Audiere 1.9.4 released

It's been about two and a half years since the previous release of Audiere, and much has happened in that time. Here are the highlights:

- Replaced mpegsound with a stand-alone version of the MPEG audio decoder from ffmpeg's libavcodec library. The result is an MP3 decoder that is more portable and works with more MP3 files. MP3 files are now seekable as well. (Matt Campbell)

- Added Speex support.

- Added support for reading metadata tags from sample sources. So far, Vorbis comments are supported, as are ID3v1 and ID3v1.1 tags in MP3 files. Interface designed with help from Brian Robb and Andy Friesen.

- Added callback system for stream stop events. (Richard Schaaf and Chad Austin)

- Added CD audio support, using the MCI subsystem on Win32/Cygwin and libcdaudio on Linux. (Chad Austin and Richard Schaaf)

- Added MIDI support through the MCI subsystem on Win32 and Cygwin. (Chad Austin)

- Dramatically reduced the latency of the OSS device. (Matt Campbell)

- Rewrote the Resampler class to use DUMB's cubic interpolation resampler, resulting in much better resampling for devices such as OSS that use Audiere's own mixer. (Matt Campbell)

- Added bindings to wxWidgets. (Emanuel Dejanu)

- Fixed a bug in the DirectSound device implementation which significantly slowed down opening of devices and buffers. (Matt Campbell)

- Added pitchshift to the Python bindings. (Jason Chu)

- Split Doxygen documentation into one for users and one for developers.

This release also includes the usual slew of other bug fixes and minor improvements. For complete details, please refer to the change log.
