It is doing something not supported at all.

Great news: there is no need to check for the existance of the playlist!

We can't use this plugin for audio decoding on Leopard due to the removal of the old pre-carbon SoundManager API.

As this plugin is heavily based on QuickDraw and Sound Manager, we definitively want a re-write using sane and supported APIs meaning either QTKit or a combination of CoreAudio and the 32bit C QuickTime API

If you wanted to keep it, you've had two years to take maintainership
and start fixing this mess. It's a bit late.

Some people should have read some documentation about threading before
they did 1000+ commits. Yes, I am obviously annoyed. I have been fixing
VLC for 18 months because of these "great former developers".

I assume nothing can ever try to add a new one once the interfaces have
been destroyed. If not there is a race condition.

opengllayer: Don't protect a module by #ifdef you'll end up in warnings. Disable it at configure time if needed.

Complete l10n to be done later on

Some (buggy?) thread implementations use RT signals internally...
The handling of SIGPIPE remains somewhat problematic. We should probably
use MSG_NOSIGNAL when writing to sockets, but this does not work when
dealing with pipes/FIFOs or writing to sockets using write(). In
particular, net_Write uses write() so that it can be used on non-socket
descriptors too (I believe this is used by the RC interface).

Though this should not happen as we are using non-blocking mode

Character device may be seekable (depending on the device) and block
device are seekable, but only on certain boundaries which we don't
handle.

Note to self: don't ever trust IB3
