When set, MPD will not auto-start playback on startup; it will be in
"paused" state.

Added a new optional parameter for the shout plugin called "url".

Added support for a new optional configuration setting for the httpd output
named "bind_to_address". Setting it to a specific IP address (v4 or v6) will
cause the httpd output to bind to that address exclusively. Supporting
multiple addresses in parallel is future work.

This implements the feature requests #2998 and #2646.

Limits the depth of the watched directories.  This is useful to keep
resource usage down and speed up MPD startup.

There was no setting for disabling replay gain.  It was off when the
"replaygain" setting was not there.

Both options are deprecated, and should not be used anymore.  Many
users get confused by their presence.

Add a second column of comment signs on some parameters which users
shouldn't usually set, unless they know what they're doing.

[mk: added autoconf test; fixed songlen_data_size type]

The recorder plugin writes audio played by MPD to a file.  This may be
useful for recording radio streams.

This implementation is incomplete, because support for tags is
missing, and MPD should be able to record each track to a different
file.

The "group" configuration option is similar to "user" as it
sets user set what group MPD shall run as.  With "user"
option, MPD changed GID to the GID of the user, however,
more control could be desired.

Moreover, the patch changes the way of checking whether no
setuid(2)/setgid(2) is required -- previously user names
were compered, now UID and GIDs are compered (ie. the one we
already have (getuid(2)/getgid(2)) with the one we want to
change to).

Do all the software volume stuff inside each output thread, not in the
player thread.  This allows one software mixer per output device, and
also allows the user to configure the mixer type (hardware or
software) for each audio output.

This moves the global "mixer_type" setting into the "audio_output"
section, deprecating the "mixer_enabled" flag.

This allows you to select controls with duplicate names.

The old global settings "http_proxy_host", "http_proxy_port",
"http_proxy_user" and "http_proxy_password" continue to work.

Ths usual defaults updates, this includes clarifications, cleanups, updates
and fixes.

It's called "vorbis", not "ogg".

Let's get rid of the "shout" plugin, and the awfully complicated
icecast daemon setup!  MPD can do better if it's doing the HTTP server
stuff on its own.  This new plugin has several advantages:

- easier to set up - only one daemon, no password settings, no mount
  settings
- MPD controls the encoder and thus already knows the packet
  boundaries - icecast has to parse them
- MPD doesn't bother to encode data while nobody is listening

This implementation is very experimental (no header parsing, ignores
request URI, no icy-metadata, ...).  It should be able to suport
several encoders in parallel in the future (with different bit rates,
different codec, ...), to make MPD the perfect streaming server.  Once
MPD gets multi-player support, we can even mount several different
radio stations on one server.

[mk: adapted to new output plugin API]

There is no reason to use the shortcut "mix" instead of "mixer".

Allow logging to syslog if log_file is configured to "syslog".

Removed the "error_file" option.  There is only one log file now.  If
a user wants to see only the errors, he should configure a log_level.

Fix a few problems with the huge mpdconf update. There's alot of shift here, mostly due to word wraps. This, also, improves on uniformity and clarity of the document.

Over time mpdconf has evolved and has been maintained and contributed to by many different folks at different
times. Try to give it some unity. Attempt to clear up some language and make things crystal clear. Add more
examples. Use tabs when it makes sense. Make better borders. Remove obsolete options. Try to put more defaults
when it makes sense.

The "user" option does not work if MPD is started by an unprivileged
user.

Additionally, add an example in mpdconf.example.

MPD 0.13 and older followed all symbolic links.  Although this can be
a security problem (as it has always been), 0.14 should offer the same
default behaviour as 0.13.

The configuration options "follow_outside_symlinks" and
"follow_inside_symlinks" let the user control whether MPD should
follow symbolic links in the music directory.

[mk: converted variables to "bool"; moved configuration to
update_global_init()]

Added configuration parameter "protocol" which lets the user choose
from 3 shout protocols.  This adds support for real shoutcast servers.

I've perhaps gone a bit overboard, but here's the current rundown:

Both Ogg and MP3 use the "shout" audio output plugin.  The shout audio
output plugin itself has two new plugins, one for the Ogg encoder,
and another for the MP3 (LAME) encoder.

Configuration for an Ogg stream doesn't change.  For an MP3 stream,
configuration is the same as Ogg, with two exceptions.  First, you must
specify the optional "encoding" parameter, which should be set to "mp3".
See mpd.conf(5) for more details.  Second, the "quality" parameter is
reversed for LAME, such that 1 is high quality for LAME, whereas 10 is
high quality for Ogg.

I've decomposed the code so that all libshout related operations
are done in audioOutput_shout.c, all Ogg specific functions are in
audioOutput_shout_ogg.c, and of course then all LAME specific functions
are handled in audioOutput_shout_mp3.c.

To develop encoder plugins for the shout audio output plugin, I basically
just mimicked the plugin system used for audio outputs.  This might be
overkill, but hopefully if anyone ever wants to support some other sort
of stream, like maybe AAC, FLAC, or WMA (hey it could happen), they will
hopefully be all set.

The Ogg encoder is slightly less optimal under this configuration.
It used to send shout data directly out of its ogg_page structures.  Now,
in the interest of encapsulation, it copies the data from its ogg_page
structures into a buffer provided by the shout audio output plugin (see
audioOutput_shout_ogg.c, line 77.)  I suspect the performance impact
is negligible.

As for metadata, I'm pretty sure they'll both work.  I wrote up a test
scaffold that would create a fake tag, and tell the plugin to send it
out to the stream every few seconds.  It seemed to work fine.  Of course,
if something does break, I'll be glad to fix it.

Lastly, I've renamed lots of things into snake_case, in keeping with
normalperson's wishes in that regard.

[mk: moved the MP3 patch after this one.  Splitted this patch into
several parts; the others were already applied before this one.  Fixed
a bunch GCC warnings and wrong whitespace modifications.  Made it
compile with mpd-mk by adapting to its prototypes]
