
those who prefer a "free" (non-patent encumbered) encoder library.
Most of the plugin source code is copied from the LAME encoder plugin,
since the LAME and TwoLAME APIs are nearly the same.
When a new tag is set, end the current stream and begin a new one.
Use vorbis_analysis_headerout() to write a full ogg header. This
fixes a problem with icecast: after a song change in MPD, icecast
stops forwarding ogg packets to its clients.
libvorbis goes into a very long loop if we try to add data after a
flush was invoked by vorbis_analysis_wrote(0). This seems to be a
problem with the internal end-of-stream marker. Thus, we cannot reuse
the vorbis_dsp_state object.
Converted the ogg_page attribute from the vorbis_encoder struct to a
local function of vorbis_encoder_read(). This simplifies some code,
because we don't need to check the page anymore before using it.
Add the "flush" flag, and defer the ogg_stream_flush() call. Call
ogg_stream_pageout() or ogg_stream_flush() (depending on the "flush"
flag) in vorbis_encoder_read(). This prevents the ogg_page from
getting overwritten by consecutive ogg_stream_pageout() calls.
This updates the copyright header to all be the same, which is
pretty much an update of where to mail request for a copy of the GPL
and the years of the MPD project. This also puts all committers under
'The Music Player Project' umbrella. These entries should go
individually in the AUTHORS file, for consistancy.
