When all plugins have failed, MPD used to fall back to the "mad"
decoder plugin, to handle those radio streams without a Content-Type
response header. This however leads to unexpected results (garbage
being played) when the stream isn't really mp3. Since we care little
about "bad" streams, we shouldn't have hacks which have bad side
effects.
Let's get rid of this hack now! Only try to "mad" plugin if there was
no match at all (Content-Type, path suffix) and no other plugin has
been tried.
When enabling the pulse device fails, clear po->mainloop after
pa_threaded_mainloop_free() has finished. This is important for the
assertions.
Two wrong g_free() calls were also removed.
To allow libavformat to detect the format of the input file, append
the suffix of the input file to the URL of the virtual stream. This
specifically enables the "shorten" codec, which is supported by
libavformat/raw.c, detected only by the suffix.
The patch "input/file: don't fall back to parent directory" introduced
a regression: when trying to play a CUE track, decoder_run_song()
tries to open the file as a stream first, but this fails, because the
path is virtual.
This patch fixes decoder_run_song() (instead of reverting the previous
patch) to accept input_stream_open() failures if the song is a local
file. It passes the responsibility to handle non-existing files to
the decoder's file_decode() method.
This function replaces the replay_gain_info parameter for
decoder_data(). This allows the decoder to announce replay gain
changes, instead of having to pass the same object over and over.
Another quirk fixed: after the last chunk of a song has been played,
the "elapsed_time" variable is set to the chunk's time stamp. When
the client receives the PLAYER idle event and asks MPD for the current
time stamp, MPD will return the last time stamp of the previous song
when it hasn't played the first chunk of the current song yet.
This fixes a regression in the patch "return multiple tag values per
song": even when the song has values for the specified tag type, the
empty string gets added to the set, because the "return" was removed.
This patch adds a flag which remembers whether at least one value was
found.
Major API redesign: don't let the caller allocate the input_stream
object. Let each input plugin allocate its own (derived/extended)
input_stream pointer. The "data" attribute can now be removed, and
all input plugins simply cast the input_stream pointer to their own
structure (with an "struct input_stream base" as the first attribute).
This patch changes the following decoder plugins to implement
stream_tag() instead of tag_dup():
faad, ffmpeg, mad, modplug, mp4ff, mpcdec, oggflac
This simplifies their code, because they do not need to take care of
opening/closing the stream.
