    rewrite statefile code for audio devices · a25acbc9

    In the words of the original author, it was 'crappy'.  I tend to
    agree :)
    
    The code has also been broken for at least the past few months,
    and nobody bothered fixing it
    
    The previous format it was overly complex: 5 lines to describe
    each device.  The new format is one-line per-device:
    
    audio_device_state:%d:%s
    
    %d - 0 for disabled, any integer for enabled
    %s - name of the device as specified in the config file,
    whitespace and all
    
    Incompatibilities:
    
    * Output names are now _required_ to be unique.
    
    This is required because the new format relies solely on the
    name of the audio device.
    
    Relying on the device IDs internal to MPD was a bad idea
    anyways since the user usually has none or very little idea
    how they're generated, and adding a new device or removing
    one from a config would throw things off completely.
    
    This is also just a Good Idea(TM) because it makes things
    less confusing to users when they see it in their clients.
    
    * Output states are not preserved from the previous format.
    
    Not a big deal, since the previous code was never officially
    released.  Also, it's been broken for months now, so I doubt
    anybody would notice :)
