Basically, just give it a good rewrite.
Software codec recording can be implemented in a more straightforward
and simple manner and made more robust through the better codec
control now available.
Encoded audio buffer uses a packed format instead of fixed-size
chunks and uses smaller data headers leading to more efficient usage.
The greatest benefit is with a VBR format like wavpack which needs
to request a maximum size but only actually ends up committing part
of that request.
No guard buffers are used for either PCM or encoded audio. PCM is
read into the codec's provided buffer and mono conversion done at
that time in the core if required. Any highly-specialized sample
conversion is still done within the codec itself, such as 32-bit
(wavpack) or interleaved mono (mp3).
There is no longer a separate filename array. All metadata goes
onto the main encoded audio buffer, eliminating any predermined
file limit on the buffer as well as not wasting the space for
unused path queue slots.
The core and codec interface is less awkward and a bit more sensible.
Some less useful interface features were removed. Threads are kept
on narrow code paths ie. the audio thread never calls encoding
functions and the codec thread never calls file functions as before.
Codecs no longer call file functions directly. Writes are buffered
in the core and data written to storage in larger chunks to speed up
flushing of data. In fact, codecs are no longer aware of the stream
being a file at all and have no access to the fd.
SPDIF frequency detection no longer requires a restart of recording
or plugging the source before entering the screen. It will poll
for changes and update when stopped or prerecording (which does
discard now-invalid prerecorded data).
I've seen to it that writing a proper header on full disk works
when the format makes it reasonably practical to do so. Other cases
may have incorrect data sizes but sample info will be in tact. File
left that way may play anyway.
mp3_enc.codec acquires the ability to write 'Info' headers with LAME
tags to make it gapless (bonus).

* shrinking now considers freespace just before the alloc-to-be-shrinked,
that means less (or sometimes none at all) is taken from the audio buffer.
* core_available() now searches for the best free space, instead of simply the end,
i.e. it will not return 0 if the audio buffer is allocated and there's free space
before it. It also runs a compaction to ensure maximum contiguous memory.
audio_buffer_available() is also enhanced. It now considers the 256K reserve buffer,
and returns free buflib space instead if the audio buffer is short.
This all fixes the root problem of FS#12344 (Sansa Clip+: PANIC occurred when
dircache is enabled), that alloced from the audio buffer, even if it was very
short and buflib had many more available as free space before it.

The buflib memory allocator is handle based and can free and
compact, move or resize memory on demand. This allows to effeciently
allocate memory dynamically without an MMU, by avoiding fragmentation
through memory compaction.
This patch adds the buflib library to the core, along with
convinience wrappers to omit the context parameter. Compaction is
not yet enabled, but will be in a later patch. Therefore, this acts as a
replacement for buffer_alloc/buffer_get_buffer() with the benifit of a debug
menu.
See buflib.h for some API documentation.

The buffer_offset paramter of audio_init_recording() is removed as it
was unused in both implementations.

Namely, introduce buffer_get_buffer() and buffer_release_buffer().
buffer_get_buffer() aquires all available and grabs a lock, attempting to
call buffer_alloc() or buffer_get_buffer() while this lock is locked will cause
a panicf() (doesn't actually happen, but is for debugging purpose).
buffer_release_buffer() unlocks that lock and can additionally increment the
audiobuf buffer to make an allocation. Pass 0 to only unlock if buffer was
used temporarily only.
buffer_available() is a replacement function to query audiobuflen, i.e. what's
left in the buffer.
Buffer init is moved up in the init chain and handles ipodvideo64mb internally.
Further changes happened to mp3data.c and talk.c as to not call the above API
functions, but get the buffer from callers. The caller is the audio system
which has the buffer lock while mp3data.c and talk mess with the buffer.
mpeg.c now implements some buffer related functions of playback.h, especially
audio_get_buffer(), allowing to reduce #ifdef hell a tiny bit.
audiobuf and audiobufend are local to buffer.c now.

Use host's functions for file i/o directly (open(), close() ,etc.), not the sim_* variants.
Some dir functions need to be wrapped still because we need to cache the parents dir's path (host's dirent doesn't let us know).
For the same reason (incompatibility) with host's dirent) detach some members from Rockbox' dirent struct and put it into an extra one,
the values can be retrieved via the new dir_get_info().
Get rid of the sim_ prefix for sleep as well and change the signature to unix sleep().

The simulator defines PLATFORM_HOSTED, as RaaA will do (RaaA will not define SIMULATOR).
The new define is to (de-)select code to compile on hosted platforms generally.
Should be no functional change to targets or the simulator.

This is to a) to cleanup firmware/common and firmware/include a bit, but also b) for Rockbox as an application which should use the host system's c library and headers, separating makes it easy to exclude our files from the build.

Introduce a new .init section for initialisation code, so that it can be copied to an area which is later overwritten before calling. The stack/bss can then overwrite that code, effectively freeing the code size that the initialisation routines need. Gives a few kB ram usage back.
Only implemented for PP and as3525 so far. More targets could be added, as well as more functions.

* Use events to notify things when the track has changed instead of the nasty has_track_changed()
* Event for when the mp3entry for the next track is avilable (which allows alot more tags to be static which means less redrawing in the WPS)
* virtually guarentee that the mp3entry sturct returned by audio_current/next_track() is going to be valid for the duration of the current track. The only time it wont be now is during the time between the codec finishing the previous track and the next track actually starting (~2s), but this is not an issue as long as it is called again when the TRACK_CHANGED event happens (or just use the pointer that gives)
It is still possible to confuse the WPS with the next tracks id3 info being displayed but this should fix itself up faster than it used to (and be harder to do)

implemented but manual tuning works nicely. Thanks to Rafaël Carré,
Bertrik Sikken and Robert Menes for suggestions and debugging help.

The cover pictures are loaded from external bitmaps. JPEG and embedded art are not supported. The pictures will only be drawn on the main display. There is no resizing but it is possible to specify the WPS bitmap size in the bitmap names (e.g. cover.100x100.bmp).
The bitmaps are stored in the main buffer and read directly from there. Currently, duplicate bitmaps will simply be present several times in the buffer, but this will be improved.
To enable for a target, #define HAVE_ALBUMART in its config file.
