Replaces the old global "soundfont" which never worked.

functions to new dsdlib. Update user doc.

Version 4 of my patch to add DSF support to the DSDIFF
decoder plugin.

This time I have taken a different approach and created a new
read_metadata function specific for reading DSF files. This saves an
indent (and for me a lot of indent nightmares) and also useful for
splitting the DSF and DFF decoders later on.

There are still a few lines which exceed the 80 character width limit by
a few chars. I was not able to stay within the limit and create (for me)
readable code.

Parses CUE data from the "CUESHEET" tag.  Needs further integration in
the update thread.

Support for conversion from float to 16, 24 and 32 bit integer
samples.

Defaults to "no", which fixes the noise problems.

To demonstrate the new I/O thread.  libsoup is well-integrated into
the GLib main loop, which made this plugin pretty easy to write.

As a side effect, we have to initialize the I/O thread in all debug
programs that use the input API.

This patch fixes a typo in doc/user about playlist plugins.

Its in the top commit in my repository in a branch called 'doc_fix':

Added a new optional parameter for the shout plugin called "url".

Using libffado, to play on firewire audio devices.

Warning: this plugin was not tested successfully.  I just couldn't
keep libffado2 from crashing.  Use at your own risk.

For details, see my Debian bug reports:

Added support for a new optional configuration setting for the httpd output
named "bind_to_address". Setting it to a specific IP address (v4 or v6) will
cause the httpd output to bind to that address exclusively. Supporting
multiple addresses in parallel is future work.

This implements the feature requests #2998 and #2646.

Did you ever accidently click "stop" while feeding a radio station?
This option sets the output device to "pause" to disable the "close"
method.  It falls back to "pause" then, which is specific to the
plugin.  Some plugins implement it by feeding silence.

Add an option for each audio output which enables the use of the
hardware mixer, instead of the software volume code.

This is hardware specific, and assumes linear volume control.  This is
not the case for hardware mixers which were tested, making this patch
somewhat useless, but we will use it to experiment with the settings,
to find a good solution.

The new option "sample_rate" sets the sample rate for libmikmod.

Same as the previous patch: create up to 16 configured source ports.
The plugin tries to do its best at guessing the right combination for
the given input file, the number of source and destination ports.

Be more clear which kind of port should be configured here.

Use the same name as in the libjack API documentation.

This new plugin parses extm3u files.  Files without the "#EXTM3U"
header are still parsed by the plain old "m3u" plugin.

jack_client_new() is deprecated.  This requires libjack 0.100
(released nearly 5 years ago).  We havn't been testing older libjack
versions anyway.

As a side effect, there is the new option "autostart".

An asterisk means that this attribute should not be enforced, and
stays whatever it used to be.  This way, some configuration values
work like masks.

This patch completes the configuration support.
