Preparing for simplifying and thus speeding up the dithering code:
moved dithering to a separate function which contains a trivial loop.
With this patch, only one sample is dithered at a time, but the
following patches will allow us to dither a whole block at a time,
without complicated buffer length checks.
Copy some code from aac_decode() to aac_stream_decode() and apply
necessary changes to allow streaming audio data. Both functions might
be merged later.
initAacBuffer() should really only initialize the buffer; currently,
it also reads data from the input stream and parses the header. All
of the AAC buffer code should probably be moved to a separate library
anyway.
Shifting from the buffer queue is a common operation, and should be
provided as a separate function. Move code to aac_buffer_shift() and
add a bunch of assertions.
When checking for EOF, we should not check whether the read request
has been fully satisified. The InputStream API does not guarantee
that readFromInputStream() always fills the whole buffer, if EOF is
not reached. Since there is the function inputStreamAtEOF() dedicated
for this purpose, we should use it for EOF checking after
readFromInputStream()==0.
Fill the AacBuffer even when nothing has been consumed yet. The
function should not check for consumed data, but for free space at the
end of the buffer.
The flag "ready" indicates whether the input stream is ready and it
has parsed all meta data. Previously, it was impossible for
decodeStart() to see the content type of HTTP input streams, because
at that time, the HTTP response wasn't parsed yet.
With the functions decoder_plugin_register() and
decoder_plugin_unregister(), decoder plugins can register a
"secondary" plugin, like the flac input plugin does this for
"oggflac".
"decoder plugin" is a better name than "input plugin", since the
plugin does not actually do the input - InputStream does. Also don't
use typedef, so we can forward-declare it if required.
PlayerControl.command replaces the old attributes play, stop, pause,
closeAudio, lockQueue, unlockQueue, seek. The main thread waits for
each command synchronously, so there can only be one command enabled
at a time anyway.
The wavpack decoder plugin implements a hack, and it needs the song
URL for that. This API (and the hack) should be revised later, but
add that function for now.
Since we want to hide mpd internals from the decoder plugins, the
plugins should not check dc->state whether they have already called
decoder_initialized(). Use a local variable to track that.
Some decoder commands are implemented in the decoder plugins, thus
they need to have an API call to signal that their current command has
been finished. Let them use the new decoder_command_finished()
instead of the internal dc_command_finished().
Another big patch which hides internal mpd APIs from decoder plugins:
decoder plugins regularly poll dc->command; expose it with a
decoder_api.h function.
Since we moved all PCM conversions to decoder_data(), the attribute
convState isn't being used anymore by the OutputBuffer code. Move it
to struct decoder.
InputPlugin is the API which is implemented by a decoder plugin. This
belongs to the public API/ABI, so move it to decoder_api.h. It will
later be renamed to something like "decoder_plugin".
Since we have merged dc->stop, dc->seek into one variable, we don't
have to check both conditions at a time; we can replace "!stop &&
!seek" with "none".
