      Drop metadata updates from HTTP for now (input HTTP, and shout) · 45ebb851
      Eric Wong authored 
      It is way more complicated than it should be; and
locking it for thread-safety is too difficult.

      Initial cut of fork() => pthreads() for decoder and player · 9cf66d0e
      Eric Wong authored 
      I initially started to do a heavy rewrite that changed the way processes
communicated, but that was too much to do at once.  So this change only
focuses on replacing the player and decode processes with threads and
using condition variables instead of polling in loops; so the changeset
itself is quiet small.

* The shared output buffer variables will still need locking
to guard against race conditions.  So in this effect, we're probably
just as buggy as before.  The reduced context-switching overhead of
using threads instead of processes may even make bugs show up more or
less often...

* Basic functionality appears to be working for playing local (and NFS)
audio, including:
play, pause, stop, seek, previous, next, and main playlist editing

* I haven't tested HTTP streams yet, they should work.

* I've only tested ALSA and Icecast.  ALSA works fine, Icecast
metadata seems to get screwy at times and breaks song
advancement in the playlist at times.

* state file loading works, too (after some last-minute hacks with
non-blocking wakeup functions)

* The non-blocking (*_nb) variants of the task management functions are
probably overused.  They're more lenient and easier to use because
much of our code is still based on our previous polling-based system.

* It currently segfaults on exit.  I haven't paid much attention
to the exit/signal-handling routines other than ensuring it
compiles.  At least the state file seems to work.  We don't
do any cleanups of the threads on exit, yet.

* Update is still done in a child process and not in a thread.
To do this in a thread, we'll need to ensure it does proper
locking and communication with the main thread; but should
require less memory in the end because we'll be updating
the database "in-place" rather than updating a copy and
then bulk-loading when done.

* We're more sensitive to bugs in 3rd party libraries now.
My plan is to eventually use a master process which forks()
and restarts the child when it dies:

* We're more sensitive to bugs in 3rd party libraries now.
My plan is to eventually use a master process which forks()
and restarts the child when it dies:

master - just does waitpid() + fork() in a loop
\- main thread
\- decoder thread
\- player thread

At the beginning of every song, the main thread will set
a dirty flag and update the state file.  This way, if we
encounter a song that triggers a segfault killing the
main thread, the master will start the replacement main
on the next song.

* The main thread still wakes up every second on select()
to check for signals; which affects power management.

      Cleanup #includes of standard system headers and put them in one place · cb8f1af3
      Eric Wong authored 
      This will make refactoring features easier, especially now that
pthreads support and larger refactorings are on the horizon.

Hopefully, this will make porting to other platforms (even
non-UNIX-like ones for masochists) easier, too.

os_compat.h will house all the #includes for system headers
considered to be the "core" of MPD.  Headers for optional
features will be left to individual source files.

      Simplify decode cleanup logic a bit · 2cc59816
      Eric Wong authored 
      DECODE_STATE_STOP is always set as dc->state, and dc->stop
is always cleared.  So handle it in decodeStart once rather
than doing it in every plugin.

While we're at it, fix a long-standing (but difficult to
trigger) bug in mpc_decode where we failed to return
if mpc_decoder_initialize() fails.
