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() ... I'd write:
