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.
Added the "fd_util" library, which attempts to use the new thread-safe
Linux system calls pipe2(), accept4() and the options O_CLOEXEC,
SOCK_CLOEXEC. Without these, it falls back to FD_CLOEXEC, which is
not thread safe.
This is particularly important for the "pipe" output plugin (and
others, such as JACK/PulseAudio), because we were heavily leaking file
descriptors to child processes.
This has been replaced by the last.fm playlist plugin. The input
plugin has never worked well, and was just a playground to experiment
with the last.fm radio protocol.
When the connection is lost while buffering, the CURL input plugin may
enter an endless loop, because it does not check the EOF condition.
This patch makes fill_buffer() return success only if there's at least
one buffer, which is enough of a check.x
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.
The "off_t" type may change when you enable or disable large file
support on 32 bit platforms. This caused severe ABI problems within
MPD when we enabled LFS for the first time: two sources included
config.h and sys/types.h in different order, and had different off_t
sizes - leading to memory corruption because of ABI incompatibility.
This patch attempts to get rid of all public "off_t" uses: it removes
"off_t" from the input_stream ABI/API, and switches to GLib's 64 bit
"goffset" type. This may hurt 32 bit embedded platforms a tiny bit,
but that's not even measurable.
When a received chunk of data has only icy-metadata, there was no
usable data left for input_curl_read() to return, and thus it returned
0 bytes. "0" however is a special value for "end of file" or
"error". This patch makes input_curl_read() read more data from the
socket, until the read request can be fulfilled (or until there's
really EOF).
Added a patch to flush out the last.fm input plugin slightly. It
basically turns it into a wrapper for the appropriate plugin. Most
notably metadata is now extracted.
If a file is removed the library, next time mpd will try to play it it
will result in an error 'ERROR: problems decoding some/file.ogg'.

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.
The lastfm input plugin enables MPD to play lastfm:// URLs. This
plugin is not complete yet: it plays only the first song in the
last.fm playlist, and the playlist parser isn't even implemented
properly.
