- drop the 'virtual_' prefix from s->virtual_volume since we don't
distuingish between reference and real volumes for sources
- introduce an accuracy for source volumes: if the hardware can control
the volume "close enough" don't necessarily adjust the rest in
software unless it is beyond a certain threshold. This should save a
little bit of CPU at the expensive of a bit of accuracy in volume
handling.
- other minor cleanups
Completely rework mixer logic. This now allows controlling a full set of
elements from a single sink's volume slider/mute button.
This also introduces sink and source "ports" that can be used to choose
different input or output ports with the UI. (i.e. "mic"/"line-in" or
"speaker"/"headphones".
The mixer paths and device maps are now configered in external
configuration files and can be tweaked as necessary.
The primary reason for this change is to allow time graphs that do not
go through the origin and hence smoothing starting from the origin is
not desired. This change will allow passing time data into the smoother
while paused and then abruptly use that data without smoothing using the
'quick fixup' flag when resuming.
Primary use case is allowing recording time graphs where the data
recorded originates from a time before the stream was created. The
resulting graft will be shifted and should not be smoothened to go
through the origin.

Great. An updated patch is attached. For symmetry, I added this
option to the alsa source module as well.
The Ubuntu folks have customized pulse so much that it is difficult
for me to get this version working on my system. For this patch I
have only made sure that it compiles. But it does pretty much the
same thing as the one for 0.9.14, which is working great for me.
Thanks,
Kyle
In the case when the alsa 'device' is not a physical card, it wont have an index and thus
the reservation name will be NULL and therefore we will not initialise the reservation system.
Fixes#498
