[MPlayer-dev-eng] Patch: Low latency audio enhancements

[Ed Wildgoose]

The following is a patch which allows mplayer to work with pro sound 
card like my RME 9632.  These cards only allow two periods in the sound 
buffer, and this leads to very short audio latency.  This is easily 
fixed with the patch below which just removes the artificial limit 
stopping mplayer spinning it's loops more quickly.  (This is less 
invasive than my previous patch)

There is also a fix for what looks like a slight bugette in the the alsa 
output code where it seems to always overwrite the defaults for buffer 
size that are set at the top of the module.  This doesn't look deliberate.

Please check and apply to CVS.

..next stop: find out why mplayer won't work with the alsa-jack 
plugin... Anyone tried this? (Yeah I know there is a partial native 
plugin now).

Thanks

Ed Wildgoose
