pf_setformat disappears (it was never called independantly of Open). If
the format needs to be changed, we will have Close/Open. This is much
simpler than before. Please check that I didn't break some plug-ins.
* ALL : Added a priority argument to vlc_thread_create(), so that audio
and input threads can run with a higher real-time priority, on systems
allowing you to use priorities.
* ./debian/control: gnome-vlc recommends vlc-plugin-esd, and kvlc recommends
vlc-plugin-arts.
* ./src/misc/messages.c: message queue now prints the current object type.
* ./modules/*: cosmetic fixes for the --long-help output.
prototype change; it looks like we won't need it after all.
* ./src/audio_output/output.c: if audio output is too slow, but we
know there is no next packet, then we play it anyway. Rationale behind
this is: better play a slightly wrongly dated packet than play silence,
because it might be wrongly dated but there are chances it won't break
audio continuity.
* ./modules/audio_output/sdl.c: workaround for SDL's crap audio output
system (callback gets called at random times, and no way to know the
latency of the samples being played). Audio output is now rather good
here, but please give feedback.
* ./modules/audio_output/oss.c: we delay a bit before asking for a new
buffer to avoid starvation.
which lets the audio output module give a timeout value for buffer
delivery. This fixes a few issues with aout modules which were calling
aout_OutputNextBuffer way too early.
won't unload it. This makes us more fault-tolerant with crap libraries
that are making use of atexit().
* ./configure.in: svgalib can now be a plugin.
* ./modules/misc/gtk_main.c: gtk_main doesn't need g_atexit anymore.
Currently only supports 256 color output, and defaults to 320x200. You need to be root to use it, it may leave your console in an unusable state, lock
up your video card, it will segfault at exit if you compile it as a plugin
because of SVGAlib's ludicrous use of atexit() and signal().
Apart from these few glitches, it's rather OK, use "-I dummy -V svgalib"
to activate. Q or Esc to quit (press for a long time if it doesn't work).
* Major changes in the handling of dates in the audio output ; still buggy,
but differently.
* Fixed a major bug in the aout pre-filters, preventing to run any other
decoder than liba52.
* p_aout->output.pf_play now has only one argument.
received does not start exactly at the given date, it indicates if the
output plug-in is able to compensate for the drift (for instance on
startup, or with S/PDIF packets), or if we need the aout core to
resample the coming buffers. It is currently unimplemented.
instead of our own variable.
* ./modules/audio_filter/converter/a52tospdif.c, ./modules/codec/a52.c: added
<unistd.h>, required for bswap.
* ./modules/demux/mp4/libmp4.c: removed an unneccessary semicolon in a
macro definition.
* ./modules/audio_output/esd.c: first attempt at getting esd to work.
* ./modules/video_output/*: split sdl.so into a video and an audio plugin,
and removed useless subdirectories.
* ./modules/audio_output/sdl.c: compilation fix.
only have one parent, because I don't want to deal with cycles, and each
created object is indexed in a global array. This feature is unused yet,
but it will speed up vlc_object_find(FIND_ANYWHERE).
* ./debian/rules: activated the faad codec.
* ./doc/fortunes.txt: new fortune cookies.
* ./modules/codec/mpeg_video/headers.c: reduced the use of attach/detach.
* ./modules/audio_output/oss.c: fixed two compilation warnings.
* modules/audio_output/waveout.c: adapted the waveout audio plugin to aout3 and
decreased its score so the directx plugin is selected by default.
* configure.in: re-enabled the waveout plugin
It's really amazing how much aout3 simplifies these plugins :)
waveout, directx, qnx, beos, win32, macosx, and the AltiVec modules.
* ALL: removed mention of AC3 in favour of A52.
* ./configure.in, ./Makefile*: modules can now be built deeper than 1
directory. As a consequence, the build is even slower (but I'm fixing
this) and make clean doesn't work anymore.
