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"
stops (default is clearing the queue) and if true do not clear the
queue.
This option is necessary because some dacp clients rely on the queue
being empty if player is stopped. Retune for example does not always
show the queue contents if player state is stopped.
Also includes the skeleton for perhaps supporting video in the future. Adds more fine-grained
ffmpeg/libav compability checks. Dependency on libavresample/libswresample exchanged with
dependency on libavfilter, which seems more versatile.
introduces a dummy output for local audio
Changes configure.ac to control the with-alsa and with-oss4 separately.
This makes it possible to only use the dummy output and compile without
alse+oss4.
- introduced new section in config file for sqlite pragma settings,
added config for artwork cache
- added setting of pragma synchronous, cache size and journal mode to
daap cache
- Try to not return items which a client can't play
- Remove inotify subscription to IN_MODIFY and IN_CREATE
- Fix crash on unknown codec type in transcode.c
- Probably added some new bugs...
- identify podcasts by config path
- always set album_artist to empty for podcasts
- album_artist for compilations made configurable
- clean up media type enumeration
In some complex ALSA setups, using PCM or Master is not the right thing
to do, so allow a custom mixer element name to be specified in the config
file for this use case.
Request and initial patch by Kurt Vanderlinden <kurt.vanderlinden@skynet.be>.
It is now clear that multi-library support will not happen, so remove whatever
provisions were in the code for that.
It comes with a small change to the configuration file, too.
With this, DB schema version went to 9.
