bjs 304b9d74d2 Add a moc-devel package for version 2.5.0alpha3. This package uses
a getline() function taken from nbftp--bothering with gnulib was too
annoying.  It works for me on NetBSD-current, but please let me
know if there are any problems.

I've also extended the check for sched_get_priority_max(3)--both here
and in audio/moc--to look in librt prior to giving up.  This allows
moc to run with realtime priority on NetBSD-current; unfortunately,
presently this requires root perms.

MOC (music on console) is a console audio player for LINUX/UNIX
designed to be powerful and easy to use. Noteworthy features
include:
* By default, files are decoded and played in a background
process. This allows the user to quit the interface (e.g.,
if one needs to close the xterm) without affecting
playback. It also allows attaching multiple interfaces
(e.g. in multiple xterms) to the same player.
* Playback should be smooth even under high cpu or I/O load,
due to the use of output buffering in a separate thread.
* There are no sound gaps in between files, because the next
file to be played is precached while playing the current
file.
Note: To avoid conflicts with Qt's 'moc', the moc binary is
called 'mocp'.
