* ./plugins/filter/distort.c: fixed a typo in option names.

   Usage: "--codec dummy" will use the dummy decoder for all streams, and
  save the stream to a stream.1242 file (where 1242 is the internal vlc
  object ID). If the input file was for instance an mpeg file, you can
  play one of the resulting files using an mp3 player.

  * ./mozilla/vlcplugin.h: added .mov and .mp4 files to the plugin.
  * ./Makefile: we no longer try to merge .a files into libvlc.a, but rather
    add them to the vlc-config output.

 libdvdplay installed (available from videolan CVS), and request plugins
compilation in the usual way:
	--enable-dvdplay.
Note that libdvdplay needs libdvdread and libdvdcss.

Currently it has only been tested under linux, with gnome interface (optional)
and xvideo output.

What works (more or less):
 -DVD reading in some rare cases :) (title and menus),
 -Menu pause,
 -Seeking,
 -Selecting directly a specific title/chapter/angle,
 -Changing audio, sub-picture, angle during playback,
 -Interactive menus with mouse only.

What is missing:
 -Menu buttons highlighting (needs spudec patch),
 -Keyboard interaction (needs a specific part in port specific plugins),
 -A specific interface to navigate through menus (needs that I move my ass),
 -Interactive menus won't work with other output plugins so long as they
  have not been patched to send mouse/keyboard events to vlc interface,
 -Whatever you need.

Known bugs (bugs in libdvdplay mostly):
 -Seeking in some menus or intro titles (bad vobu map),
 -Read/seek error with some DVDs,
 -the configure needs tweaking,
 -numerous segfaults,
 -decoder/output modules locking error,
 -fuzzy colors in menus when spudec is active (default in menus).

The plugin is not guaranteed to work anywhere outside my computer. If it break your, don't come and complain to me :).

 * ffmpeg and mp4: some clean up and change the way ffmpeg is
initialised.

Implemented muting

Implemented a intf_vlc_wrapper to "shield" the BeOS code from the underlying
vlc structurs, yet to be completed.
Attempted to fix subtitle and audio selection, currently not working.

  * include/input_ext-intf.h: killed p_es->b_audio, since i_cat already fills
    its purpose.
  * include/input_ext-intf.h: killed p_es->i_type in favour of p_es->i_fourcc.
  * include/video.h: killed p_pic->p_plane->b_margin; now i_visible_pitch is
    always valid.

  * ./src/libvlc.h: replaced --mpeg-adec and --ac3-adec with --codec; see
    vlc --help for more information.

  * include/video.h: removed fourcc values which should _not_ be global
    (thanks fenrir for convincing me).
  * ALL: video output plugins use the VLC_FOURCC macro to build their fourccs.
  * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: removed the last remaining call to
    input_ChangeES.

   Things I'm not sure about and need comments:
    - I used "mpga" and "mpgv" for MPEG (1+2) audio and video fourcc values.
    - I also introduced "spu ", "lpcm" and "ac3 ".
    - I removed for instance "MP4_GetCodec" because it wasn't really
      used except for the description string. I hope this change did not
      break anything really important.
    - fenrir, I must have broken a lot of things you wrote. Sorry in advance.

    vasprintf arguments to NULL for extra safety.

    selection string. "any" matches any module, and "none" always fails.

    You can for instance use "--vout none" to disable video output, or
    "--intf gtk,any" to use the gtk interface or any other one if gtk isn't
    available. Hope it's clear :)

Improved Overlay bitmap handling
Removed switch workplace bug

    really a fix.
  * ./plugins/memcpy/fastmemcpy.h: commented out suspicious code.

Thanks to jlj to show me this and to tell me what to check to solve it.

    configuration items.
  * rest: new input info subsystem.

Have a look in plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c to see how to add info.
Have a look in plugins/text/rc.c to see how to read info.

right).
 * cinepak : take care of grayscale option.

    make package descriptions less misleading.
  * ./bootstrap.sh: use C locale for generating vlc_symbols.h.
  * ./bootstrap.sh: don't generate pofiles by default.

--enable-hurry-up ). Begin to work.

    which was causing crashes with some demux plugins (mpeg_audio, avi).

It allows to play mpeg4 file badly encoded(illegal VLC code).(Sam you
should be able to play your .mp4 file by setting it to -1, with recent
ffmpeg cvs).

  * ./src/libvlc.c, ./include/vlc/vlc.h: created reentrant versions of the
    libvlc API.
  * ./src/vlc.c: vlc uses the non-reentrant libvlc functions.
  * ./mozilla/vlcplugin.c: the mozilla plugin uses the reentrant functions.
  * ./debian/*: created packages for libvlc0-dev.

  call a liba52 function simultaneously (liba52 isn't reentrant) ;
* ./plugins/a52/a52.c : Made liba52 the default AC3 decoder.

    because some systems (such as HP-UX...) have them inlined.

    HP-UX's dynamic linker which would otherwise be unable to open them.
