The code is doubly wrong in fact.
I've checked some docs on DAAP and it seems MPER (playlist persistent
id) is 8 bytes, but the code is casting the pointer to a 32bit int and
recasting it as a 64bit int. Am I wrong in assuming that the code is
using the pointers just for convenience ? Can't these IDs be generated
somehow and use an internal lookup table.
Fun fun fun.
