On Windows only daemonize_close_stdin() function does
something. Other functions are either empty or generate an
error. Those have been moved to header file and declared
static inline so compiler can remove the call all together.
The functions were not "const" (they examined values pointed
by arguments passed to them, quoting gcc's doc: "Note that
a function that has pointer arguments and examines the data
pointed to must _not_ be declared 'const'.") but rather
"pure" and still not all of them.
Note also, that even some of the functions declared "pure"
are not pure, however, due to reasons stated in source code
the attribute has been kept.
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.
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.
This encoder plugin is a replacement for the LAME encoder plugin for
those who prefer a "free" (non-patent encumbered) encoder library.
Most of the plugin source code is copied from the LAME encoder plugin,
since the LAME and TwoLAME APIs are nearly the same.
According to the ID3 2.4 documentation, "TOPE" is "Original
artist/performer", not "performer". Removed "TOPE" support. Instead,
map TPE3 ("Conductor/performer refinement") and TPE4 ("Interpreted,
remixed, or otherwise modified by") to "performer".
The tag_id3.c library supports both the documented "TSO2" tag, and the
inofficial TXXX/ALBUMARTISTSORT.
The Vorbis/FLAC decoder automatically supports the new tag, without
further change.
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.
This mixer plugin may be used instead of the traditional global
software mixer. It integrates with the "volume" filter plugin, and
can control the software volume of an audio output which has no
hardware mixer.
Converted the range checks in volume_level_change() to assertions.
Changed all volume types to "unsigned", expect for those which must be
able to indicate error (-1).
When song->mtime was not initialized properly, it was revealed that
strftime() might crash when gmtime_r() returns NULL due to an invalid
time_t input value.
