Pass audio_output objects around instead of void pointers. This will
give some more control to the plugin, and prepares for non-blocking
audio outputs.
The output thread could hang indefinitely after finishing CANCEL,
because it could have missed the signal while the output was not
unlocked in ao_command_finished().
This patch removes the wait() call after CANCEL, and adds the flag
"allow_play" instead. While this flag is set, playback is skipped.
With this flag, there will not be any excess wait() call after the
pipe has been cleared.
This patch fixes a bug that causes mpd to discontinue playback after
seeking, due to the race condition described above.
Don't add it to the filter chain, because we need to apply replay gain
before cross-fading with the next song. Add a second replay_gain
filter which is used for the song being faded in (chunk->other).
Did you ever accidently click "stop" while feeding a radio station?
This option sets the output device to "pause" to disable the "close"
method. It falls back to "pause" then, which is specific to the
plugin. Some plugins implement it by feeding silence.
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.
After CANCEL, the output thread waits for another signal before it
continues playback, to synchronize with the caller. There were some
situations where this signal wasn't sent properly. This patch adds an
explicit g_cond_signal() at two code positions.
With these methods, an output plugin can allocate some global
resources only if it is actually enabled. The method enable() is
called after daemonization, which allows for more sophisticated
resource allocation during that method.
Explicitly make the output thread leave the ao_pause() loop. This
patch is a workaround, and the "pause" flag is not managed in a
thread-safe way, but that's good enough for now.
This patch adds initial filter support for audio outputs. Each audio
output gets a "filter" attribute, which is used by ao_play_chunk().
The PCM conversion is now performed by convert_filter_plugin.
audio_output.convert_state has been removed.
Remember if a mixer object is open or closed. Don't call open() again
if it is already open. This guarantees that the mixer plugin is
always called in a consistent state, and we will be able to remove
lots of checks from the implementations.
To support mixers which are automatically opened even if the audio
output is still closed (to set the volume before playback starts),
this patch also adds the "global" flag to the mixer_plugin struct.
Both ALSA and OSS set this flag, while PULSE does not.
The config_audio_format used to contain the configured audio format,
which is copied to out_audio_format. Let's convert the former to a
boolean, which indicates whether out_audio_format was already set.
This simplifies some code and saves a few bytes.
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.
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.
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.
