What's happening is the `ptr' argument to that function is NULL for me
every time. `ptr' is unconditionally dereferenced to generate a log
message, and this is where mpd crashes.
Attached is a simple patch that tests for NULL and omits the log. With
this patch the crash disappeared and mpd went back to working well.
"When playing musepack files with mpd v0.15.8, rg seems to have no effect.
Using sample file below, mpd says 'computing ReplayGain album scale with gain 122.879997, peak 0.549150'.
One thing though, if I build mpd against old libmpcdec-1.2.6, rg works
as expected: 'computing ReplayGain album scale with gain 16.820000,
peak 0.099765'"
"There is a bug in fixed-point musepack (musepack_src_r435) playback.
In floating-point audio is OK but in fixed audio is distorted. I have
made a patch for this"
Removed the decoder_command_finished() call at the end of
mp3_decode(). This is invalid, because decoder_command_finished() has
already been called in mp3_read().
Don't allocate each replay_gain_info object on the heap. Those
objects who held a pointer now store a full replay_gain_info object.
This reduces the number of allocations and heap fragmentation.
To allow libavformat to detect the format of the input file, append
the suffix of the input file to the URL of the virtual stream. This
specifically enables the "shorten" codec, which is supported by
libavformat/raw.c, detected only by the suffix.
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.
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.
Remove the data_time parameter from decoder_data(). This patch
eliminates the timestamp counting in most decoder plugins, because the
MPD core will do it automatically by default.
