Some ALSA capture devices can have very large buffers, holding 10
seconds or more audio. Using the maximum buffer size with such
devices leads to unacceptably large, and unnecessary, latency.
Also, some ALSA drivers (e.g. HDA Intel PCH) report an invalid
maximum period size, and the period size that mpd calculates from
the maximum buffer size results in "Invalid argument" error when
applying the hw_params. Note that the "default" capture device on
many cards includes the "dsnoop" plugin which imposes a buffer
size of 16384 frames, so that "alsa://" works OK but
"alsa://plughw" or "alsa://hw" both fail.
Limit the maximum buffer time for ALSA input devices to a more useable
2 seconds, thereby avoiding both the above problems.
6d91b5c7b2 ("fix double promotions") changed
how LAME peak values are decoded, producing large incorrect values that
cause some MP3 files to play silently.
Restore the original decode from MAD fixed-point format to double and
document what it's doing.
Fixes#1823
This eliminates all `Storage::GetInfo()` calls from
`UpdateWalk::PurgeDeletedFromDirectory()` and instead uses a "marker"
field to mark items that have been visited; later, all unmarked items
can be deleted.
This eliminates a lot of redundant I/O which is noticable with the
`curl` storage plugin (i.e. WebDAV).
Let OnHeaders() check the status.
The status checking code was added by commit 4f021cbced in 2011,
but in 2008, commit a8e81326d0 enabled `CURLOPT_FAILONERROR`, which
means the status checking code never had any effect.
This allows `LoadExcludeListOrLog()` to hide boring "404 Not Found"
log messages via `IsFileNotFound()`.
Without clearing all `in_playlist` flags, the songs will never be
revealed again if they were hidden once by a CUE sheet, not even after
the CUE sheet gets deleted or modified.

This should prevent ffmpeg from taking priority over the gme plugin.
The ffmpeg plugin is more buggy than gme.
One of the prominent bugs of preferring ffmpeg over gme is that ffmpeg
cannot seek SAP files while gme can. This should prevent that from
happening.
By default, if the parent of a process dies, the process gets SIGHUP
and is supposed to shut down. This however doesn't work for MPD,
because MPD redefines SIGHUP with a different meaning (like most
daemons do).
To work around this, we configure the kernel to send SIGTERM instead
of SIGHUP.

Fixes a busy loop in BufferingInputStream::RunThreadLocked() because
the method never learns that seeking is ignored, even though the HTTP
stream is already broken and can never be read; nobody cared to check
for errors.

The original sidplay project has been mostly unmaintained for nearly
12 years, and the most recent release was in 2016, while the
libsidplayfp project has been actively maintained all the time.
