Let's get rid of the "shout" plugin, and the awfully complicated
icecast daemon setup! MPD can do better if it's doing the HTTP server
stuff on its own. This new plugin has several advantages:
- easier to set up - only one daemon, no password settings, no mount
settings
- MPD controls the encoder and thus already knows the packet
boundaries - icecast has to parse them
- MPD doesn't bother to encode data while nobody is listening
This implementation is very experimental (no header parsing, ignores
request URI, no icy-metadata, ...). It should be able to suport
several encoders in parallel in the future (with different bit rates,
different codec, ...), to make MPD the perfect streaming server. Once
MPD gets multi-player support, we can even mount several different
radio stations on one server.
Converted the ogg_page attribute from the vorbis_encoder struct to a
local function of vorbis_encoder_read(). This simplifies some code,
because we don't need to check the page anymore before using it.
Add the "flush" flag, and defer the ogg_stream_flush() call. Call
ogg_stream_pageout() or ogg_stream_flush() (depending on the "flush"
flag) in vorbis_encoder_read(). This prevents the ogg_page from
getting overwritten by consecutive ogg_stream_pageout() calls.
Even if libsamplerate support is enabled, compile the fallback
resampler. When the user specifies the option
"samplerate_converter=internal", it is chosen in favor of
libsamplerate. This may help users with a weak FPU who don't want to
compile a custom MPD from source, because the fallback resampler does
not use floating point operations.
Added diversion functions to pcm_resample.c. These check which
resampler is enabled at compile time (libsamplerate or fallback).
This prepares the following patch.
In some rare cases, there was a race condition between the output
thread and the main thread: when you disable/enable an output device
in the main thread, this caused a crash in the output thread. Protect
the whole mixer struct with a GMutex to prevent that.
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.
When the destination chunk was empty in cross_fade_apply(), it had no
audio_format attached (an attribute which is only used for assertion
in the debug build). cross_fade_apply() should assign it the
audio_format of the second chunk (if available), otherwise MPD will
crash.
When there are chunks which are not yet finished,
audio_output_all_check() returned the size of its music pipe minus
one. I can't remember exactly why I subtracted 1 from the return
value, it must have had something to do with a former meaning of this
function. Now it induces assertion failures.
