* First hooks for changing the audio output plug-in and its parameters
  on-the-fly.

  for information on how to use it in your interface plug-ins. In the
  SDL vout, b and n are mapped to sound down/sound up.
* Fixed a major in the mad plug-in with wrong dates.
* Fixed a compilation bug.

untested. Meuuh, could you test it ?

* configure.in: Fixed a typo.

    systems which don't have swab(). Fixed a memory leak.

    because the BeOS system_Init spawns a thread, which makes use of msg_*
    functions.
  * ./src/misc/threads.c, ./src/misc/win32_specific.c: put the detection
    of SignalObjectAndWait in the thread system initialization because
    system_Init() now happens after msg_Create().

        - fix a bug while playing last frames (in last chunk).
        - add seek support, not complete but usable.

    javascript. It's also in C++, but we didn't have the choice.

* modules/codec/a52.c: Fixed detection of A/52 sound.
* modules/audio_filter/converter/a52tofloat32.c: Fixed a bug related to
  downmixing.
* ALL: Added hooks for audio volume management.

Porting video out plugin/builtin for Qt Embedded to CVS is not complete. (Please do not use it.)

    chroma parsing.

    in the Mozilla plugin, we do not try to unmap it.

    dependencies in debian/control.

Ported Qt Embedded video out to vlc-0.5.0 (it is not useable yet).

Reused --enable-qte for Video Out support under Qt Embedded.

autodetect S/PDIF hardware support and the audio output plug-in chooses
the best one. Of course it probably breaks existing output modules, see
oss.c for hints :).

Also include minor tweaks which will entitle us to decode and output 5.1
audio. It may break existing plug-ins, too. See
audio_output.c:aout_FormatNbChannels for hints.

policy.

OSS work with my sblive! now :). It still works on my other computer too
but please test.

pf_setformat disappears (it was never called independantly of Open). If
the format needs to be changed, we will have Close/Open. This is much
simpler than before. Please check that I didn't break some plug-ins.

  (see my last mail).
* aout: Rewrote our whole lock policy. The output thread now doesn't require
  the mixer_lock, which might avoid delays. We will also be able to change
  the filter pipelines at runtime.

    compilation fixes (typo, undeclared var).

    might break the HP/UX or Solaris ports, please check if possible.
  * ./src/misc/threads.c: fixed syntax in the st and pth implementations.

* ALL : Added a priority argument to vlc_thread_create(), so that audio
and input threads can run with a higher real-time priority, on systems
allowing you to use priorities.
