This is a MPD 0.16 regression: when playing a 24 bit file, the switch
to 16 bit was made only partially, after mBytesPerPacket and
mBytesPerFrame had already been applied.
That means mBytesPerFrame referred to 24 bit, and mBitsPerChannel
referred to 16 bits. Of course, that cannot work.
Should be safe on OS X 10.4 (32-bit), since Apple's OSStatus boils
down to "signed long", and g_set_error() takes gint, which is really
just "int". Assigning "signed long" to "int" on 32-bit Unix should be
just fine, since both are signed 32-bit ints.
No idea if this is safe on 64-bit OS X.
Add new config parameter 'device' to audio_output type "osx":
- if not supplied or set to "default", open default device
- if set to "system", open system device
- otherwise 'device' should be an audio device name: mpd will find and
open the specified audio device, falling back to the default
device if it's not found
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.
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.
Use GLib's GError library for reporting output device failures.
Note that some init() methods don't clean up properly after a failure,
but that's ok for now, because the MPD core will abort anyway.
Don't call AudioOutputUnitStart() in the play() method, do it after
the device has been opened. We can eliminate the "started" property
now, because the device is always started when it's open.
audio_output_get_name() has been removed, which was the only function
left in output_api.h. The output plugin doesn't need the audio_output
object at all, remove the parameter from the init() method.
The old API required an output plugin to not return until all data
passed to the play() method is consumed. Some output plugins have to
loop to fulfill that requirement, and may block during that. Simplify
these, by letting them consume only part of the buffer: make play()
return the length of the consumed data.
Now that I've found this nice function in the GLib docs, we can
finally remove our custom sleep function. Still all those callers of
g_usleep() have to be migrated one day to use events, instead of
regular polling.
On some platforms, g_free() must be used for memory allocated by
GLib. This patch intends to correct a lot of occurrences, but is
probably not complete.
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.
