Using worker threads instead of httpd threads means that we, not libevent, decide which requests get handled by which threads. This means that we can make sure blocking requests (e.g. volume changes) don't get in the way of realtime(ish) stuff like mp3 streaming. Includes refactor of httpd_stream_file() since it was a bit of a monster.
OwnTone (previously forked-daapd)
OwnTone is a Linux/FreeBSD DAAP (iTunes), MPD (Music Player Daemon) and RSP (Roku) media server.
It supports AirPlay devices/speakers, Apple Remote (and compatibles), MPD clients, Chromecast, network streaming, internet radio, Spotify and LastFM.
It does not support streaming video by AirPlay nor Chromecast.
DAAP stands for Digital Audio Access Protocol which is the protocol used by iTunes and friends to share/stream media libraries over the network.
OwnTone was previously called forked-daapd, which again was a rewrite of mt-daapd (Firefly Media Server).
