    httpd: new output plugin to replace "shout" · e62580db
    Max Kellermann authored
    Let's get rid of the "shout" plugin, and the awfully complicated
    icecast daemon setup!  MPD can do better if it's doing the HTTP server
    stuff on its own.  This new plugin has several advantages:
    
    - easier to set up - only one daemon, no password settings, no mount
      settings
    - MPD controls the encoder and thus already knows the packet
      boundaries - icecast has to parse them
    - MPD doesn't bother to encode data while nobody is listening
    
    This implementation is very experimental (no header parsing, ignores
    request URI, no icy-metadata, ...).  It should be able to suport
    several encoders in parallel in the future (with different bit rates,
    different codec, ...), to make MPD the perfect streaming server.  Once
    MPD gets multi-player support, we can even mount several different
    radio stations on one server.
