Follow-up to that discussion: the following patchlet from your patch 925843cf demonstrates why I don't like a general-use deconst() function: index 49d69ee..c1f7849 100644 --- a/src/audioOutputs/audioOutput_shout.c +++ b/src/audioOutputs/audioOutput_shout.c @@ -637,7 +636,8 @@ static int myShout_play(AudioOutput * audioOutput, for (i = 0; i < samples; i++) { for (j = 0; j < sd->audioFormat->channels; j++) { - vorbbuf[j][i] = (*((mpd_sint16 *) playChunk)) / 32768.0; + vorbbuf[j][i] = + (*((mpd_sint16 *)deconst_ptr(playChunk))) / 32768.0; playChunk += bytes; } } This happens when it's just too easy and comfortable to use deconst_ptr() ...
