Use the plugin instead of the glue code in normalize.c. This is used
wrapped inside a "autoconv" filter, to enable normalization for all
input file formats.
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.
Drop the required GLib version from 2.16 to 2.12, because many current
systems still don't have GLib 2.16. This requires several new
compatibility functions in glib_compat.h.
Use GMutex/GCond instead of the notify library. Manually lock the
player_control object before accessing the protected attributes. Use
the GCond object to notify the player thread and the main thread.
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.
I'm not sure about the advantages of calling g_set_application_name(),
because I don't use a task manager (except for ps and kill), but it
sure doesn't hurt.
Accidently, MPD has been using several GLib 2.16 functions for a
while, and nobody noticed yet. To simplify the code base, let's bump
the minimum GLib version for MPD to 2.16. That version is old enough,
and it's reasonable to expect users to have it.
This patch implements a light-weight inotify library, and watches all
directories below the music directory. It updates all directories
where files changed after a delay of 5 seconds.
The "group" configuration option is similar to "user" as it
sets user set what group MPD shall run as. With "user"
option, MPD changed GID to the GID of the user, however,
more control could be desired.
Moreover, the patch changes the way of checking whether no
setuid(2)/setgid(2) is required -- previously user names
were compered, now UID and GIDs are compered (ie. the one we
already have (getuid(2)/getgid(2)) with the one we want to
change to).
The glue_*() functions act as a glue between MPD's main() function and
its libraries. They handle disabled features, and pass validated
configuration options.
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.
Turn the music_pipe into a simple music_chunk queue. The music_chunk
allocation code is moved to music_buffer, and is now managed with a
linked list instead of a ring buffer. Two separate music_pipe objects
are used by the decoder for the "current" and the "next" song, which
greatly simplifies the cross-fading code.
Export the "g_playlist" variable, and pass it to all playlist
functions. This way, we can split playlist.c easier into separate
parts. The code which initializes the singleton variable is moved to
playlist_global.c.
When the update thread is started before MPD has forked (for
daemonization), it is killed, because threads do not survive a fork().
This induces an inconsistent state where MPD won't start any update
thread at all, because it thinks the thread is already running.
Reimplemented the legacy mixer configuration: copy the deprecated
configuration values into the audio_output section. Don't configure
the mixers twice (once for the audio_output, and a second time for the
legacy values).
This requires volume_init() to be called before initAudioDriver().
