and is replaced by two members : i_physical_channels and i_original_channels.
i_physical_channels describes the channels which are effectively present
in the stream (at the current point of the aout pipeline), whereas
i_original_channels represents the channels we used to constitute the
stream. For instance a mono stream (FRONT_CENTER) may emanate from a
FRONT_LEFT channel of a STEREO stream.

Additionally, this contains hooks to dynamically select the audio device
and the channels configuration. In order to do that, all aout plugins,
and all interface plug-ins need to be adapted. Currently only SDL
(partially OSS) and the rc interface have been adapted, please use them
as a guide. Other aout plug-ins have been temporarily disabled.

for several days until we fix that.

* modules/misc/network/ipv4.c: Fixed a long-standing segfault when saving
  preferences and asking for multicast.

usage),  and should not use more than --mms-maxbitrate (when there
are multiple audio or video streams).

         Fix playing of some live asf, seek improvement (at least for me ;)
but it's more some "kludge" with vlc clock than true fixes ...

 I will never understand how vlc clock works ....

* src/audio_output/intf.c: fixed a bug affecting audio volume initialization.

* Re-enabled float32 mixer (huh?).

quality else try to be closed to mms-maxbitrate ).

    it simply outputs a usage message.
  * ./src/*: fixed a bunch of (legitimate) warnings under VC++.
  * ./evc/*, ./msvc/*: split the workspaces into three projects (libvlc, vlc
    and plugins -- plugins doesn't build anything yet).

(Usefull with demuxdump).

 modules/demux/demuxdump.c : a little demux that dump raw stream.
(should work with all access...)

    directory because the two project files are starting to diverge.
  * ./evc/vlc.c: created a specific vlc.c file for Windows CE.
  * ./src/misc/messages.c: as WinCE doesn't have stdout or stderr, the message
    queue outputs to a logfile (until we have a proper interface).

* src/playlist/playlist.c: bugfix for when we delete the last playlist
   element (I'll get this one right... eventually ;).
* modules/demux/m3u.c: allow forcing the demux to be used by specifying the
   asx or m3u demux.

* src/playlist/playlist.c: when autodeleting an item, we don't need to skip
   to the next one.
* modules/demux/m3u.c: added .asx support and changed the autodetection of
   file type to just probe the file extension.

the playlist. Currently only autodetects files that start with #EXTM3U
otherwise you'll have to force it.

* include/vlc_playlist.h, src/playlist/playlist.c: added a b_autodeletion
   flag to the playlist item structure. If this flag is set then the playlist
   item will be deleted automatically after it has been played.

* modules/gui/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed deadlocks.
* modules/gui/gtk/gtk.c: fixed uninitialized variables.

  * ./modules/access/http.c: fixed a segfault (unchecked strstr return value).
  * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: removed platform-specific code and put
    it in plugins. This leads to some code duplication but I have an evil
    plan to get rid of that, too.

* modules/gui/gtk/gtk.c: small bug-fix for a crash on module loading.

* src/extras/libc.c: fixed typo.
* configure.ac.in: compilation fix on win32 for the mms access plugin (the
   plugin is linked with ws2_32).

 * modules/access/mms : add MMS (Microsoft Media Streaming) access (Support
only TCP, I will try to add UDP and HTTP as well).
 There are some problems with streams selections and we cannot seek, but
anyway it seems to work. (Usefull for some radio web)
 * other: enable mms access by default.

* src/audio_output/filters.c, src/audio_output/input.c, include/aout_internal.h,
   modules/audio_filter/resampler/*: Changes that allow the resamplers to set
   the start and end date of the frame it outputs.
   This allows us for instance to output a smaller frame than what we should, and
   keep the rest of the data to compute the resampling of the next frame.
   In short, we can implement much more complex resampling algorithms than before.

* modules/audio_filter/resampler/linear.c: rewrote the linear resampler. The audio
   quality doesn't seem to be better than the ugly resampler, maybe I shouldn't
   have wasted my time on this...

* modules/audio_output/file.c: will write a WAV header by default. Can be
   disabled with --no-audiofile-wav.
* modules/audio_filter/resampler/linear.c: disabled for now, until I actually
   manage to make it work without a problem.

    WIN32 isn't always defined under WinCE, but might be. Grmbl.
  * ./include/*: changed a few u* and s* to uint*_t and int*_t.

    yet so there's little that can be tested, but threads work at least.
  * ./src/extras/libc.c: renamed strndup.c to libc.c because a few other
    libc functions were added (strcasecmp, atof, getenv...).

    work is still needed for missing functions. I only touched libvlc for
    the moment, plugins will come in a long long while.
  * ./bootstrap: moved MSVC project files generation here; use --update-msvc.

case it forces mp3 demuxer (Should be ok...)

* src/audio_output/output.c: fixed another quality affecting bug.

* include/aout_internal.h src/audio_output/input.c: major change to the
   resampling algorithm. When resampling is requested to keep the audio stream
   synchronised to the main clock, we trigger it but we change the resampling
   rate only progressively so it doesn't get noticed too much by the listener.

 ./modules/audio_filter/resampler/linear.c: This should allways generate the
right number of samples now. The morale is never base your floating point
calculations on the output of integer divitions.

 * ffmpeg : adapt postprocessing for latest libavcodec version, add an
option to disable direct rendering as postprocessing is currently broken
with it, and with some files I have bad pictures.

  * ./msvc/vlc.vcw: skeleton of a WinCE project file (yet non-functional).

    file from the makefile.
  * ./msvc/*: moved the MSVC files here.
  * ./src/extras/*: moved the extra code here (used to be in src/misc,
    extras/GNUgetopt and extras/Win32_msvc).
  * ./include/*: a few warning fixes.

* configure.ac.in, modules/audio_filter/converter/*: added a s8tofloat32.c and
   u8tofloat32.c converter.
* modules/codec/araw.c: modified to also decode u8 pcm audio samples.

* ALL: using "%ll" in printf format strings is not portable (notably on win32) so
   we now use the I64Fx familly of macros to print 64 bits numbers (x being
   replaced by d,i,o,u,x or X).
   eg: msg_Dbg( p_this, "sample is "I64Fi" late", ll_time );

* src/misc/messages.c: got rid of ConvertPrintfFormatString().
