These attributes are printed in the "outputs" response, and the new
command "outputset" allows setting new values.
No attributes are currently implemented.

For certain format (hi-res files) and normal buffer size hardware, The
hardware may at once consume most of the buffers. However, in Delay()
function, MPD is supposed to wait for 25 ms after the next try. it
will create a hiccup. The negative impact is much major than
increasing the latency.
I understand larger buffers come at a price. That's why in my earlier
commit last year I significantly reduced it. However, the buffer size
in CoreAudio is set according to the hardware, which is super small
latency. For instance, the system audio of 2015 generation of macbook
pro has maximum buffer size of 4096 samples, which is just 0.09s for
44.1k framerate, or 0.04s for 96k frames --- . compare to the 0.5 sec
latency alsa plugin has, even if we quadruple it, it's still super
tiny.
This fixes spurious replay gain logs when the player inserts silence
chunks, because those silence chunks had no replay gain attached,
resetting the ReplayGainFilter state, flipping it forth and back.
After UnlockActivate() returns, we not only need to check for errors,
but also for more room in the ring buffer. If we don't check the ring
buffer, it may be drained already, and the cond.wait() call will never
finish.
Closes#151
Without the flush, ReadPage() may not return any data, or not all
data. This may result in incomplete ddata the new "header" page,
corrupting streams with some encoders such as Vorbis.
Fixes#145
Allows defining a list of supported audio formats, and allows
switching on and off DoP with certain formats.
This is a first rough draft. The setting syntax and its semantics may
still be redesigned.
There is no documentation on whether calling shout_metadata_add()
multiple times on one instance is allowed. To be sure, let's allocate
the object on demand each time in SendTag().
