Pulseaudio expects clients to specify their channel-map if the
default (ALSA) map does not route the audio to the expected speakers.
Many Google results suggest dealing with this by re-routing the audio
channels with the appropriate ALSA plugin, but this will then simply
break any clients which expect the default ALSA mapping.
Virtually all media files and codecs, certainly flac, dca, a52, and of
course anything based on Microsoft's WAVEFORMAT_EXTENSIBLE specification,
assume the layout in the table here:

Fortunately, pulseaudio directly addresses this with a built-in channel
map for WAVE-EX which can be set automatically in the stream sample-spec.
MPD handles all strings in UTF-8 internally. Those decoders which
read Latin-1 tags are supposed to implement the conversion, instead of
passing Latin-1 to TagBuilder::AddItem(). FixTagString() is simply
the wrong place to do that, and hard-coding Latin-1 is kind of
arbitrary.
The Release Track Id uniquely identifies a recording on a release - that
is, even if a recording appears twice on a release (meaning that the
combination of recording and release id are not enough to figure out
which one it is), the release track id will allow differentiating the two.
The tag names are taken from

On NetBSD, PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER and PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER are
not compatible with C++11 "constexpr" (see Mantis ticket 0004110). As
a workaround, don't ues "constexpr", and use the functions
pthread_mutex_init(), pthread_mutex_destroy(), pthread_cond_init() and
pthread_cond_destroy() instead. This adds some runtime overhead, but
is portable to POSIX implementations that have awkward initializer
macros.
Casting std::numeric_limits<unsigned>::max() to "long" leads to an
overflow if sizeof(unsigned)==sizeof(long), and the result will be -1.
This happens on some 32 bit architectures, for example ARM and WIN32.
Workaround: use std::numeric_limits<int>::max(), which is the largest
signed integer. Since sizeof(long)>=sizeof(int), this will never
overflow.
Fixes Mantis ticket 0004080.
The IsActive() method returned true even if the timer was not active,
after it completed once. This broke the state file timer, and the
state file was not saved periodically.
