This patch enables support for nl80211. In case the libnl-genl-3.0
library isn't found, it will fall back to Wext instead.
The library to use can also be manually set with the CMake option
WITH_LIBNL.
The Wireless-Extensions (WE or Wext) are deprecated and long replaced
by cfg80211.
Although Wext isn't used by WiFi drivers anymore, CFG80211_WEXT allows
old tools to communicate with modern drivers by providing a wrapper
API.
It's queried the same way ipv4 addresses are queried, but here it displays globally routable addresses. If there are multiple such addresses, it picks one (same as with ipv4). It's possible that an address discovered this way is not in fact globally reachable but still marked as global.
Only updating when an mpd event occurred would cause issues when mpd was
playing and the machine was put to sleep because the elapsed time was
calculated by taking the time difference of the last update and now
which would give you wrong numbers, if the machine was in standby in
between.
Since the update function on the module is only called once a second (or
when an event happens), we can just update the data every time without a
huge performance hit.
Fixes#915
When processing module events, a new instance for each
mixer is created so that the module event loop will receive
the mixer update events.
