[svn] - update documentation

1426:da317afd6c12

  GConf support:
    GConf >= 2.6.0  
    (http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.6/2.6.0/sources/)

If you compile Audacious from a fresh CVS checkout, you will also need
the following tools:

  automake >= 1.7
  autoconf >= 2.5

Note that these tools and libraries are bundled with major Linux
distributions. Use the packages provided with them where possible. If
those packages are not sufficiently new, you may need to search
third-party repositories for them.

This will put the binary in /usr/local/bin and plugins in
/usr/local/lib/audacious/

Note for packagers: The gnome-vfs option is VERY EXPERIMENTAL. We suggest you
do not use it in your official distribution packages.


2.2 Borderless Installation
---------------------------

The input plugins is what you use to play mp3, mod, wav and even movies with.


3.6.1.1 Cd Audio Player
-----------------------
Plays audio cd's on Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. This plugin does not pass
the sound through Audacious, so no visualization can be made nor will the
equalizer settings have any effect.

Before I explain the usage we better have a look on the configuration
first.

In the device tab you should set Device to your cdrom unit. /dev/cdrom

3.6.1.2 MPEG Layer 1/2/3 player
-------------------------------
The main reason why this player exists today is mp3 files, so what could be
better than a plugin that plays them?.

It's based off the mpg123 engine and handles MPEG Layer 1/2/3 files and
VBR (variable bit rate) MP3 files.

The first configuration tab is just like the MikMod one, and again, if you
have an older soundcard and the music is going half speed, change the
'Resolution' setting.

Note that these tools and libraries are bundled with major Linux
distributions. Use the packages provided with them where possible. If

do not use it in your official distribution packages.

If you want to use the automatic character detection system, then you should
use --enable-chardet.

---------------------------

The input plugins is what you use to play mp3, mod, wav and even movies with.


3.6.1.1 Cd Audio Player
-----------------------
Plays audio cd's on Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. This plugin typically does not
pass the sound through Audacious, so no visualization can be made nor will the
equalizer settings have any effect. It can however, be configured to do so.

Before I explain the usage we better have a look on the configuration
first.

In the device tab you should set Device to your cdrom unit. /dev/cdrom

3.6.1.2 MPEG Layer 1/2/3 player
-------------------------------
The main reason why this player exists today is mp3 files, so what could be
better than a plugin that plays them?.

It's loosely based off the mpg123 engine and handles MPEG Layer 1/2/3 files and
VBR (variable bit rate) MP3 files.

The first configuration tab is just like the MikMod one, and again, if you
have an older soundcard and the music is going half speed, change the
