The only thing that the drained state was being used for was "pacmd
list-sink-inputs". In all other cases the drained and running states
were treated as equivalent. IMHO, this usage doesn't justify the
complexity that the additional state brings.
This patch was inspired by a bug report[1] that pointed out an error in
an if condition in pa_sink_input_set_state_within_thread(). The buggy
code is now removed altogether.

Previously the suspend cause was logged as a hexadecimal number, now
it's logged as a human-friendly string.
Also, the command line interface handled only a subset of causes when
printing them, now all suspend causes are printed.
Currently the default sink policy is simple: either the user has
configured it explicitly, in which case we always use that as the
default, or we pick the sink with the highest priority. The sink
priorities are currently static, so there's no need to worry about
updating the default sink when sink priorities change.
I intend to make things a bit more complex: if the active port of a sink
is unavailable, the sink should not be the default sink, and I also want
to make sink priorities dependent on the active port, so changing the
port should cause re-evaluation of which sink to choose as the default.
Currently the default sink choice is done only when someone calls
pa_namereg_get_default_sink(), and change notifications are only sent
when a sink is created or destroyed. That makes it hard to add new rules
to the default sink selection policy.
This patch moves the default sink selection to
pa_core_update_default_sink(), which is called whenever something
happens that can affect the default sink choice. That function needs to
know the previous choice in order to send change notifications as
appropriate, but previously pa_core.default_sink was only set when the
user had configured it explicitly. Now pa_core.default_sink is always
set (unless there are no sinks at all), so pa_core_update_default_sink()
can use that to get the previous choice. The user configuration is saved
in a new variable, pa_core.configured_default_sink.
pa_namereg_get_default_sink() is now unnecessary, because
pa_core.default_sink can be used directly to get the
currently-considered-best sink. pa_namereg_set_default_sink() is
replaced by pa_core_set_configured_default_sink().
I haven't confirmed it, but I expect that this patch will fix problems
in the D-Bus protocol related to default sink handling. The D-Bus
protocol used to get confused when the current default sink gets
removed. It would incorrectly think that if there's no explicitly
configured default sink, then there's no default sink at all. Even
worse, when the D-Bus thinks that there's no default sink, it concludes
that there are no sinks at all, which made it impossible to configure
the default sink via the D-Bus interface. Now that pa_core.default_sink
is always set, except when there really aren't any sinks, the D-Bus
protocol should behave correctly.

FSF addresses used in PA sources are no longer valid and rpmlint
generates numerous warnings during packaging because of this.
This patch changes all FSF addresses to FSF web page according to
the GPL how-to: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
Done automatically by sed-ing through sources.
All pa_cvolume_snprint(), pa_volume_snprint(),
pa_sw_cvolume_snprint_dB() and pa_sw_volume_snprint_dB() calls have
been replaced with pa_cvolume_snprint_verbose() and
pa_volume_snprint_verbose() calls, making the log output more
informative and the code sometimes simpler.
This patch removes all occurrences of double and triple
newlines.
Command used for this:
find . -type d \( -name ffmpeg \) -prune -o \
-regex '\(.*\.[hc]\|.*\.cc\)' \
-a -not -name 'adrian-aec.*' -a -not \
-name reserve.c -a -not -name 'rtkit.*' \
-exec sed -i -e '/^$/{N;s/^\n$//}' {} \;
Two passes were needed to remove triple newlines.
The excluded files are mirrored files from external sources.
This patch replaces every occurrence of ')\n{' with ') {'.
Command used for this:
find . -type d \( -name ffmpeg \) -prune -o \
-regex '\(.*\.[hc]\|.*\.cc\)' \
-a -not -name core-util.c -a -not \
-name adrian-aec.c -a -not -name g711.c \
-exec sed -i -e '/)$/{N;s/)\n{$/) {/}' {} \;
The excluded files are mirrored files from external sources.
Generalize the availability flag in order to be used beyond the scope of
ports.
However, pa_port_availability_t is left unchanged to avoid modifying the
protocol and the client API. This should be replaced by pa_available_t
after a validation phase of this new generic enum type.
These days we don't set core->default_sink/source as soon as somebody
asks for it. To retain consistent behaviour (i e the asterisk),
we need to call pa_namereg_get_default_sink/source.

In practice there is always at least one profile, and I
don't think there will ever be cards without profiles.
Therefore, I added assertions to pa_card_new() stating that
the card new data must always contain at least one profile.
Now a lot of code can be simplified, because it's guaranteed
that the profiles hashmap and the active_profile field are
always non-NULL.
pacmd was extended so it can handle the new latency offset.
A new function was added so we can set the latency also the list
commands were extended to print the latency offset on the ports.
There are two known cases where read-only or non-existing sink input volume is
relevant: passthrough streams and the planned volume sharing logic.
Passthrough streams don't have volume at all, and the volume sharing logic
requires read-only sink input volume. This commit is primarily working towards
the volume sharing feature, but support for non-existing sink input volume is
also added, because it is so closely related to read-only volume.
Some unrelated refactoring in iface-stream.c creeped into this commit too (new
function: stream_to_string()).
- We now implement a logic where the sink maintains two distinct
volumes: the 'reference' volume which is shown to the users, and the
'real' volume, which is configured to the hardware. The latter is
configured to the max of all streams. Volume changes on sinks are
propagated back to the streams proportional to the reference volume
change. Volume changes on sink inputs are forwarded to the sink by
'pushing' the volume if necessary.
This renames the old 'virtual_volume' to 'real_volume'. The
'reference_volume' is now the one exposed to users.
By this logic the sink volume visible to the user, will always be the
"upper" boundary for everything that is played. Saved/restored stream
volumes are measured relative to this boundary, the factor here is
always < 1.0.
- introduce accuracy for sink volumes, similar to the accuracy we
already have for source volumes.
- other cleanups.
This of course makes the name 'fixed' a bit of a misnomer. However the
definitions are now like this:
fixed latency: the latency may change during runtime, but is solely
controlled by the backend, the client has no influence.
dynamic latency: the latency may change during runtime, influenced by
the requests of the clients.
i.e. fixed vs. dynamic is from the perspective of the client.
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 reference volume is to be used as reference volume for stored stream
volumes. Previously if a new stream was created the relative volume was
taken relatively to the virtual device volume. Due to the flat volume
logic this could then be fed back to the virtual device volume.
Repeating the whole story over and over would result in a device volume
that would go lower, and lower and lower.
This patch introduces a 'reference' volume for each sink which stays
unmodified by stream volume changes even if flat volumes are used. It is
only modified if the sink volumes are modified directly by the user.
