This eliminates some overhead, because the compiler doesn't need to
consider these functions throwing.

.. instead of rolling own classes.

Keep those when scanning for empty directories.  The check in
playlist_vector_is_empty() was missing.

False if the vector was not modified.

Don't open the music directory for each "lsinfo" call.  Get the list
of playlist files from the memory database.

Don't let the mixer plugin "override" the libpulse callbacks.
Instead, add a "mixer" attribute to the pulse_output struct, and call
the mixer on all interesting events.

This is a complete rewrite of the PulseAudio output plugin.  It uses
the asynchronous API, which gives us more control over everything.
Additionally, it connects to the PulseAudio server on startup, and
keeps this connection up while MPD runs.  During pause, instead of
closing the stream, it enables "cork".

This updates the copyright header to all be the same, which is
pretty much an update of where to mail request for a copy of the GPL
and the years of the MPD project. This also puts all committers under
'The Music Player Project' umbrella. These entries should go
individually in the AUTHORS file, for consistancy.

Added a small RIFF parser library.  Look for an "id3" chunk, and let
libid3tag parse it.

Moved everything related to saving or loading the playlist from/to the
state file to playlist_state.c.

In generic PCM functions allowing all sample formats, pass a void
pointer instead of a char pointer.

Moved the software mixing code (used by crossfading) to a separate
library.

Don't use libc's rand() function, because it is slow.  Our own trivial
linear congruential generator is good enough for dithering.

redirect_stdin() is a daemonization function, and disconnecting from
the standard input is always a good idea for MPD.

Prepare for the migration to the GLib option parser, which uses
gboolean for flags.

"LOG_H" is a macro which is also used by ffmpeg/log.h.  This is
ffmpeg's fault, because short macros should be reserved for
applications, but since it's always a good idea to choose prefixed
macro names, even for applications, we are going to do that in MPD.
