* ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: the log window is now black with colourful text.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: ported the log window to the GNOME interface.
  * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: messages are sent to the queue even if
    -vvvv* wasn't specified.

  * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: fixed my mistakes from yesterday.

  * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.: various fixes, thanks to Sigmund Augdal.
  * ./plugins/text/logger.c: rewrote an ugly loop.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: added a Gtk+ window containing all the log
    messages; updated in real time. To open it, go to "view"->"messages".

   * Got rid of TRACE and intf_DbgMsg which were seldom used anyway.
   * All intf_*Msg functions now write to stderr.
   * Implemented a message queue interface plugins can subscribe to.
   * Wrote the logger interface plugin. Usage:
      vlc -I logger:filename.log
   * Lots of fixes in the SPU renderer.

  * MacOS X intf now returns, allowing vlc to terminate properly
  * Added a new make target: package-macosx

* Win32 compilation fixes (mingw includes dirent)
* configure now checks for ddraw.h and not directx.h
* vout_directx doesn't include directx.h anymore (this file isn't part of
    the directx sdk)
* moved all the stuff from aout_waveout.c directly into waveout.c (I don't
    know what I was thinking about when I created these two files ;-)
* until we fix the audio buffer underrun problem, waveout will be the
    default audio output on win32 (instead of directx).

  * ALL: got rid of *_Probe functions because most of them were duplicates
    of the real _Init or _Create functions. That's 1000 lines of code gained.
  * ./src/misc/modules.c: we try not to keep the global lock in module_Need,
    which should speed up output spawning.
  * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed vlc:quit command.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: compilation fix.
  * ./plugins/macosx/*: preliminary fixes for the vout4 port.

   Notes on the *_Probe eradication:
  o I probably broke the DirectX video output, because of the "must init and
    run in the same thread" issue. I'll fix this ASAP.
  o Subtitles are broken (or at least, pretty ugly) in RGB mode.
  o The input plugins still have *_Probe functions. This will disappear when
    meuuh is finished with the access plugins.
  o The decoder plugins still have *_Probe functions. This is probably not
    going to change, it looks OK to me.

  * Grmbl. Forgot to commit those Win32 fixes last time, and they were
    stuck on VTHR. Sorry xav, this probably explains why I couldn't
    find the commit log :-)

  * ./plugins/beos/*: BeOS fixes from Rudolf Cornelissen.
  * ./src/interface/main.c: --desync now really accepts a value in ms.
  * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a crash when not opening a VCD.
  * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: fixed subtitles under BeOS and
    other architectures which don't support overlay.

* compilation fix (include stdint.h)
* fixed a SEGV

  * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: ported the BeOS RGB video output to
    vout4. The overlay video output still needs to be written though.

* Just renamed the liba52_adec plugin into a52 to comply with the naming
convention used by the other plugins.

    <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>, activate with --enable-lirc.
  * ./configure.in: put liba52_adec in a builtin for PIC/non-PIC reasons.

* New AC3 decoder plugin using liba52 from Aaron Holtzman and
    Michel Lespinasse.
    This plugin isn't used by default, you have to specify:
    --ac3_adec liba52

  * ./src/misc/modules.c: changed module_Need to make it possible to
    have several modules with the same shortcut name.

  * Fixed stuff in the wall filter. Extended syntax:
     --filter wall         % open a wall (3x3 is the default value)
     --filter wall:2       % open a 2x2 wall
     --filter wall:3x2     % open a 3x2 wall
     --filter wall:2x1:0   % open a 2x1 wall, only display block 0
     --filter wall:2:0,3   % open a 2x2 wall, only display blocks 0 and 3
    For instance, if you have 2 computers listening to a network stream, on
    the left computer you use --filter wall:2x1:0 and on the right computer
    you use --filter wall:2x1:1

* Added mstrtime() to module_symbols_t so we can compile the mpeg_vdec
    plugin with TRACE mode enabled.

-Check frequency in ac3_adec and change fifo if needed,

-Moved initialisation of p_aout from plugins to audio_output.c
If audio output rate is psecified at launch time, we try to use it by default.

Note that audio output currently suffers from frequent underruns.
This has not been fixed here.

* Added double-buffering for the directx plugin in overlay mode.
* Several directx bug-fixes:
    - implemented the right behaviour on exit.
    - fixed bug preventing the creation of several windows.
        (the wall filter is working now :-))
    - fixed unnecessary background redraws (it made the video flicker).
    - fixed bug where we were losing the video display because of lost
        surfaces in video memory.
    - when using hardware overlay, the output window will now specify:
        "(using hardware overlay)".

  * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: we don't use DPMS functions if they are
    not available.

* Added a new very simple audio plugin for Win32. This plugin uses the
    waveOut API which is a lot easier to use for streaming stuff than
    directsound. (you don't have to take care of underflows anymore
    because it doesn't use circular buffers).
    If you are having a lot of underflows, this plugin is currently
    better adapted than the directx plugin.

* Moved some initialization stuff in audio_out.c so we can now the
    caracteristics of the audio stream before calling aout_Open().

It is now activated with option --with-dvdread, that takes the same options
as --with-dvdcss.
If you link with libdvdread statically dvdread is compiled builtin ; if you
link dynamically, it is compiled as a plugin.

  * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: fixed a missing function initialization
    which made decoder plugins segfault in GetChunk calls.
  * ./configure.in: proper soundcard.h check from Yves Duret.

 are not!

-replaced dvdcss_title(,) with dvdcss_seek( ,,DVDCSS_SEEK_KEY )

*Updated local libdvdread, so that it does not depend on libdvdcss
(ala dummy_dvdcss) and modified configure to reflect changes.

* mad PTS should finally be accurate
* Some configure changes.

+ libmad_input now takes one frame at a time (see mad_adec.h for defines)
+ audio_linear_dither() gives better sound quality then s24_to_s16_pcm(),
  but also makes audio artefacts louder so disabled it for now (see file
  mad_libmad.c)
+ cleaned up libmad_output (see file mad_libmad.c)
+ cleaned up InitThread (see file mad_adec.c)
+ Made buffer size match libmad's expectations (see file mad_adec.h)
+ updated documentation

* Fixed crashes on exit in the directx plugin
* vout_PlacePicture is now accepting picture width=height=0

* Win32 (NT/2000/XP) fix for libdvdcss: first attempt to open the DVD
  device in read/write mode so we can use ioctls. If this fails
  (insufficent privileges) we at least open in read-only mode so the
  libdvdcss title decryption method can be used.

  * ./configure.in: added extra checks for strange compilers such as
    Borland C++ which do not support all gcc options. Note that vlc does
    not compile with bcc32 yet, but is getting closer and closer to.
