SID files are generally collections of tunes, so a SID name field makes
sense as an MPD album. The SID tune information list (STIL) has name
and title fields for individual tunes, when such are known, but MPD is
currently not using the STIL.
High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) metadata fields are encoded in
windows-1252, as described in DOCUMENTS/SID_file_format.txt:

If utf-8 transcoding fails, or the ICU library is unavailable, fall
back to plain ASCII and replace other characters with '?'.
Version 10.2+0.93+1 was released five years ago in 2014 and is the
first version to feature cdio_cddap_free_messages(). There is no way
to check the libcdio-paranoia version at compile time, so let's just
remove support for older versions instead of attempting to fix the
cdio_cddap_free_messages() check at build time.

This reverts commit f7ed7446ae. It was
a bad idea, because MAD_F_MIN and MAD_F_MAX do not represent the
clamping limits, but the theoretical minimum and maximum values of the
mad_fixed_t data type.

This is useful in multiple mpd instances scenario, or multiple pulse outputs defined on the same mpd instance.
It is actually a more flexible way to route flows than the "sink" parameter, letting the PulseAudio routing do its job, but with the ability to isolate routing for each output.
If not specified, the role remains like it was before this commit, ie "music"
The check IsSeekableCurrentSong() was added by commit
44b200240f in version 0.20.19, but it
caused a regression: by doing the branch only if the current song is
seekable, the player would restart the current song if it was not
seekable, and later the initial seek would fail; but we already know
it's not seekable, and so we should fail early.
Applying software volume to S16 samples means several bits of
precision are lost; at 25% volume, two bits are lost. Additionally,
dithering adds some noise.
The problem gets worse when you apply the software volume code twice:
for the software mixer volume, and again for the replay gain. This
loses some more precision and adds even more dithering noise, which
can become audible (see
https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/542).
By converting everything to 24 bit, we need to shift only two bits to
the right instead of ten, losing nearly no precision, and dithering is
not needed. Even if the output device is unable to play S24 directly,
we can convert back to S16 with only one stage of dithering.

MPD used to do that when this code lived in the player thread, but it
was removed by commit 98a7c62d7a4f716d90af6d78e18d1a3b10bc54b3; and
the replacement code in the ALSA output plugin didn't have it.
Without this timer, DispatchSockets() may disable the
MultiSocketMonitor and if Play() doesn't get called soon, it never
gets a chance to generate silence. However if Play() gets called,
generating silence isn't necessary anymore...
Resulting from this misdesign (added by commit ccafe3f3cf in 0.21.3),
the silence generator didn't work reliably.
Apparently, if snd_pcm_drain() returns EAGAIN, it does not actually
want to be called again; the next call will snd_pcm_drain() will also
return EAGAIN, forever, even though the PCM state has meanwhile
switched to SND_PCM_STATE_SETUP. This causes a busy loop; to fix
this, we should always check snd_pcm_state() to see if draining is
really required.
Workaround for a regression caused by commit
a06bf388d9, revealing a problem with
discarding odd numer of frames in the DSD_U32 and DoP converters,
causing distortions with DSD_U32 and DoP on 32 bit CPUs.

Instead of passing tag and group, pass an array of tags. To support a
nested return value, return a nested std::map of std::maps. Each key
specifies the tag value, and each value may be another nesting level.
