This pulls a2dp-codecs.h from BlueZ which contains the capabilities
structures for SBC and MPEG. We currently have these manually added to
ipc.h, so pulling this header makes our files identical to upstream.
The check is inspired by a driver that returned higher dB limit from
snd_mixer_selem_get_playback_dB_range() than what _ask_playback_vol_dB()
returned at maximum integer volume.
This is pretty cosmetic change; there's no actual functionality added.
Previously the volume_writable information was available through the
pa_sink_input_is_volume_writable() function, but I find it cleaner to have a
real variable.
The sink input introspection variable name was also changed from
read_only_volume to volume_writable for consistency.
This update pulls in commit c495077c [1] to fix a build error.

sbc: better compatibility with ARM thumb/thumb2
ARM assembly optimizations fail to compile in thumb mode, but are fine
for thumb2. Update ifdefs in the code to make use of ARM assembly only
when it is safe and also make sure that no optimizations are missed
when compiling for thumb2.
The problem was reported by Paul Menzel:
https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2011-February/009022.html
This patch is tested with OpenEmbedded using `minimal-uclibc` for `MACHINE = "at91sam9260ek"`.
Note that changes to ipc.h from 8f3ef04b had to be manually reapplied.

Subject: [PATCH] module-jack-sink/source: protect against null return in jack_get_ports
According to jack_get_ports documentation, it seems like returning NULL
is valid, and that it should be freed using jack_free.

On 64-bit systems LONG_MAX is greater than the largest possible value of a
uint32_t variable, which caused the compiler to warn about a comparison that is
always false. On 32-bit systems pa_atou() can return a value that will overflow
when assigned to e->volume_limit, which has type long, so the comparison was
necessary.
This dilemma is resolved by using pa_atol() instead of pa_atou().
We should not call pa_core_ref() anywhere in the code. Doing so
will prevent proper daemon shutdown as the only call (in daemon/main.c)
to pa_core_unref() should always call free_core() and perform a normal
shutdown (i.e. unload all modules gracefully).
It's perfectly normal for BlueZ to disable some endpoint types, so printing a
log message at error level isn't a good idea.
For facilitating an informative message in case some endpoint type is disabled,
the send_and_add_to_pending() function interface is also changed to be more
generic (the pa_bluetooth_device pointer is replaced with a void pointer).

tunnel: Fix tunnel streams with recent servers
Prompted by bug #750. Thanks to Emil Renner Berthing for the original
patch.
This change makes it possible to configure an arbitrary constant volume for a
volume element in the path configuration, which is applied when the path is
selected. Note: this is only useful when the exact hardware and driver are
known beforehand.
Mostly warnings about unused stuff.
Furthermore, the first hunk is a fix for the change in 177948a6.
Finally, comment in AEC_dtd was translated and the code simplified slightly.

The optimized filter gets enabled when the code is compiled
with -mcpu=/-march options set to target the processors which
support ARMv6 instructions. This code is also disabled when
NEON is used (which is a lot better alternative). For additional
safety ARM EABI is required and thumb mode should not be used.

In the case of scale factors calculation optimizations, the inline
assembly code has instructions which update flags register, but
"cc" was not mentioned in the clobber list. When optimizing code,
gcc theoretically is allowed to do a comparison before the inline
assembly block, and a conditional branch after it which would lead
to a problem if the flags register gets clobbered. While this is
apparently not happening in practice with the current versions of
gcc, the clobber list needs to be corrected.
Regarding the other inline assembly blocks. While most likely it
is actually unnecessary based on quick review, "cc" is also added
there to the clobber list because it should have no impact on
performance in practice. It's kind of cargo cult, but relieves
us from the need to track the potential updates of flags register
in all these places.
By using SBC_ALWAYS_INLINE trick, the implementation of 'sbc_calculate_bits'
function is split into two branches, each having 'subband' variable value
known at compile time. It helps the compiler to generate more optimal code
by saving at least one extra register, and also provides more obvious
opportunities for loops unrolling.

Previous variant was basically derived from C and MMX implementations.
Now new variant makes use of 'vmax' instruction, which is available in
NEON and can do this job faster. The same method for calculating scale
factors is also used in 'sbc_calc_scalefactors_j_neon'.

The code for scale factors calculation with joint stereo support has
been moved to a separate function. It can get platform-specific
SIMD optimizations later for best possible performance.
But even this change in C code improves performance because of the
use of __builtin_clz() instead of loops similar to what was done
to sbc_calc_scalefactors earlier. Also technically it does loop
unrolling by processing two channels at once, which might be either
good or bad for performance (if the registers pressure is increased
and more data is spilled to memory). But the benchmark from 32-bit
x86 system (pentium-m) shows that it got clearly faster:

This prevents overflows and audible artefacts for the audio files which
originally had loudness maximized. Music from audio CD disks is an
example of such files, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war
Buffer position in X array was not always 16-bytes aligned.
Strict 16-byte alignment is strictly required for powerpc altivec
simd optimizations because altivec does not have support for
unaligned vector loads at all.
