This patch prepares support for floating point samples (and probably
other formats). It changes the meaning of the "bits" attribute from a
bit count to a symbolic value.
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.
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.
If an input_stream is not seekable, libaudiofile fails to play at all:
Audio File Library: unrecognized audio file format [error 0]
Since we know in advance whether the input_stream is seekable, just
refuse to play on a non-seekable stream.
The input_stream object should only be closed by the MPD core
(i.e. decoder_thread.c / decoder_run()). A decoder plugin which
attempts to close it will result in a segmentation fault.
The stream_decode() and file_decode() methods returned a boolean,
indicating whether they were able to decode the song. This is
redundant, since we already know that: if decoder_initialized() has
been called (and dc.state==DECODE), the plugin succeeded. Change both
methods to return void.
Don't pass the "seekable" flag with every decoder_data() invocation.
Since that flag won't change within the file, it is enough to pass it
to decoder_initialized() once per file.
A decoder_flush() invocation was missing in the FLAC plugin, resulting
in casual assertion failures due to a wrong assumption about the last
chunk's audio format. It's much easier to remove that decoder_flush()
function and make the decoder thread call ob_flush().
