Beware! The following commit will crash your system when open "Sounds"; I'll
look into this now.
* Renamed the MMediaFilesManager to MediaFilesManager.
* Got rid of its Map usage, we're using std::map now instead.
* The media_server is using an unsafe method to transfer areas from the server
to the client. I've changed this for the BMediaFiles API to use Haiku's new
transfer_area() function. However, this seems to cause the above mentioned
problems.
* Improved naming and data exchange structures used for the BMediaFiles API.
* Fixed BMediaFiles leaking its lists.
* Cleanup.

Sorry for this large commit in advance; it's not really possible to divide this
into smaller parts:

media_addon_server:
* Removed (broken) use of (broken and inefficient) home-brewn Map, and List
classes. This also fixes a crash on shutdown when used with the malloc_debug
implementation. It's using stl::vector, and stl::map now instead.

_shared_buffer_list:
* Renamed _shared_buffer_list to SharedBufferList, and put it into the BPrivate
namespace. Also, made a class out of it.
* Separated shared buffer list creation from cloning.
* Enlarged maximum number of buffers to something that is not that evil, but
actually uses the space it has (ie. is a useful multiple of
shared_buffer_info that fills a multiple of B_PAGE_SIZE as much as possible).
* No longer drops into the debugger if the
* The list that is currently used is very inefficient for the features it
provides though (no change there).

_buffer_id_cache:
* Renamed to BufferCache, and put it into the private namespace
* It now deletes its buffers on deletion; since the BBufferConsumer will be
gone, too, at this point, there is little chance that there are still buffers
in use.
* Also, it's now using std::map instead of the (see above) Map class.

BBuffer:
* Got rid of the fBufferID member.

Misc.:
* Got rid of the global "team" variable; the media kit is now using the
private app kit's current_team() now.
* Added a lot of missing error checks (mostly memory allocations).
* Renamed fields like "flavorid" to flavor_id, renamed "dfi_*" fields to
something more detailed.
* Moved ServerInterface.h from src/servers/media/ to headers/private/media.
* Notifications.h was not self contained.
* Added missing licenses.
* Lots of cleanups, and coding style fixes.

What this doesn't fix:
* Bug #4954 which started all this (this comes next, though)
* Deinitialization is broken, as the PortPool is uninitialized too early, and
still used afterwards.
* The strange add-on monitoring code in the media_addon_server

Implemented support for get_next_encoder() variations from MediaFormats.h.
The AddOnManager in the media_server registers one encoder entry per
successful EncoderPlugin::RegisterNextEncoder(). This gives us a first idea
what media_format_family and input/output media_type is supported. The
mechanism may have to be extended, or the Encoder needs an API to specialize
a format further. In that case, the get_next_encoder() version that takes
optional _acceptedInput/OutputFormat needs to instantiate the plugin and
needs to ask the Encoder. But AFAIK, no app uses it like that anyway.

Changed the way Encoders are published by EncoderPlugins. Encoder retrieval
in PluginManager is reenabled. We use the media_codec_info.id to reference
a specific plugin, while the sub_id will be used to reference individual
Encoders that the plugin supports. No idea if that's how it was intented, but
some comments hint in this direction. I failed to mention this before, but
comments are of course very welcome on any of these commits, as always.

* Added needed structs and message values to DataExchange.

* implemented BControllable::StartControlPanel(). The behaviour is supposed to be the one documented in the BeBook, meaning that it first checks if the BControllable node has been instantiated over an BMediaAddOn. If so, we investigate where the addon is located and try to launch it. Thus media_addons which have a control panel need to be compiled as an Application, not as an Addon. See r24664 as an example.
* inside BControllable::HandleMessage() call StartControlPanel for the message.
* MediaNodes having such a ControlPanel are rarely used as parameterwebs should provide you everything. But for instance the vst MediaAddOn uses it and some others do as well.

Fixes that make Haiku build with gcc 4. Mainly out of the following
categories:
* Missing includes (like <stdlib.h> and <string.h>).
* Linking against $(TARGET_LIBSTDC++) instead of libstdc++.r4.so.
* Local variables shadowing parameters.
* Default parameters in function definitions (as opposed to function
declarations).
* All C++ stuff (nothrow, map, set, vector, min, max,...) must be imported
explicitly from the std:: namespace now.
* "new (sometype)[...]" must read "new sometype[...]", even if sometype is
something like "const char *".
* __FUNCTION__ is no longer a string literal (but a string expression), i.e.
'printf(__FUNCTION__ ": ...\n")' is invalid code.
* A type cast results in a non-lvalue. E.g. "(char *)buffer += bytes"
is an invalid expression.
* "friend class SomeClass" only works when SomeClass is known before.
Otherwise the an inner class with that name is considered as friend.
gcc 4 is much pickier about scopes.
* gcc 4 is generally stricter with respect to type conversions in C.
