Today 12:25 19f21a2b3f: Codecs: mp4: Enable FAAD_STATIC_ALLOC

Allocates several SBR + PS arrays and variables statically Prevents out of memory exceptions for long audiobooks

Note from original commit a602f46d why it was disabled: For now malloc is not fully removed but used by a few arrays needed for AAC-HE SBR+PS only. Reason to keep malloc is to have this amount of memory available for AAC-LC files which might require large m4a tables.

But now with "shrinkable" seek table 2c6dfd06 it's no longer a critical issue for aac-lc files (we just load less seek entries) but might be critical for aac-he files.

Fixes issue described here https://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/13049#comment44587

Tuesday 07:31 6e058fe77f: platform: hiby: Increase CODEC_SIZE to 1 Mb

Unifies codec size with most targets.

Apart from other things increased size improves seek accuracy in long m4b audiobooks.

Tested on Agptek Rocker and XDuoo X3II

Sunday 17:22 53e7176196: dircache: don't unpin invalid buflib handle when building volumes

Buflib pinning was introduced here in 1718cf5.

If the device has to immediately shut down after booting because of a low battery, the directory cache may be disabled by the time core_unpin() is reached.

Its handle will have been reset to 0 in that case, triggering a panic message due to an invalid buflib handle.

Sunday 15:19 34361c82f1: [BugFix] Database Track>Filename returned Directory Attribute

Navigating to track listing by Filename in the database passed the whole directory to the playlist and track info plugin insead of the track filename
