If our `ring_buffer` is smaller than the ALSA-PCM buffer (if the
latter has more than the 4 periods we allocate), it can happen that
the start threshold is crossed and ALSA switches to
`SND_PCM_STATE_RUNNING`, but the `ring_buffer` is empty. In this
case, MPDD will generate silence, even though the ALSA-PCM buffer has
enough data. This causes stuttering (#420).
This commit amends an older workaround for a similar problem (commit
e08598e7e2) by adding a snd_pcm_avail()
check, and only generate silence if there is less than one period of
data in the ALSA-PCM buffer.
Fixes#420
The method Cancel() assumes that the `period_buffer` must be empty
when `active==false`, but that is not the case when Play() fails.
Of course the assertion in Cancel() is not 100% correct, but I decided
to rather fix this in LockCaughtError() because the `period_buffer`
should only be accessed from within the RTIO thread, and this is the
only code path where `active` can be set to `false` with a non-empty
`period_buffer`.
Fixes#423
When `metadata_sent` is `false`, the plugin assumes there is metadata
which must be sent, even if no metadata page was passed to the plugin.
Initializing it to `true` avoids dereferencing this `nullptr`.
Fixes#412
If the output is already open, the `current_chunk` pointer may be
bogus and out of sync with `SharedPipeConsumer::chunk`, leading to an
assertion failure in `SharedPipeConsumer::Consume()`.
Fixes#411
`AVCodecParameters` contains values from the codec detected by
avformat_find_stream_info(), but after avcodec_open2(), a different
codec might be selected with a different `AVSampleFormat`. This leads
to misinterpretation of data returned from FFmpeg, leading to random
noise or silence.
This was observed with FFmpeg 4.0.2 and a TS container file containing
MP2. A mp3-float codec was detected returning `AV_SAMPLE_FMT_FLTP`,
but finally the `mpegaudiodec_fixed.c` was used, returning
`AV_SAMPLE_FMT_S16`.
By using the audio format from `AVCodecContext`, we ensure that MPD
and FFmpeg always agree on the actual audio format in the buffer.
This removes the FFmpeg bug workaround from commit e1b032cbad which I
assume is obsolete after 7 years.
Fixes#380
The protocol documentation says that the difference between `find` and
`search` is that `search` is case insensitive, but that's only half
the truth: `search` also searches for sub strings instead of matching
the whole string. This part is undocumented and unfortunate, but at
this point, we can't change it.
However leaking this surprising behavior to the new filter expressions
was a bad idea; the "==" operator should never match substrings. For
people who need that, we should add a new operator.
Meson 0.47.1 suffers from a bug which breaks linking the MPD
executable because the `-lpthread` flag is not propagated from our
`thread.a`.

Thanks to C++14, we can declare and fill variables inside `constexpr`
functions. This means me can stop make assumptions on the `struct`
layouts without losing `constexpr`.
Closes#393
Bugs in libroar which broke the MPD build have been annoying me for
quite some time, and the newest bug has now hit my main build machine:
https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/377
Problem is the usage of the typedef `_IO_off64_t` in libroar's
`vio_stdio.h`:
int roar_vio_to_stdio_lseek (void *__cookie, _IO_off64_t *__pos, int __w);
This `_IO_off64_t` is an internal implementation detail of glibc and
was removed in version 2.28. Nobody must ever use it. Why the ****
did the RoarAudio developers use it? Not using internal typedefs
isn't exactly rocket science.
This annoys me enough to finally remove the plugin. Anyway, I've
never heard of anybody using RoarAudio, so my best guess is that
nobody will notice.
The compile-time calculation for `factor` overflows because `1<<31`
cannot be represented by `int`. By casting to `uintmax_t` first, we
can avoid this overflow.
Closes#380
Grouping in the "list" command was completely broken from the start,
unlike "count group". I have no idea what I have been thinking when I
wrote commit ae178c77bd, but it didn't
make any sense.
This commit is a rewrite of the feature.
For clients to be able to detect this feature, this commit also
increments the protocol version.
