This is the beginning of work to support compressed formats natively in
PulseAudio. This adds a pa_stream_new_extended() that takes a format
structure, sends it to the server (=> protocol extension) and has the
server negotiate with the appropropriate sink to figure out what format
it should use.
This is work in progress, and works only with PCM streams. Actual
compressed format support in some sink needs to be implemented, and
extensive testing is required.
More details on how this is supposed to work is available at:

We need to use pa_memblockq_pop_missing() for all request handling,
including the initial request, because otherwise the counters will be
stay off during the entire runtime.
This should fix:

The pa_xmalloc calls oom() in case of NULL pointer returned by malloc() on one
hand and dereferencing of pointer is happen early than actual check on other
hand. Thus, just remove useless checks.
Instead of using string contents for type identification use the address
of a constant string array. This should speed up type verifications a
little sind we only need to compare one machine word instead of a full
string. Also, this saves a few strings.
To make clear that types must be compared via address and not string
contents 'type_name' is now called 'type_id'.
This also simplifies the macros for declaring and defining public and
private subclasses.
pa_memblock is now an opaque structure. Access to its fields is now done
through various accessor functions in a thread-safe manner.
pa_memblock_acquire() and pa_memblock_release() are now used to access the
attached audio data. Why? To allow safe manipulation of the memory pointer
maintained by the memory block. Internally _acquire() and _release() maintain a
reference counter. Please do not confuse this reference counter whith the one
maintained by pa_memblock_ref()/_unref()!
As a side effect this patch removes all direct usages of AO_t and replaces it
with pa_atomic_xxx based code.
This stuff needs some serious testing love. Especially if threads are actively
used.

is to allocate all audio memory blocks from a per-process memory pool which is
available as read-only SHM segment to other local processes. Then, instead of
writing the actual audio data to the socket just write references to this
shared memory pool.
To work optimally all memory blocks should now be of type PA_MEMBLOCK_POOL or
PA_MEMBLOCK_POOL_EXTERNAL. The function pa_memblock_new() now generates memory
blocks of this type by default.
