wm4 5e727c314e stream: fix bad cache behavior introduced by recent commit 
Commit 4d14a42, a seemingly harmless change, introduced very bad cache
behavior when the cache isn't forked, such as on Windows, where it uses
threads. Apparently the cache code was designed for forking, and an
unknown obscure condition causes severe performance degradation if a
STREAM_CTRL is sent to the cache on every frame.

Since the cache code is literally insane (uses shared memory + fork(),
and has hacks to make it work with threads, is messed into the stream
code in extra-hacky ways), we just fix it by caching the STREAM_CTRL in
question.

This is also done for some other STREAM_CTRLs that are called on each
frame, such as playback duration. This indicates that the cache code has
some inherent problem with answering such requests in a timely matter,
and that there's no easy way around this.

(Even if the cache is eventually rewritten, these things will probably
have to be cached, otherwise you'd have to forcibly block until the
stream implementation is done with a blocking read. The real question
is why it worked fine with the forked cache, though.)

mpv
###

Overview
========

**mpv** is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide
variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.

If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer you can read
more about the changes_.

Compilation
===========

Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of ``./configure --help`` for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
``./configure``. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file ``config.log`` may contain
information about the reasons for the failure.

Essential dependencies (incomplete list):

- gcc or clang
- X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...)
- Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
- fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
- libjpeg
- libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly
- libx264 if you want to use encoding (has to be explicitly enabled when
  compiling ffmpeg)

Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper (mpv-build_) that first compiles FFmpeg
libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against
those.

If you are running Mac OSX and using homebrew we provide homebrew-mpv_, an up
to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for
OSX.

Bug reports
===========

Please use the `issues tracker`_ provided by GitHub to send us bug reports or
feature requests.

Contributing
============

For small changes you can just send us pull requests through GitHub. For bigger
changes come and talk to us on IRC before you start working on them. It will
make code review easier for both parties later on.
