This patch prepares support for floating point samples (and probably
other formats). It changes the meaning of the "bits" attribute from a
bit count to a symbolic value.
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.
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.
Added an inline assembly function for the 64 bit multiplication.
Benchmark results on a Pentium II 266 MHz, 512 MB of 24 bit PCM data:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=64k count=8k |
time ./test/software_volume 48000:24:2 >/dev/null
