Just compiling this for myself was no easy feat.  First it bombed out
looking for MakeMaker.pm, so I installed one, but it actually wanted a
*different* MakeMaker.pm.  Once that was solved, it failed looking for
libogg and libvorbis.  I knew I had those installed, but it turned out
I also needed libogg-dev and libvorbis-dev.  Seems like a chore to
make sure this sort of thing Just Works for whoever downloads
SlimServer.

I tested this a bit more this morning and I've got what seems to be a
repeatable way to get a No Album and No Artist entry in my DB.

1. Start the server with a fresh rescan.  Album count is 896 at this
point for me, Artists is 890.

2. Go to the Internet Radio link under Help, and enter an MP3 url into
the field.  For tests, I've been using the MP3 samples on the Darla
Records home page, such as http://www.darla.com/mp3/mp39026.mp3.  In
the Now Playing window the track title is the URL.  The artist is No
Artist and the album is No Album.

3. Let the MP3 play for ten seconds or so then go back to the main
page.  Album count is now 897 with 891 artists.  A No Artist and a No
Album entry appear in the DB.  Browse Artists -> No Artist shows "1
album with 1 song by 1 artist".  Browsing to the album "No Album"  has
no tracks in the list, although the web interface says there should be
1 song.  While the album and artist counts have gone up, the number of
songs remains steady at 10434.

4. If I go back to Internet Radio and play more URLs, the number of
songs that are supposedly under No Artist -> No Album increases
accordingly.  No tracks actually appear in the listing and the
'official' number of songs in the DB doesn't increase.

So, it looks like SlimServer is adding track info for songs not
actually in my library to the DB.  A rescan doesn't seem to make the
server realize they're not really there.

Let me know if you need this info in Bugzilla in an new or existing bug.
