OSS work with my sblive! now :). It still works on my other computer too
but please test.

pf_setformat disappears (it was never called independantly of Open). If
the format needs to be changed, we will have Close/Open. This is much
simpler than before. Please check that I didn't break some plug-ins.

  (see my last mail).
* aout: Rewrote our whole lock policy. The output thread now doesn't require
  the mixer_lock, which might avoid delays. We will also be able to change
  the filter pipelines at runtime.

    compilation fixes (typo, undeclared var).

    might break the HP/UX or Solaris ports, please check if possible.
  * ./src/misc/threads.c: fixed syntax in the st and pth implementations.

* ALL : Added a priority argument to vlc_thread_create(), so that audio
and input threads can run with a higher real-time priority, on systems
allowing you to use priorities.

* Reactivated the A/52 demux.
* Wrote a real full-featured float32 mixer.

    always the same.

    we _really_ depend on it.
  * ./bootstrap: we don't use touch to create a file, because it doesn't seem
    to work everywhere.

    about a missing m4/Makefile.in.
  * ./include/vlc_common.h: workaround for Borland's redefinition of PACKAGE.

* New NextPTS() function, to replace CurrentPTS() (gives the PTS which will
  be valid for NEXT byte).
* Fixed mono mode in the builtin mpeg audio decoder.
* Various fixes related to PTS calculation in audio decoders.

to 127. about 100 is cool

    to like the gettext m4 files.

    don't seem to work very well if you are using autopoint, although
    gettext 0.11.5 claims to be fully backwards compatible. Welcome to
    automake hell.
  * ./bootstrap: workaround which uses gettextize if you do not have
    autopoint. We'll probably stay like this for a while, until gettext
    0.11.x (which replaces gettextize with autopoint) becomes more
    widespread. Currently this workaround seems to work, but don't expect
    a clean tarball if you make dist without having used autopoint. Welcome
    to automake hell.

    issues in the Win32 build.

  * ./debian/control: gnome-vlc recommends vlc-plugin-esd, and kvlc recommends
    vlc-plugin-arts.
  * ./src/misc/messages.c: message queue now prints the current object type.
  * ./modules/*: cosmetic fixes for the --long-help output.

  * Renamed ./include/config.h to ./include/vlc_config.h
  * Other misc auto* fixes.

    unnoticeable apart from the extra dependency on autoconf, automake and
    gettextize. See the new HACKING file for some information, especially if
    you don't run Linux.

    The current strategy is to have the configure script generate a nice
    automake Makefile from Makefile.am, and then clobber it with our good
    old dirty Makefile. Muahaha :-)

    sound synchronization.
  * ./src/audio_output/output.c: reverted another change I previously did :-)

    prototype change; it looks like we won't need it after all.
  * ./src/audio_output/output.c: if audio output is too slow, but we
    know there is no next packet, then we play it anyway. Rationale behind
    this is: better play a slightly wrongly dated packet than play silence,
    because it might be wrongly dated but there are chances it won't break
    audio continuity.
  * ./modules/audio_output/sdl.c: workaround for SDL's crap audio output
    system (callback gets called at random times, and no way to know the
    latency of the samples being played). Audio output is now rather good
    here, but please give feedback.
  * ./modules/audio_output/oss.c: we delay a bit before asking for a new
    buffer to avoid starvation.

demuxers need it

    but rather sleep a bit.

    insert blank samples, but changes pitch.

* modules/misc/logger/logger.c: fixed initialization bugs.
* src/misc/objects.c: in vlc_object_destroy() there's no need to lock structure_lock if
we are the root object (structure_lock has already been destroyed anyway).

    issue in the trivial resampler.
