This might break things. Expect a performance increase.

 . removed a few useless malloc() and unused variables in the audio SDL stuff
 . prepared the work for built-in modules (not yet finished)

 . --aout sdl now works

- modified alsa and sdl default level to 50.

  please try.
- modified configure.in and all that stuff. Re-run configure
- SDL audio, video and interface are all part of the same .so now.
- remove YUV old files :->

* Removed -fargument-noalias-global which causes problems with as (???).

test it, replace vdec_motion_inner_mmx.c by vdec_motion_inner_mmxext.c.

I'm interested in performance feedback.

   kernel and from mpeg2dec. I still don't know how to detect if code
   compiled with -mcpu=pentiumpro will run, since the cpuid arcanes are
   quite obtuse to me. Perhaps we should also have a way not to load modules
   if they have been compiled with a different CPU to avoid segfaults.

 . add check for MMX EXT extensions, which doesn't work, which is a good
   thing since there is no MMX EXT IDCT yet :)

   need to touch plugins/idct/idct_mmxext.c (ok, the filenames suck).

 [ include/config.h.in has changed, don't forget tu run ./configure ]

 . fixed the --aout, --idct and --yuv flags
 . updated manpage and --(long)help output to reflect that change
 . removed a few unneeded #includes here and there
 . cosmetic changes in error messages in input.c

   Currently available flags are now :

     --aout dummy
            esd
            dsp
            alsa

     --idct idct
            idctclassic
            idctmmx

     --yuv yuv
           yuvmmx

  --vout works like before, but still uses the old plugin system for now.

available information
. Fixed a bug in parsing of VTS attributes
. Fixed a bug in input.c that made input plugin initialize even though
no stream is reachable (thanks Sam)

I hope I'll be able to get the position of the movie soon.

Meuuh : the seek function of the plugin now take off_t as argument which
could be a problem later. Maybe it should take off64_t or time argument.

   duplication
 . YUV transformations now use the new module API ; now only the vout
   and interface still depend on the old plugin API
 . changed TestMMX to TestCPU because we will be able to test for other
   specific extensions (3DNow, SSE) for the forthcoming IDCT we'll
   borrow to mpeg2dec (as usual :P)
 . don't show "hiding module" messages anymore except in debug mode
 . swapped C IDCT and Classic IDCT scores since the classic one seems
   to be faster ; anyway you should use the MMX one
 . fixed a Makefile bug under BeOS
 . tried to fix the cpuid code so that it compiles under BeOS (Polux, can
   you test it when you have time ?)

* Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS ordering.
Our pts are _at last_ accurate.

* Fixed --width and --height support in SDL

   OK, so I foired input.h once again. But this one works. For real.

 . fixed the bug-that-made-the-vlc-segfault-on-exit, which means that
   more than ever, � le client ne segfaulte pas �.

 . there was still a problem upon quitting: sometimes the null packet
   wasn't big enough to reach a decoder breakpoint, so I now create 10
   of them (since I can't make it bigger) to be sure. Meuuh, what do
   you think ?

 . fixed the Makefile to spare a few variables here and there.

 . reduced module hide delay, removed loading of the audio output
   plugins since they are now modules.

 . changed a few intf_Msg to intf_DbgMsg, and added "vout:", "intf:",
   and so on in a few other messages.

 . removed unused includes in the idct modules.

initialized. It remains some segfaults but it globally works.
. DVD mode is enabled with option --dvd. For the moment, it only read
the first vts and find the movie if it is at the beginning of the title
set.

Coming soon:
. udf filesystem management to access over 2Gb zones.
. detection of the offset to the movie inside a vts when it is not at
the beginning.

Is there a chance that using fopen/fseek function instead of open/lseek
system calls solve the 2Gb issue ?

. Parsing of ifo file almost completed.
. Still does not work well.

 . second part of the commit

 . the IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT,
   our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
 . cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
 . fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules

   WARNING: a new directory has been added, which means you have to
   use `cvs update -dP' to update ; files have been removed , which means
   you either have to run `make distclean' or remove the .deps directory,
   and the configure script has changed, which means you have to run it
   again. Don't complain before having checked this :)

   Note about the IDCT modules: there is no way to choose the one we
   use, but you may remove the module in lib/ to prevent it from being
   loaded. The preference order is : MMX, Optimized, Classic.

INPUT_PTS_DELAY down to 200 ms ;
video heap down from 10 to 5 pictures ;
decoder fifo size from 1023 to 511 PES ;
* Fixed various bugs in 32 bit-versions of input_ext-dec.h ;
* Fixed a bug in GetChunk() ;
* Renamed GetByte, GetWord, ShowWord to _GetByte, _GetWord, _ShowWord ;
* Moved decoder_fifo-specific code from programs.c to dec.c ;
* Fixed bugs in program.c that prevented vlc to close all decoders ;
* Gave sam a lesson for the use of the bitstream in spu_decoder.c :ppp ;
* Made the video parser unlock the reference pictures before quitting
(still one left, yaknow why ?)

   the last time. henri, that'll be one binouze.

    probably need a few fixes to work or even compile.

Done :
- ported the alsa plugin to the news vlc module API
- cosmetic changes

To do :
- check if it works with the latest alsa release
- add features ... prepare for 4 or more speakers

  . moved the MPEG audio decoder to the new bitstream

    I wasn't sure whether the bits counting method was effective to
  skip ancillary data at the end of a frame, but I kept it for
  safety. There is still a lot to optimize in the bit counting, like
  unrolling the first iteration of some loops, but I don't know if
  it would be worth it. The other solution would have been to look for
  a startcode after eache frame, without caring about the ancillary bits.

  . cleaning in the SPU decoder.

 . moved swab32 from input_ext-dec.h to common.h. We probably won't need
   it anymore really soon, since ntohl() and htonl() seem to be properly
   optimized when gcc is passed the right optimization flags.

 . fixed GetBits32 and RemoveBits32. I know the #ifdefs are useless since
   we only support u32 words, but it's a safe reminder. Comments appreciated
   on this fix since I may have b0rked something -- it runs well here though.

 . fixed a missing #ifdef STATS
    *grin*

* Move input_ext-dec.h to input.h ;
* New input_NullPacket function ;
* Fixed init bugs in input and vpar ;

* Fixed a purify bug in input_ps.c ;
* Added -mcpu=pentiumpro in the Makefile.

 . complete commenting of modules_core.h and small modifications
 . separated MODULE_CONFIG_START and ADD_WINDOW (Henri, beware)
 . fixed a very, very old bug that caused namespace collision between
   plugins (Henri, beware: call your aout_getplugin function like this,
   not alsa_aout_getplugin)
 . removed the Debian specific clean rules from the Makefile, since they
   are already handled by the debian/rules script.
 . tidied a few compilation rules (-lfoo should always be at the end)

 . just removed a forgotten debug message in the setpalette code

.Tried to add it to stable, failed, probably because of the initialisation codes which are differents...
