This bugfix release will make incoming streaming more reliable, allowing
stream rewinding if supported, fix CUE track playback, fixes shn support
in ffmpeg and other minor fixes.
- faster tag scanning for vorbis
- fix stuttering and stuck pause bugs for output
- fix issues with tag scanning like forcing huge memory allocations
- plug some memory leaks
This is a major update - from the announcement:
24/32 bit support, audio archive support (bz2/iso9660/zip), all config
entries are completely optional now, multiple and pulseaudio mixer
support, new audio playing modes (consume, etc..), sticker database,
improved tag parsing of all types and too many interesting highlights left
out of this list
pkgsrc notes:
Archive support isn't enabled yet (disabled per default upstream),
neither is pulseaudio support,
just kept the functionality of the previous version.
I didn't find out what libcue does for flac support -- album FLACs
work well for me without that, so I've left it out for now.
This release contains bug fixes for many decoder plugins.
This release also adds True Audio file support and WAV streaming
in the ffmpeg decoder plugin.
pkgsrc changes: support "jack" option (default "off") to utilize
JACK audio server.
Patch provided by Peter Bex in private mail.
-remove libmikmod from default options - it is buggy and possibly a
security risk (it is disabled in "configure" per default too)
-remove shout option - this didn't work anyway (can be fixed, but
I haven't used shout so far)
-enable ipv6 option - the comment on options.mk stating that IPv6
disables IPv4 doesn't seem to ve valid anymore
-fix some configure args which changed spelling over time
-fix a crash in case libmikmod is enabled and used
bump PKGREVISION
This release features fixes for jack instability, many streaming issues,
solaris build, cross fading audio defects, improvement in software
volume and non-distribution building. This releases adds writer/composer
tag support and disables oggvorbis seeking on remote files, which fixes
slow ogg file streaming playback.

Music Player Daemon allows remote access for playing music (MP3s, Ogg
Vorbis files, Flacs and AAC files) and managing playlists. It is
designed for integrating a computer into a stereo system that provides
control for music playback over a local network. It is also makes a
great desktop music player, especially if you're a console junkie,
like frontend options, or restart X often.
this package is a hybrid of a package created by pkg@burningsoda.com
in pkgsrc-wip and the package created independently by myself.
