The smartstop feature is a way to tell mpd to stop playing after
current song.
This patche provides:
- 'state' command returns 'smartstop' state (1 or 0)
- 'smartstop' can activate or not the smartstop state
- when song is terminated, mpd stops playing and smartstop is set to 0
The move command now accepts a range for the first argument, in the same
form as other range commands, e.g. move 15:17 3. The first song in the
range is placed at the destination position. Note that as with other
range commands, the range is inclusive on the left only; this example
would move only songs 15 and 16, not 17.

Let's get rid of the "shout" plugin, and the awfully complicated
icecast daemon setup! MPD can do better if it's doing the HTTP server
stuff on its own. This new plugin has several advantages:
- easier to set up - only one daemon, no password settings, no mount
settings
- MPD controls the encoder and thus already knows the packet
boundaries - icecast has to parse them
- MPD doesn't bother to encode data while nobody is listening
This implementation is very experimental (no header parsing, ignores
request URI, no icy-metadata, ...). It should be able to suport
several encoders in parallel in the future (with different bit rates,
different codec, ...), to make MPD the perfect streaming server. Once
MPD gets multi-player support, we can even mount several different
radio stations on one server.
Even if libsamplerate support is enabled, compile the fallback
resampler. When the user specifies the option
"samplerate_converter=internal", it is chosen in favor of
libsamplerate. This may help users with a weak FPU who don't want to
compile a custom MPD from source, because the fallback resampler does
not use floating point operations.
Recursive Makefiles are inefficient and error prone (no proper way to
declare dependencies). Since there's no disadvantage in having one
single Makefile, let's do it.
The "sticker" command allows clients to query or manipulate the
sticker database. This patch implements the sub-commands "get" and
"set"; more will follow soon (enumeration), as well as extended
"lsinfo" / "playlistinfo" versions.
"Stickers" are pieces of information attached to existing MPD objects
(e.g. song files, directories, albums). Clients can create arbitrary
name/value pairs. MPD itself does not assume any special meaning in
them.
