This eliminates some overhead, because the compiler doesn't need to
consider these functions throwing.

ReusableBuffer is more generic.

This patch prepares support for floating point samples (and probably
other formats).  It changes the meaning of the "bits" attribute from a
bit count to a symbolic value.

This updates the copyright header to all be the same, which is
pretty much an update of where to mail request for a copy of the GPL
and the years of the MPD project. This also puts all committers under
'The Music Player Project' umbrella. These entries should go
individually in the AUTHORS file, for consistancy.

Added code to convert all other sample formats to 32 bit.

There is nothing 24 bit specific in the pcm_dither_24 struct.  Since
we want to reuse the struct for 32 bit dithering, let's drop the "_24"
suffix from the struct name.

Replace a "static" buffer with the PCM buffer library.

The function does not need the full pcm_convert_state struct.

Moved all code which converts the sample format to a separate library.

Moved the software mixing code (used by crossfading) to a separate
library.

Don't use libc's rand() function, because it is slow.  Our own trivial
linear congruential generator is good enough for dithering.

redirect_stdin() is a daemonization function, and disconnecting from
the standard input is always a good idea for MPD.

Prepare for the migration to the GLib option parser, which uses
gboolean for flags.

"LOG_H" is a macro which is also used by ffmpeg/log.h.  This is
ffmpeg's fault, because short macros should be reserved for
applications, but since it's always a good idea to choose prefixed
macro names, even for applications, we are going to do that in MPD.

When there are standardized headers, use these instead of the bloated
os_compat.h.

Similar to decoder_control.c, output_control.c will provide functions
for controlling the output thread (which will be implemented later).

This function is declared, but is neither used nor implemented.

Instead of having to register each output plugin, store them
statically in an array.  This eliminates the need for the List library
here, and saves some small allocations during startup.

Also rename AudioOutputPlugin to struct audio_output_plugin, and use
forward declarations to reduce include dependencies.

Just like decoder_api.h, output_api.h provides the audio output API
which is used by the plugins.

Get rid of CamelCase, and don't use a typedef, so we can
forward-declare it, and unclutter the include dependencies.
