This patch contains bugfixes for the esd audio output driver that I uncovered while trying to send sound to a remote esd server over a wireless (11 mbs, just enough to handle to sound) link. First, the sound was full "ticking" sounds. I found a bug that prevented the "send the remainder of this block" code from ever being called - so large chunks of audio were simply being ignored. Fixing this bug removed the "ticking" from audio streams. Fixing this bug, however, uncovered another problem - when the socket buffer was full, doing a blocking write to finish the buffer would take far too long and would turn video into a chunky mess. I'd imagine this blocking write would be fine for an audio-only stream, but it turns out to hold up the video far too much. The solution in this patch is to write as much data as possible to the socket, and then return as soon as possible, reporting the number of bytes actually written accurately back to mplayer. I've tested it on both local and remote esd servers, and it works well. Patch by Benjamin Osheroff <[e-mail]>

Description: The Ultimate Movie Player 
 MPlayer is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and non-x86
 CPUs, see the ports section). It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG/OGM, VIVO,
 ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, PVA files,
 supported by many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can
 watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, RealMedia, and DivX movies too (and you don't
 need the avifile library at all!).
 .
 Another big feature of MPlayer is the wide range of supported output drivers.
 It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, but you
 can also use GGI and SDL (and this way all their drivers) and some lowlevel
 card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and Radeon, Mach64, Permedia3) too!
 Most of them supports software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in
 fullscreen.
 .
 MPlayer supports displaying through some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as
 the DVB and DXR3/Hollywood+.
 .
 And what about the nice big antialiased shaded subtitles (10 supported types)
 with European/ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic, Korean
 fonts, and the onscreen display (OSD)?
