[avahi] Resolving multiple IPV6 address

[Kevin Ediger]

Hello,
I'm writing a QT application that uses avahi to resolve IPV4 and IPV6 
addresses. I would like to have avahi return all IPV6 addresses 
registered to a particular host, but I've been unable to resolve more 
than 1. Sometimes I get the link-local and sometimes the globally scoped 
address. I tracked the issue to avahi-core/resolve-service.c in 
record_browser_callback() where it only reports the first address 
resolved. I included a patch that reports all addresses.

In order to resolve all addresses, the client must not free 
AvahiServiceResolver in the callback for the first address as in the 
example program client-browse-services.c in resolve_callback(). If the 
resolver is freed after receiving the first address, no more addresses 
will be sent.

Thanks.
