    WMA patches cleaned up and sent

    I've extracted my changes for initial ogg support now.

    Debian bug #293398 has the daapd patch. There are some new build-deps needed too (on vorbis libs).

    The first-cut wmamp ogg support is up at https://www.einval.com/~steve/software/wma/wmamp-ogg.diff.gz. The build environment for wmamp is rather large and scary. What I've used is:

    • arm cross-compiler and dev tools built from the debian toolchain-source package
    • libfreetype2 arm packages (using dpkg-cross)
    • libz arm packages (using dpkg-cross)
    • libhttpd-1.3
    • mDNSResponder from Apple
    • The Tremor integer Ogg Vorbis decoding library.

    I briefly looked at adding FLAC support tonight, but I lost interest as I don't actually have any FLAC-encoded audio. Instead I'm now looking into better parallelisation (or at least double-buffering) of the ogg download.
