* Each module can declare a "human-readable short name" with set_name
* Modules are sorted by category (set_category, set_subcategory).
Modules configs can be separated by set_section()
* Separated audio-filter and audio-visual
* Separated extraintf and control
* New command and widget : add_module_list() for comma-separated modules
* Vfilters now use "," as separator
If "strict" is true and a module name is provided then module_Need() will only look for the specified module
If "strict" is false, then module_Need() will first look for the specified module and if it wasn't found, will continue with the other modules with the same "capability".
+ New build system, using recursive makefiles. Due to the amount of code
in VLC, this had become unavoidable.
+ Removed the check for OS X's stack size, since our automake targets are
a lot less hungry now.
+ Ditto for Solaris's sed.
+ Since automake-1.6 is faster than 1.7, use it first if both are present.
* m4/vlc.m4:
+ New AX_ADD_CPPFLAGS, AX_ADD_CFLAGS, AX_ADD_CXXFLAGS, AX_ADD_OBJCFLAGS
and AX_ADD_LDFLAGS macros that do all the magic to detect possible
modules and register their flags.
+ New AX_ADD_BUILTINS and AX_ADD_PLUGINS macros.
+ Some magic to generate vlc-config.
* configure.ac:
+ Moved most code to the AX_ADD_* macros.
+ Explicitely added all target Makefiles.
* modules/**/Modules.am:
+ Path to sources are now relative to Modules.am's directory level.
calculation
* modules/audio_output/coreaudio.c: apparently the audio card clock can
be screwed, so probe it at every buffer
* src/audio_output/output.c: Thou shalt not drop buffers
fix the "sound drops after half an hour" bug)
* modules/audio_filter/resampler/coreaudio.c: reenabled the coreaudio
resampler which works perfectly fine here
Please test that I didn't break S/PDIF output on OS X.
bandlimited interpolation resampler.
It is not yet enabled by default because it requires a bit more works
(not fully stable yet because of buffer overflows under certain conditions).
* src/audio_output/input.c: the resamplers are now always active (expcept
in spdif mode).
* modules/audio_filter/resampler/*: modified the resampler to return the
input buffer when no resampling is needed.
resampler so the ugly resampler is once again the default. The quality of
the ugly resampler is currently better than the linear one because of a
design defect.
using the waveout module.
* ./bootstrap: we ignore comments when parsing makefiles.
* ./modules/audio_filter/converter/fixed32tofloat32.c: changed this module
so that it also does float32tofixed32.
* ./modules/*: ported a few other modules to WinCE (most of the time it's
just a #include <errno.h> that needs to be removed).
and is replaced by two members : i_physical_channels and i_original_channels.
i_physical_channels describes the channels which are effectively present
in the stream (at the current point of the aout pipeline), whereas
i_original_channels represents the channels we used to constitute the
stream. For instance a mono stream (FRONT_CENTER) may emanate from a
FRONT_LEFT channel of a STEREO stream.
Additionally, this contains hooks to dynamically select the audio device
and the channels configuration. In order to do that, all aout plugins,
and all interface plug-ins need to be adapted. Currently only SDL
(partially OSS) and the rc interface have been adapted, please use them
as a guide. Other aout plug-ins have been temporarily disabled.
IMPORTANT : if you need a working sound output, DO NOT UPDATE YOUR TREE
for several days until we fix that.
* modules/misc/network/ipv4.c: Fixed a long-standing segfault when saving
preferences and asking for multicast.
modules/audio_filter/resampler/*: Changes that allow the resamplers to set
the start and end date of the frame it outputs.
This allows us for instance to output a smaller frame than what we should, and
keep the rest of the data to compute the resampling of the next frame.
In short, we can implement much more complex resampling algorithms than before.
* modules/audio_filter/resampler/linear.c: rewrote the linear resampler. The audio
quality doesn't seem to be better than the ugly resampler, maybe I shouldn't
have wasted my time on this...
disabled with --no-audiofile-wav.
* modules/audio_filter/resampler/linear.c: disabled for now, until I actually
manage to make it work without a problem.
./modules/audio_filter/resampler/linear.c: This should allways generate the
right number of samples now. The morale is never base your floating point
calculations on the output of integer divitions.
* Audio and video should now _always_ be perfectly in sync.
* Changes in a52.c (end_date management) must be ported to other codecs,
otherwise mixer errors will appear.
* Audio output plug-in can now tell whether they can handle a little
clock drift (for instance, inserting zeroes after a pause).
