The old struct config_param remains only for top-level string options.

Make it "const".

On OSX, the configure-flag --enable-osx is used to enable the
unsupported osx output. It sets the HAVE_OSX preprocessor define.

src/output/OpenALOutputPlugin.cxx uses this define to determine wether
it is building on OSX, and imports different headers (which have
nothing to do with the osx output) depending on wether or not it is
set.

Prepare to migrate away from GLib.  Currently, we're still using GLib
as a backend.

Replaces GLib's GError.

This plugin's use of the "Timer" library was wrong; it added the same
amount of virtual data in every iteration in _play(), but did not
actually play something.  This created an artificial, but useless,
delay.  This patch implements the method _cancel(), and implements
hard-coded sleep values.  This is only slightly better, but does not
attempt to look sane.

The implementation of cancel() did not work well: you cannot use
alSourceUnqueueBuffers() to unqueue queued buffers, and our function
openal_unqueue_buffers() left the OpenAL library in a rather undefined
state; nothing was supposed to be queued, but the "filled" variable
was not reset.

The expression "!format" does not make sense, and cannot occur.

Pass audio_output objects around instead of void pointers.  This will
give some more control to the plugin, and prepares for non-blocking
audio outputs.

Move the "extern" declarations from output_list.c, for more type
safety.

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.

After we've been hit by Large File Support problems several times in
the past week (which only occur on 32 bit platforms, which I don't
have), this is yet another attempt to fix the issue.
