There were a few macOS related bug reports on the bug tracker which
have been open for years without a volunteer caring for them. The
GitHub actions build has also been broken for a long time due to bugs
in the ancient LLVM toolchain shipped with macOS, making macOS an
unsuitable non-Linux target for testing MPD's portability.
All of this makes macOS support an annoying liability for me. To
avoid more frustration, I'm hereby dropping macOS support completely
from MPD. Maybe this causes enough pain for a new maintainer to
spawn, but maybe nobody cares, so... let's see.
Add an option to the UPnP database plugin to configure which interface
is used by upnp to discover servers.
upnp by default selects the first interface that is not loopback, which
in some cases might not be the desired interface. For example if wanting
to access a DLNA server over a VPN connection.
The "interface" option can now be set to the name of the desired
interface to achieve this.
The default behaviour remains unchanged.
Explanation
This adds support for DOP using the PcmExport function if the macro
ENABLE_DSD is defined. If enabled within the config-file using "dop",
the boolean dop_setting will be true. If DSD input is encountered and
the setting is on, it is checked whether the oss-device supports the
required samplerate. If that is the case, dop_active is set to true
and conversion of the input is prevented. If the sample rate is not
supported, conversion to S32 is requested. When playing back, the
PcmExport is used to pack the incoming stream into PCM. Reasoning
This is required for OSs without the required driver support for
native DSD playback that also have no ALSA. Mainly *BSD users are the
target audience for this functionality, as ALSA here is only a proxy
without full functionality. Requirements
DAC that supports the DOP standard
Building with OSS, DSD and S32-Format
Supported Formats / Required PCM Formats
DSF, DFF and WavPack-DSD will work.
DSD64, 1 Channel -> S24:176.4kHz (untested, lack of time / missing samples)
DSD64, 2 Channel -> S24:352.8kHz
DSD64, 4 Channel -> S24:705.6kHz (untested, lmissing equipment)
DSD128, 1 Channel -> S24:352.8kHz (untested, lack of time / missing samples)
DSD128, 2 Channel -> S24:705.6kHz
DSD256, 1 Channel -> S24:705.6kHz (untested, lack of time / missing samples)
Changes
inclusion of required files
adding new domain for logging
adding dop_satisfied private function
adding required member variables for storing dop state and for dop-packing
adding dop boolean parameter to many functions that are required to act a little differently when dop is active
Testing
This has been tested to work with a Sabaj Da2 on FreeBSD, where the
red status indicator LED clearly shows that DSD playback is taking
place, instead of purple for "hi-res" which is seen when converting.
Issues
I have not tested this with S24 and right now AFMT_S32_NE is
required. If not defined, ENABLE_DSD will be undef'ed. This will be
addressed in a bit, however no DAC which supports DOP but not 32Bit is
known to me. Also, AFMT_S32_NE is not defined when building on FreeBSD
which is why this is just blatantly defined in the file at the moment.
Additionally, the new dop-option is not added into any documentation
whatsoever.
refactors GenerateOggSerial into a generic GenerateSerial
utility, under the util lib.
libFLAC may be encoded without Ogg support. If Ogg support is disabled,
libFLAC will still export Ogg-related methods (like setting a serial
number), and throw a runtime error when initializing an Ogg stream.
GenerateOggSerial does not depend on libogg. Refactoring it into
a generic GenerateSerial prevents having to add build-time checks
for libogg within the FLAC encoder plugin.
This enables the JACK output plugin on Windows, but doesn't link
against libjack64.dll, instead loads the DLL at runtime with
LoadLibrary(). This kludge avoids the extremely fragile JACK shared
memory protocol by using the system's libjack64.dll, without requiring
the same DLL at build time.
