This is a bigger change reworking a number of things:
- We now allow moving of the remap sink betwween backend sinks like any
other stream.
- We forward the fixed latency parameter of the underlying sinks the
same way as the dynamic latency.
This of course makes the name 'fixed' a bit of a misnomer. However the
definitions are now like this:
fixed latency: the latency may change during runtime, but is solely
controlled by the backend, the client has no influence.
dynamic latency: the latency may change during runtime, influenced by
the requests of the clients.
i.e. fixed vs. dynamic is from the perspective of the client.
Previously we might have dropped messages from IO trheads to the main
thread. This tuend out to be problematic since this cause SHM release
messages to be lost. More visibly however this could cause playback
freezing when moving streams between sinks and removing the old sink
right away.
This adds pa_assert_io_context() and pa_assert_ctl_context() in addition
to a few related macros. When called they will fail when the current execution
context is not IO resp. not control context. (aka 'thread' context vs.
'main' context)
We need to make sure that having both input and output weighs more for
selecting the default profile than a channel map that matches the
default channel map has.

This adds module-hal-detect-compat.c which when enabled will be compiled
into a module module-hal-detect which simply loads module-udev-detect.
The purpose of this is to allow easy upgrading without breaking
default.pa. Distributions are recommended to enable this to easy
upgrades from HAL versions of PA to udev versions.
pa_usec_t is unsigned, thus it will always be >= 0
This makes gstreamer pulse mixer work again
This fixes a gstreamer mixer regression, when it can't control the volume,
after few changes.
Since Fedora does not enable OSS output support at all, but still uses
padsp, and in Gentoo we could also make use of padsp without OSS output
support, split the two things in two parameters, although they both check
for sys/soundcard.h once.
