[Unfortunately,] @top_srcdir@ is replaced by the package's top-level
directory relative to the directory of the .in file being processed,
e.g. if you unpack the MPD source to /usr/src/mpd, and build it in the
same directory, @top_srcdir@/src/ in doc/doxygen.conf.in will be re-
placed by "../src/", and, as doxygen is invoked from the top directory,
is will expect the source code in /usr/src/src/, which is obviously
wrong.
To work around this problem, this patch changes @top_srcdir@ to
@abs_top_srcdir@, which expands to the absolute path of the top source
directory[1].

To demonstrate the new I/O thread. libsoup is well-integrated into
the GLib main loop, which made this plugin pretty easy to write.
As a side effect, we have to initialize the I/O thread in all debug
programs that use the input API.
This patch fixes a typo in doc/user about playlist plugins.
Its in the top commit in my repository in a branch called 'doc_fix':

Using libffado, to play on firewire audio devices.
Warning: this plugin was not tested successfully. I just couldn't
keep libffado2 from crashing. Use at your own risk.
For details, see my Debian bug reports:

Added support for a new optional configuration setting for the httpd output
named "bind_to_address". Setting it to a specific IP address (v4 or v6) will
cause the httpd output to bind to that address exclusively. Supporting
multiple addresses in parallel is future work.
This implements the feature requests #2998 and #2646.
Did you ever accidently click "stop" while feeding a radio station?
This option sets the output device to "pause" to disable the "close"
method. It falls back to "pause" then, which is specific to the
plugin. Some plugins implement it by feeding silence.
Add an option for each audio output which enables the use of the
hardware mixer, instead of the software volume code.
This is hardware specific, and assumes linear volume control. This is
not the case for hardware mixers which were tested, making this patch
somewhat useless, but we will use it to experiment with the settings,
to find a good solution.
Same as the previous patch: create up to 16 configured source ports.
The plugin tries to do its best at guessing the right combination for
the given input file, the number of source and destination ports.
jack_client_new() is deprecated. This requires libjack 0.100
(released nearly 5 years ago). We havn't been testing older libjack
versions anyway.
As a side effect, there is the new option "autostart".
The recorder plugin writes audio played by MPD to a file. This may be
useful for recording radio streams.
This implementation is incomplete, because support for tags is
missing, and MPD should be able to record each track to a different
file.
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).
Since version 0.14, MPD has been logging to standard error instead of
standard output. The option name should reflect that. The old option
continues to work, we will remove it in a future MPD release.
Do all the software volume stuff inside each output thread, not in the
player thread. This allows one software mixer per output device, and
also allows the user to configure the mixer type (hardware or
software) for each audio output.
This moves the global "mixer_type" setting into the "audio_output"
section, deprecating the "mixer_enabled" flag.
Some clients have visual feedback for "database update is running".
Using the "database" idle event is unreliable, because it is only
emitted when the database was actually modified. This patch adds the
"update" event, which is emitted when the update is started, and again
when the update is finished, disregarding whether it has been
modified.
- introduce a section explaining the mpd.conf format, as done in the man page:
is it better to re-explain it here or ointing the user to the man page,
avoiding information dupplication?
- reorganizze some sections of the manual to give them a linear aspect...
