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.
When there are chunks which are not yet finished,
audio_output_all_check() returned the size of its music pipe minus
one. I can't remember exactly why I subtracted 1 from the return
value, it must have had something to do with a former meaning of this
function. Now it induces assertion failures.
When the audio outputs are closed, also clear the audio format. If we
don't do this, every call to audio_output_all_update() will open the
device, even if it's meant to be paused.
Instead of passing individual buffers to audio_output_all_play(), pass
music_chunk objects. Append all those chunks asynchronously to a
music_pipe instance. All output threads may then read chunks from
this pipe. This reduces MPD's internal latency by an order of
magnitude.
Sometimes, audio_output_update() isn't called for the second device
when the first one has succeeded. The patch
"audio_output_all_update() returns bool" broke it, because the boolean
evaluation ended after the first "true".
time() is not a monotonic timer, and MPD might get confused by clock
skews. clock_gettime() provides a monotonic clock, but is not
portable to non-POSIX systems (i.e. Windows). This patch uses GLib's
GTimer API, which aims to be portable.
When MPD explicitly starts playing, ignore the "REOPEN_AFTER" timeout.
This timeout was useful when MPD attempted to reopen a failed device
over and over, but it confuses users when they explicitly tell MPD to
start playing, while MPD insists to wait for the 10 seconds to pass.
