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.

    modules.
  * ./debian/rules: added faad to the package generation.

    the "dvd", "frequency" and "symbol-rate" variables.

  * ./modules/audio_output/oss.c: we now properly set the fragment size.

    which lets the audio output module give a timeout value for buffer
    delivery. This fixes a few issues with aout modules which were calling
    aout_OutputNextBuffer way too early.

    0.5.x version, and created the vlc-plugin-svgalib package.

seems to be requesting audio some time before the output pipeline is
finnished

  * ./modules/codec/a52old/a52old.c: the a52old decoder as well.

  * ./modules/codec/mad/libmad.c: ported to the latest aout changes. Still
    doesn't work here, though.

* Audio and video should now _always_ be perfectly in sync.
* Changes in a52.c (end_date management) must be ported to other codecs,
  otherwise mixer errors will appear.
* Audio output plug-in can now tell whether they can handle a little
  clock drift (for instance, inserting zeroes after a pause).

    won't unload it. This makes us more fault-tolerant with crap libraries
    that are making use of atexit().
  * ./configure.in: svgalib can now be a plugin.
  * ./modules/misc/gtk_main.c: gtk_main doesn't need g_atexit anymore.

    because <gnome.h> already does it for us.

    Currently only supports 256 color output, and defaults to 320x200. You need     to be root to use it, it may leave your console in an unusable state, lock
    up your video card, it will segfault at exit if you compile it as a plugin
    because of SVGAlib's ludicrous use of atexit() and signal().
    Apart from these few glitches, it's rather OK, use "-I dummy -V svgalib"
    to activate. Q or Esc to quit (press for a long time if it doesn't work).

  * ./modules/audio_filter/converter/s16tofloat32.c: converter needed for
    a52old, includes the walken trick and b_in_place = true.

* modules.c : we now check the directory plugins/ to find some plugins.
(this will allow us to use the packager / installer which wasn't aware
of plugins -> modules :)

*Set output format to AOUT_FMT_SPDIF when in spdif mode.

S/PDIF does not work here in oss though (output starving).

    all instances of a module get changed when options such as gtk-tooltips
    or gnome-toolbartext are toggled.

    of Pascal Levesque.

    gtk_main() in its own thread, and does nothing on subsequent calls. This
    ensures that gtk_main is only running once.
  * ./modules/gui/familiar/*, modules/gui/gtk/*: the familiar, gtk and gnome
    modules are now fully reentrant thanks to their use of the gtk_main module.
  * ./src/libvlc.c: implemented vlc_set(), a wrapper for config_Put* available
    to external programs.
  * ./src/libvlc.c: removed vlc_stop() and vlc_end(), everything is now done
    by vlc_destroy().
  * ./modules/control/rc/rc.c: implemented a few new functions. For instance,
    run "vlc -I rc" and then type "intf gtk" or "intf gnome". You can even
    launch several of them. "segfault" works, too.

 NEVER DIE ! MUUAHAHAHAHAHAAAA !!

    familiar interface is asked to quit.

pause/play and change of audio channel.

    the latest aout3 changes.

* Fixed a few boolean_t.

* Major changes in the handling of dates in the audio output ; still buggy,
but differently.
* Fixed a major bug in the aout pre-filters, preventing to run any other
decoder than liba52.
* p_aout->output.pf_play now has only one argument.

    it depends on the audio format. Cosmetic changes. The S/PDIF output may
    work.
