The recommended way of setting available status is to call
pa_device_port_set_available, which will send a subscription event
to the relevant card. It will also fire a hook.

The new module argument can be used to provide a custom
directory for loading alsa path configuration files. This is
useful for testing: no need to be root to create test
configuration files.
This just covers Lennart's concern over the terminology used.
The majority of this change is simply the following command:
grep -rli sync[-_]volume . | xargs sed -i 's/sync_volume/deferred_volume/g;s/PA_SINK_SYNC_VOLUME/PA_SINK_DEFERRED_VOLUME/g;s/PA_SOURCE_SYNC_VOLUME/PA_SOURCE_DEFERRED_VOLUME/g;s/sync-volume/deferred-volume/g'
Some minor tweaks were added on top to tidy up formatting and
a couple of phrases were clarified too.
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.
This feature is mainly useful in embedded systems that have built-in speakers.
In such situations the full audio path is known beforehand, so it's possible to
know what is the maximum sensible volume, and any higher volume can be
disabled.
The volume limit is set in path configuration files in the [Element] section,
using option "volume-limit". The value is the desired maximum volume step of
the volume element.
Now you can add required-any to elements in a path and the path
will be valid as long as at least one of the elements are present.
Also you can have required, required-any and required-absent in
element options, causing a path to be unsupported if an option is
(not) present (simplified example: to skip line in path if
"Capture source" doesn't have a "Line In" option).

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.
