Genres are not part of the SID format, so SID files are genreless. This
"default_genre" option may be used to assign a default genre to all SID
music, for example "SID", "C64", "Chiptune", etc.
This is useful in multiple mpd instances scenario, or multiple pulse outputs defined on the same mpd instance.
It is actually a more flexible way to route flows than the "sink" parameter, letting the PulseAudio routing do its job, but with the ability to isolate routing for each output.
If not specified, the role remains like it was before this commit, ie "music"
using the device "default" brings this plugin into line with the AlsaOutputPlugin; and a sample rate of 48kHz is more widely used as a native default for modern hardware than 44.1kHz
Also fixes an inconsistency between the docs and code.
Bugs in libroar which broke the MPD build have been annoying me for
quite some time, and the newest bug has now hit my main build machine:
https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/377
Problem is the usage of the typedef `_IO_off64_t` in libroar's
`vio_stdio.h`:
int roar_vio_to_stdio_lseek (void *__cookie, _IO_off64_t *__pos, int __w);
This `_IO_off64_t` is an internal implementation detail of glibc and
was removed in version 2.28. Nobody must ever use it. Why the ****
did the RoarAudio developers use it? Not using internal typedefs
isn't exactly rocket science.
This annoys me enough to finally remove the plugin. Anyway, I've
never heard of anybody using RoarAudio, so my best guess is that
nobody will notice.
