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.
In !NDEBUG, remember which audio_format is stored in every chunk and
every pipe. Check the audio_format of every new data block appended
to the music_chunk, and the format of every new chunk appended to the
music_pipe.
The value of music_chunk.next is undefined for a chunk returned by
music_pipe_shift(). For more pedantic debugging, poison the reference
before returning the chunk.
Turn the music_pipe into a simple music_chunk queue. The music_chunk
allocation code is moved to music_buffer, and is now managed with a
linked list instead of a ring buffer. Two separate music_pipe objects
are used by the decoder for the "current" and the "next" song, which
greatly simplifies the cross-fading code.
Added music_pipe_allocate(), music_pipe_push() and
music_pipe_cancel(). Those functions allow the caller (decoder thread
in this case) to do its own chunk management. The functions
music_pipe_flush() and music_pipe_tag() can now be removed.
This new API gives the caller a writable buffer to the music pipe
chunk. This may allow the caller to eliminate several buffer copies,
because it may manipulate the returned buffer, until it calls
music_pipe_expand().
.. and rename dc.audioFormat to dc.in_audio_format. The music pipe
does not need to know the audio format, and its former "audioFormat"
property indicated the format of the most recently added chunk, which
might be confusing when you are reading the oldest chunks.
No CamelCase in the file name. The output_buffer struct is going to
be renamed to music_pipe. There are so many buffer levels in MPD, and
calling this one "output buffer" is wrong, because it's not the last
buffer before the music reaches the output devices.
