This function replaces the replay_gain_info parameter for
decoder_data(). This allows the decoder to announce replay gain
changes, instead of having to pass the same object over and over.
Another quirk fixed: after the last chunk of a song has been played,
the "elapsed_time" variable is set to the chunk's time stamp. When
the client receives the PLAYER idle event and asks MPD for the current
time stamp, MPD will return the last time stamp of the previous song
when it hasn't played the first chunk of the current song yet.
Major API redesign: don't let the caller allocate the input_stream
object. Let each input plugin allocate its own (derived/extended)
input_stream pointer. The "data" attribute can now be removed, and
all input plugins simply cast the input_stream pointer to their own
structure (with an "struct input_stream base" as the first attribute).
This patch changes the following decoder plugins to implement
stream_tag() instead of tag_dup():
faad, ffmpeg, mad, modplug, mp4ff, mpcdec, oggflac
This simplifies their code, because they do not need to take care of
opening/closing the stream.
Make the input_stream implementation hold a reference on the
archive_file object. Allow the caller to "close" the archive_file
object immediately, no matter if the open_stream() method has
succeeded or not.
This replaces the rewinding buffer code from the CURL input plugin.
It is more generic, and allows rewinding even when the server sends
Icy-Metadata (which would have been too difficult to implement within
the CURL plugin).
This is a rather complex patch for the stable branch (v0.15.x), but it
fixes a serious problem: the "vorbis" decoder plugin was unable to
play streams with Icy-Metadata, because it couldn't rewind the stream
after detecting the codec (Vorbis vs. FLAC).
When collecting tag values for the result set, add all of a song's tag
values of the searched type. This affects the "list" command.
Previously, "list" only considered the first tag value of a song.
Seek the decoder to the start of the range before beginning with
playback. Stop the decoder when the end of the range has been
reached. Add the start position to the seek position. Expose the
duration of the range, not the full song file.
Prepend the playlist's base URI to relative song URIs. Look up songs
in the database (if the URI refers to a local song file). Merge
existing database metadata with metadata from the playlist plugin.
