MP3 decoder upgrade work.
Ripped out SMPEG and mpglib support, replaced it with "mpg123.c" and libmpg123.
libmpg123 is a much better version of mpglib, so it should solve all the
problems about MP3's not seeking, or most modern MP3's not playing at all,
etc. Since you no longer have to make a tradeoff with SMPEG for features, and
SMPEG is basically rotting, I removed it from the project.
There is still work to be done with libmpg123...there are MMX, 3DNow, SSE,
Altivec, etc decoders which we don't have enabled at the moment, and the
build system could use some work to make this compile more cleanly, etc.
Still: huge win.

This version of TiMidity should contain all the fixes from the September 25 2003 SDL_mixer CVS snapshot. In addition, I've made some changes of my own, e.g.: * All file access is done through SDL_RWops. This means the MIDI stream no longer has to be a file. (The config file and instruments still have to be though.) * Replacing of TiMidity's endian-handling with SDL's. * Removal of much unused or unnecessary code, such as + The "hooks" for putting a user interface onto TiMidity. + The antialias filter. It wasn't active, and even at 4 kHz I couldn't hear any difference when activating it. + Removed all traces of LOOKUP_HACK and LOOKUP_INTERPOLATION. According to the code comments they weren't very good anyway. ("degrades sound quality noticeably"). I also removed the disclaimer about the "8-bit uLaw to 16-bit PCM and the 13-bit-PCM to 8-bit uLaw tables" disclaimer, since I believe those were the tables I removed. + Removed LOOKUP_SINE since it was already commented out. I think we can count on our target audience having math co-processors nowadays. + Removed USE_LDEXP since it wasn't being used and "it doesn't make much of a difference either way". + Removed decompress hack from open_file() since it didn't look very portable. + Removed heaps of unnecessary constants. + Removed unused functions. + Assume that LINEAR_INTERPOLATION is always used, so remove all code dealing with it not being so. It's not that I think the difference in audio quality is that great, but since it wouldn't compile without code changes I assume no one's used it for quite some time... + Assume PRECALC_LOOPS is always defined. Judging by the comments it may not make much of a difference either way, so why maintain two versions of the same code? * Moving several static globals into the MidiSong struct. This includes sample rate, formate, etc. which are now all per-song. * Moved some typedefs (e.g. MidiSong) to timidity.h for easy inclusion into the MIDI decoder. * Added free_pathlist(). * Replaced TiMidity's own 8, 16 and 32-bit types with SDL's. * Made TiMidity look for its configuration file in both /etc and /usr/local/lib/timidity. (Windows version remains unchanged.) * Timidity_PlaySome() now takes three arguments. A MidiSong, a decode buffer and decode buffer size in bytes. (MidiSong is a new argument, and buffer size used to be in samples.) In addition, it will return the number of bytes decoded. * Added Timidity_Exit(). * Removed Timidity_Stop() and Timidity_Active(). Stopping playback should be handled by SDL_sound, and Timidity_PlaySome() will return 0 when the MIDI stream is finished. * Modified the ToneBank stuff to allow some data to be shared between MidiSongs. * The following files have been removed: controls.c, controls.h, filter.c, filter.h, sdl_a.c, sdl_c.c * config.h has been renamed as options.h to avoid confusion with the automatically generated config.h for SDL_sound. * Added support for loading DLS format instruments: Timidity_LoadDLS(), Timidity_FreeDLS(), Timidity_LoadDLSSong() * Added Timidity_Init_NoConfig()
