#ifdef CONFIG_METADATA
// Metadata is not used by shairport-sync.
// Instead we send all metadata to a fifo pipe, so that other apps can listen to
// the pipe and use the metadata.

// We use two 4-character codes to identify each piece of data and we send the
// data itself, if any,
// in base64 form.

// The first 4-character code, called the "type", is either:
//    'core' for all the regular metadadata coming from iTunes, etc., or
//    'ssnc' (for 'shairport-sync') for all metadata coming from Shairport Sync
//    itself, such as
//    start/end delimiters, etc.

// For 'core' metadata, the second 4-character code is the 4-character metadata
// code coming from
// iTunes etc.
// For 'ssnc' metadata, the second 4-character code is used to distinguish the
// messages.

// Cover art is not tagged in the same way as other metadata, it seems, so is
// sent as an 'ssnc' type
// metadata message with the code 'PICT'
// Here are the 'ssnc' codes defined so far:
//    'PICT' -- the payload is a picture, either a JPEG or a PNG. Check the
//    first few bytes to see
//    which.
//    'abeg' -- active mode entered. No arguments
//    'aend' -- active mode exited. No arguments
//    'pbeg' -- play stream begin. No arguments
//    'pend' -- play stream end. No arguments
//    'pfls' -- play stream flush. The argument is an unsigned 32-bit
//               frame number. It seems that all frames up to but not
//               including this frame are to be flushed.
//
//    'prsm' -- play stream resume. No arguments
//		`pffr` -- the first frame of a play session has been received and has been validly
// timed.
//    'pvol' -- play volume. The volume is sent as a string --
//    "airplay_volume,volume,lowest_volume,highest_volume"
//              volume, lowest_volume and highest_volume are given in dB.
//              The "airplay_volume" is what's sent to the player, and is from
//              0.00 down to -30.00,
//              with -144.00 meaning mute.
//              This is linear on the volume control slider of iTunes or iOS
//              AirPlay.
//    'prgr' -- progress -- this is metadata from AirPlay consisting of RTP
//    timestamps for the start
//    of the current play sequence, the current play point and the end of the
//    play sequence.
//              I guess the timestamps wrap at 2^32.
//    'mdst' -- a sequence of metadata is about to start; will have, as data,
//    the rtptime associated with the metadata, if available
//    'mden' -- a sequence of metadata has ended; will have, as data, the
//    rtptime associated with the metadata, if available
//    'pcst' -- a picture is about to be sent; will have, as data, the rtptime
//    associated with the picture, if available
//    'pcen' -- a picture has been sent; will have, as data, the rtptime
//    associated with the metadata, if available
//    'snam' -- A device -- e.g. "Joe's iPhone" -- has opened a play session.
//    Specifically, it's the "X-Apple-Client-Name" string
//    'snua' -- A "user agent" -- e.g. "iTunes/12..." -- has opened a play
//    session. Specifically, it's the "User-Agent" string
//    The next two two tokens are to facilitate remote control of the source.
//    There is some information at http://nto.github.io/AirPlay.html about
//    remote control of the source.
//
//    'daid' -- this is the source's DACP-ID (if it has one -- it's not
//    guaranteed), useful if you want to remotely control the source. Use this
//    string to identify the source's remote control on the network.
//    'acre' -- this is the source's Active-Remote token, necessary if you want
//    to send commands to the source's remote control (if it has one).
//		`clip` -- the payload is the IP number of the client, i.e. the sender of audio.
//		Can be an IPv4 or an IPv6 number.
//		`svip` -- the payload is the IP number of the server, i.e. the player itself.
//		Can be an IPv4 or an IPv6 number.
//		`dapo` -- the payload is the port number (as text) on the server to which remote
// control commands should be sent. It is 3689 for iTunes but varies for iOS devices.

//		A special sub-protocol is used for sending large data items over UDP
//    If the payload exceeded 4 MB, it is chunked using the following format:
//    "ssnc", "chnk", packet_ix, packet_counts, packet_tag, packet_type, chunked_data.
//    Notice that the number of items is different to the standard

// including a simple base64 encoder to minimise malloc/free activity
