New release time!

http://dsbridge.googlecode.com/files/dsbridge-20090707-bin.zip

Changes:

- Now loads configuration from the module path, not current directory
- HTTP server can now both delay creation (to allow for the hosting
application
to initialize) and initialize networking on its own
- Added support to mute the source while streaming
- Encoder now rate-limits reading data from the input buffer to prevent
read-
ahead and drifting
- RingBuffer can now discard data from the tail
- added some re-parsing of dashes

This release contains corrections that should improve the drifting; it
does cut off a tiny bit of sound when it stops playing, but I'm working
on that.

It also does some fixes for iTunes support - this does require the new
dsbridge.ini or it will not work. Also the status icon will not be
visible.

Also, I switched the bitrate to 320kbps per default for both Spotify
and iTunes (still 192kbps if not configured), and it will mute the sound
when you start streaming (so you don't have to mute the application
itself). If you do not like this behaviour, change MuteWhileStreaming to
0 for the application that you are using. All of this is in
dsbridge.ini.
