When autoloaded, it is expected that module-filter-apply (or whatever is
loading us) will take care of applying the filter on the correct
sink/source master. Instead of adding complexity by tracking what is
currently being filtered, we just disallow filtering anything except the
original master sink/source and let module-filter-apply or whatever is
loading us deal with dynamic sink/source changes.
These are not used for anything at this point, but this
makes it easy to add ad-hoc debug prints that show the
memblockq name and to convert between bytes and usecs.
Uses the shared volume infrastructure by default with an option to
fallback on the old pretend-volume-sharing-that-kind-of-works if someone
wants it that way.
Some sink flags are really just a product of what callbacks
are set on the device. We still enforce a degree of sanity
that the flags match the callbacks set, but we also set the
flags automatically in our callback setter functions to
help ensure that a) people use them and b) flags & callbacks
are kept in sync.
This is not currently useful but future commits will make further
changes concerning automatic setting of flags and event delivery
that makes this structure necessary.
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:

(Based on Colin's review) We mark modules as being autoloaded so that
they can handle this as a special case if needed (which is required by
module-echo-cancel for now). This inverts how things were done and makes
using these modules manually less error-prone.
This brings more uniformity to arguments to match module-echo-cancel
(which needs both sink and source masters, hence the disambiguation).
This will allow other modules to load filters in a more uniform way
in the future without kludges to deal with variation in arguments.
This change doesn't add any functionality in itself, but it will be useful in
the future for operating on chains of sinks or sources that are piggy-backing
on each other.
For example, the PA_PROP_DEVICE_MASTER_DEVICE property could
be handled in the core so that each virtual device doesn't have to maintain it
separately. By using the origin_sink and destination_source pointers the core
is able to see at stream creation time that the stream is created by a virtual
device, and then update that device's property list using the name of the
master device that the stream is being connected to. The same thing can be done
also when the stream is being moved from a device to another, in which case the
_MASTER_DEVICE property needs updating.
