Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] Fwd: hively decoder patch
The author has replied to me in this thread: http://hivelytracker.com/forum.php?action=viewthreadid=153 He simply says Credit is fine.

There's also a forum you could post in to ask. It really does look like none of these people ever bothered to think about applying a license to their code, but given the number of ports and informality of the website it seems like they might be amenable to a GPL so it could go into MPD... good luck.

This allows you to playback .ahx and .hvl files. There is no library for this format, just hvl_replay.c and hvl_replay.h which are distributed by hivelytracker.com. This code does not appear to have any license. If this is merged, it should be a configure option, something like, --enable-hively. If the code does not have any license, who allowed you to copy it then? Without explicit permission (usually given by the license), we're not allowed to use it. Please tell me where to download sample files in that format. I've never heard of it, but I'm always happy to get new decoders into MPD (once the copyright issue is solved).

What's the problem with GLib threading? I have never worked on MMU-less architectures.. pthreads didn't work well at the time in my experience, I had to use clone() (this was back in the day with uclinux 2.4): - LinuxThreads always spawns an extra manager thread in the background - clone() allows per-task signal handlers, so it was easier to keep the old signal handler code from 0.1[123].x - 2.4 also didn't have posix_fadvise, so I needed an extra thread to do background read ahead (no mmap + madvise since there was no MMU, either). - pthreads enforces a minimum stack size of 64K (the default is 2M(!)), I largest stack I ever needed was much smaller than that and I had readahead thread using ~500 bytes. malloc is (or was at the time) very wasteful in uclinux. All that code was based around the limitations of the uclinux 2.4 kernel at the time, so if you're using 2.6 it may not be worth it... -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
