Added configure checks needed to detect missing functions on OSX
Added compat clock functions using clock_get_time on OSX
Added compat timer functions using clock_gettime and setitimer on OSX
Added byteswap functions on OSX
- Added custom checks for libraries and pkgconfig modules that test library
presence with additional checks for use of headers and functions with
given options. Also support correct additional feature library checks
using provided flags.
- Added custom enable/disable feature macros to simplify their use.
- Use custom CFLAGS and LIBS variables for Makefiles to simplify maintenance.
- Update many feature checks from platform to function.
- Streamline many function checks.
- Correctly check gnutls, gcrypt and gpg-error libraries.
- Fix chromecast and spotify config and compile on FreeBSD
- Added inotify, signalfd and kqueue, and byte swap checks.
- Many clarifications of error messages.
- Correct json-c checks to properly use supplied CFLAGS.
- Correct many quoting inconsistencies
- Use __DATE__ in place of BUILDDATE
- Use full path for gperf and antlr3
- Remove unnecessary CFLAGS
- Added tests for pthread_setname_np parameters
- Added tests for clock_gettime and timer_settime
- Added tests for time.h
- Test if pthread, dl and rt libs are required/available.
- Updated checks for libunistring
Support a separate mixer_device configuration file option for
advanced ALSA configurations. Previously, ALSA local output
happened to work becasue "default" is valid as both a PCM and a
mixer. Now you can separately specify the device name for PCM
output and mixer operations.
In my setup, I am using the following setup:
card = "default:CARD=NVidia"
mixer = "Front"
mixer_device = "hw:CARD=NVidia"
Requiring the user to set up Pulseaudio in system mode is not optimal. This
would, however, be required especially on headless systems. This is the
sledgehammer alternative to starting Pulseaudio.
