Adrien Destugues ca68cae76f PluginManager: remove unneeded buffering. The plugin manager was attempting to buffer the IOs. However, the ffmpeg plugin already handles this (it reads in 64K chunks, the same size as the buffer here, so this buffering was effectively useless), and the media extractor already runs the decoding in a separate thread thanks to the chunk cache. So, we do not need an extra level of buffering here. We should leave any extra buffering to the upper layers (BMediaTrack or Media Extractor), if it's needed, as they would have much more control on the creation of the data io object.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
Clean, clear, concise code.
Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.
