"decoder plugin" is a better name than "input plugin", since the
plugin does not actually do the input - InputStream does. Also don't
use typedef, so we can forward-declare it if required.
Since we want to hide mpd internals from the decoder plugins, the
plugins should not check dc->state whether they have already called
decoder_initialized(). Use a local variable to track that.
Some decoder commands are implemented in the decoder plugins, thus
they need to have an API call to signal that their current command has
been finished. Let them use the new decoder_command_finished()
instead of the internal dc_command_finished().
Another big patch which hides internal mpd APIs from decoder plugins:
decoder plugins regularly poll dc->command; expose it with a
decoder_api.h function.
dc->audioFormat is set once by the decoder plugins before invoking
decoder_initialized(); hide dc->audioFormat and let the decoder pass
an AudioFormat pointer to decoder_initialized().
We are now beginning to remove direct structure accesses from the
decoder plugins. decoder_clear() and decoder_flush() mask two very
common buffer functions.
decoder_initialized() sets the state to DECODE_STATE_DECODE and wakes
up the player thread. It is called by the decoder plugin after its
internal initialization is finished. More arguments will be added
later to prevent direct accesses to the DecoderControl struct.
The decoder struct should later be made opaque to the decoder plugin,
because maintaining a stable struct ABI is quite difficult. The ABI
should only consist of a small number of stable functions.
dc_command_finished() is invoked by the decoder thread when it has
finished a command (sent by the player thread). It resets dc.command
and wakes up the player thread. This combination was used at a lot of
places, and by introducing this function, the code will be more
readable.
Much of the existing code queries all three variables sequentially.
Since only one of them can be set at a time, this can be optimized and
unified by merging all of them into one enum variable. Later, the
"command" checks can be expressed in a "switch" statement.
We had functions names varied between
outputBufferFoo, fooOutputBuffer, and output_buffer_foo
That was too confusing for my little brain to handle.
And the global variable was somehow named 'cb' instead of
the more obvious 'ob'...

All of our main singleton data structures are implicitly shared,
so there's no reason to keep passing them around and around in
the stack and making our internal API harder to deal with.

This at least makes the argument list to a lot of our plugin
functions shorter and removes a good amount of line nois^W^Wcode,
hopefully making things easier to read and follow.

I initially started to do a heavy rewrite that changed the way processes
communicated, but that was too much to do at once. So this change only
focuses on replacing the player and decode processes with threads and
using condition variables instead of polling in loops; so the changeset
itself is quiet small.
* The shared output buffer variables will still need locking
to guard against race conditions. So in this effect, we're probably
just as buggy as before. The reduced context-switching overhead of
using threads instead of processes may even make bugs show up more or
less often...
* Basic functionality appears to be working for playing local (and NFS)
audio, including:
play, pause, stop, seek, previous, next, and main playlist editing
* I haven't tested HTTP streams yet, they should work.
* I've only tested ALSA and Icecast. ALSA works fine, Icecast
metadata seems to get screwy at times and breaks song
advancement in the playlist at times.
* state file loading works, too (after some last-minute hacks with
non-blocking wakeup functions)
* The non-blocking (*_nb) variants of the task management functions are
probably overused. They're more lenient and easier to use because
much of our code is still based on our previous polling-based system.
* It currently segfaults on exit. I haven't paid much attention
to the exit/signal-handling routines other than ensuring it
compiles. At least the state file seems to work. We don't
do any cleanups of the threads on exit, yet.
* Update is still done in a child process and not in a thread.
To do this in a thread, we'll need to ensure it does proper
locking and communication with the main thread; but should
require less memory in the end because we'll be updating
the database "in-place" rather than updating a copy and
then bulk-loading when done.
* We're more sensitive to bugs in 3rd party libraries now.
My plan is to eventually use a master process which forks()
and restarts the child when it dies:

My plan is to eventually use a master process which forks()
and restarts the child when it dies:
master - just does waitpid() + fork() in a loop
\- main thread
\- decoder thread
\- player thread
At the beginning of every song, the main thread will set
a dirty flag and update the state file. This way, if we
encounter a song that triggers a segfault killing the
main thread, the master will start the replacement main
on the next song.
* The main thread still wakes up every second on select()
to check for signals; which affects power management.

This will make refactoring features easier, especially now that
pthreads support and larger refactorings are on the horizon.
Hopefully, this will make porting to other platforms (even
non-UNIX-like ones for masochists) easier, too.
os_compat.h will house all the #includes for system headers
considered to be the "core" of MPD. Headers for optional
features will be left to individual source files.

DECODE_STATE_STOP is always set as dc->state, and dc->stop
is always cleared. So handle it in decodeStart once rather
than doing it in every plugin.
While we're at it, fix a long-standing (but difficult to
trigger) bug in mpc_decode where we failed to return
if mpc_decoder_initialize() fails.

Both mp4 and (ogg)flac inputPlugins got HTTP inputStream support
later in the game, so their calls to sendDataToOutputBuffer()
didn't get updated to support buffering while the outputBuffer
was full. This fixes it.

Some compilers and linkers aren't smart enough to optimize this,
as global variables are implictly initialized to zero. As a
result, binaries are a bit smaller as more goes in the .bss and
less in the text section.

I'm checking for zero-size allocations and assert()-ing them,
so we can more easily get backtraces and debug problems, but we'll
also allow -DNDEBUG people to live on the edge if they wish.
We do not rely on errno when checking for OOM errors because
some implementations of malloc do not set it, and malloc
is commonly overridden by userspace wrappers.
I've spent some time looking through the source and didn't find any
obvious places where we would explicitly allocate 0 bytes, so we
shouldn't trip any of those assertions.
We also avoid allocating zero bytes because C libraries don't
handle this consistently (some return NULL, some not); and it's
dangerous either way.
