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.
With these methods, an output plugin can allocate some global
resources only if it is actually enabled. The method enable() is
called after daemonization, which allows for more sophisticated
resource allocation during that method.
If nothing has changed since the last save, don't save the state
file. Saving will spin up the hard drive, which is undesirable on
hosts where MPD is idling in background.
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.
time() is not a monotonic timer, and MPD might get confused by clock
skews. clock_gettime() provides a monotonic clock, but is not
portable to non-POSIX systems (i.e. Windows). This patch uses GLib's
GTimer API, which aims to be portable.
The output_command library provides a command interface to the audio
outputs. It assumes the input comes from an untrusted source
(i.e. the client) and verifies all parameters.
