snd_pcm_poll_descriptors_revents() may return any error code; the
ALSA docs do not constrain the permitted values. A 'hw' device
will only ever return an error if the pfd array passed in is
invalid (-EINVAL), but other I/O plugins may return arbitary
errors. For example a network-based device may return -EPIPE etc.
The resulting exception thrown by
AlsaNonBlockPcm::DispatchSockets() must be caught to prevent the
mpd process from being aborted.
Some ALSA capture devices can have very large buffers, holding 10
seconds or more audio. Using the maximum buffer size with such
devices leads to unacceptably large, and unnecessary, latency.
Also, some ALSA drivers (e.g. HDA Intel PCH) report an invalid
maximum period size, and the period size that mpd calculates from
the maximum buffer size results in "Invalid argument" error when
applying the hw_params. Note that the "default" capture device on
many cards includes the "dsnoop" plugin which imposes a buffer
size of 16384 frames, so that "alsa://" works OK but
"alsa://plughw" or "alsa://hw" both fail.
Limit the maximum buffer time for ALSA input devices to a more useable
2 seconds, thereby avoiding both the above problems.
Most of the Android specific meson code has been removed and replaced with
the grade build system.
The new meson build scripts build and move the libmpd.so binaries into the correct
location that gradle expects. After than gradle handles building the rest of the Android app.
Icons and banners have been updated for the modern app packaging expectations.

for older versions of Android <https://www.figma.com/community/file/1283953738855070149>
