GLib provides an easier API for character set conversion than iconv().
Use g_convert() / g_convert_with_fallback() for all character
conversions. We should optimize the path.h API later to return a
newly allocated buffer, so we can just pass GLib's return value.
GLib is a nice and portable utility library. We are going to use it
from now on, and eliminate a lot of duplicated code from MPD. Why
invent the wheel again and again?
Use memchr() instead of manually traversing the input buffer. Update
the client's properties after all commands have been processed. Check
for buffer overflow once.
The caller already knows the protocol family, and we can eliminate the
complicated switch statement in establishListen() if we just pass this
information. This seems more robust.
"idle" waits until something noteworthy happens on the server,
e.g. song change, playlist modified, database updated. This allows
clients to keep up to date without polling.
Added mpd.conf options for disabling automatic resamling, sample
format and channel conversion. This way, users may choose to override
ALSA's automatic resampling, and use libsamplerate instead.
This git branch has become a real MPD fork now. Time to change the
package name to the code name "mpd-mk". Set the version number to
"0.14~git" to mark this as a non-released version.
Don't follow relative symlinks which point into the music directory.
This allows you to organize music with symbolic links, without MPD
managing separate copies of each song.
The mapper library maps directory and song objects to file system
paths. With this central library, the code mixture in path.c should
be cleaned up, and we will be able to add neat features like aliasing.
isMusic() used to be a very inefficient function: with every
invocation, it did another stat() on the specified file. There is
only one caller, do the stat() there manually and use hasMusicSuffix()
instead of isMusic().
By always creating the parent directory, we can use delete_name_in()
without further lookups. The parents which may non exist will be
pruned later. An update request for a non-existing or empty directory
should be quite unusual, so this doesn't add any measurable overhead.
In order to optimize buffer usage, pass only the base file name to
updateInDirectory(). This way, updateInDirectory() may choose when to
allocate a larger buffer for the full path.
It is invalid to pass a path with the wrong dirname to dirvec_find().
To be able to find a subdirectory only by its basename, compare only
the basename of both paths.
The only caller of deletePlaylist() appends PLAYLIST_FILE_SUFFIX, so
we can be sure it's already there. We don't need to stat the file,
since unlink() does all the checking.
Commit 80a2c937 broke resume after pause: it cleared the
input_audio_format when it attempted to simplify a complicated
expression. Don't clear it, just assign input_audio_format if a new
format was specified.
We only need to lock sv->nr changes to prevent traversals ( why
it's called "nr_lock"). free(3) is a "slow" function on my
system; so we can avoid unnecessarily holding a lock long for
longer than needed.
If the sample format isn't supported by the device (i.e. 24 bit on
low-end sound chips), fall back to 16 bit output. There is code in
pcm_utils.c which converts PCM data to 16 bit.
Convert any number of channels to stereo. In fact, this isn't really
stereo, it's rater mono blown up to stereo. This patch should only
make it possible to play 5.1 files at all; "real" conversion to stereo
should be implemented, but for now, this is better than nothing.
