Add --disable-audio-cache startup parameter

[michaelherger]

Disable caching of downloaded audio files at runtime. Comes in handy when running librespot on a small device with SD card or other small storage.

Thanks! I am using this now, and I hope it will make it upstream.

Using this now as well, +1 for upstream :)

Thanks @michaelherger

Could you move the logic to the Cache::save_file function ?

[mherger]

I put it in the player code as I don't want to disable all (potential) file caching. It's really about caching the audio data. There could be other code using the cache. (FWICT there's none right now, is there?)

[plietar]

Yes save_file is only for audio data, so it is fine to move it there

[michaelherger]

Ok, will update my change.

(argh... at some point I have to have a better strategy to separate my pro from my personal GitHub account...)

[michaelherger]

Hmm... credentials is using the same cache object all over the place. Not initializing cache for files only, but use it for credentials looks like a much more complicated change, dealing with multiple cache instances etc. Am I totally wrong?

[michaelherger]

BTW: is cache/default_cache even used anywhere?

[plietar]

My point was to make use_audio_cache a field of Cache rather than Config, and move the if use_audio_cache test into the save_file method.

default_cache is just some leftover from a previous implementation, I forgot to delete it. You can do it if you want

[michaelherger]

Take 2.

Awesome thanks !
