DSD-over-USB should not be a MPD core format, because it is not a
"natural" format; it is just a temnporary over-the-wire format. This
format has been implemented in pcm_export, and does not need to be
supported by pcm_convert.
For simplicity, the MPD core should not have to deal with packing. It
is rarely used, and those plugins that need it should use the
pcm_export library instead.
This patch prepares support for floating point samples (and probably
other formats). It changes the meaning of the "bits" attribute from a
bit count to a symbolic value.
After we've been hit by Large File Support problems several times in
the past week (which only occur on 32 bit platforms, which I don't
have), this is yet another attempt to fix the issue.
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.
In addition to audio_format_valid(), provide functions which validate
only one attribute of an audio_format. These functions are reused by
audio_format_parse().
Added audio_format_parse() in a separate library, with a modern
interface: return a GError instead of logging errors. This allows the
caller to deal with the error.
