pa_sink_get_state() is supposed to be used from the main thread. In this
case it doesn't really matter, because the SET_STATE handler is executed
while the main thread is waiting, but since the state is available also
in thread_info, let's use that. All other modules use thread_info.state
too, so at least this change improves consistency.
Also, we can use the PA_SINK_IS_OPENED macro to simplify the code a bit.
This removes the symdef header generation m4 magic in favour of a
simpler macro method, allowing us to skip one unnecessary build step
while moving to meson, and removing an 11 year old todo!
The reported latency of source or sink is based on measured initial conditions.
If the conditions contain an error, the estimated latency values may become negative.
This does not indicate that the latency is indeed negative but can be considered
merely an offset error. The current get_latency_in_thread() calls and the
implementations of the PA_{SINK,SOURCE}_MESSAGE_GET_LATENCY messages truncate negative
latencies because they do not make sense from a physical point of view. In fact,
the values are truncated twice, once in the message handler and a second time in
the pa_{source,sink}_get_latency_within_thread() call itself.
This leads to two problems for the latency controller within module-loopback:
- Truncating leads to discontinuities in the latency reports which then trigger
unwanted end to end latency corrections.
- If a large negative port latency offsets is set, the reported latency is always 0,
making it impossible to control the end to end latency at all.
This patch is a pre-condition for solving these problems.
It adds a new flag to pa_{sink,source}_get_latency_within_thread() to allow
negative return values. Truncating is also removed in all implementations of the
PA_{SINK,SOURCE}_MESSAGE_GET_LATENCY message handlers. The allow_negative flag
is set to false for all calls of pa_{sink,source}_get_latency_within_thread()
except when used within PA_{SINK,SOURCE}_MESSAGE_GET_LATENCY. This means that the
original behavior is not altered in most cases. Only if a positive latency offset
is set and the message returns a negative value, the reported latency is smaller
because the values are not truncated twice.
Additionally let PA_SOURCE_MESSAGE_GET_LATENCY return -pa_sink_get_latency_within_thread()
for monitor sources because the source gets the data before it is played.
Bug 96741 shows a case where an assertion is hit, because
pa_asyncq_new() failed due to running out of file descriptors.
pa_asyncq_new() is used in only one place (not counting the call in
asyncq-test): pa_asyncmsgq_new(). Now pa_asyncmsgq_new() can fail too,
which requires error handling in many places. One of those places is
pa_thread_mq_init(), which can now fail too, and that needs additional
error handling in many more places. Luckily there weren't any places
where adding better error handling wouldn't have been easy, so there are
many changes in this patch, but they are not complicated.

Since some devices can be chatty with regards to how often they return
from poll(), this adds a PA_UNLIKELY() to all the the rewind_requested
checks in our sink modules to make the general case (no rewind was
requested) the fast path.
When a rewind is requested on a sink input, the request parameters are
stored in the pa_sink_input struct. The parameters are reset during
rewind processing, and if the sink decides to ignore the rewind
request due to being suspended, stale parameters are left in
pa_sink_input. It's particularly problematic if the rewrite_bytes
parameter is left at -1, because that will prevent all future rewind
processing on that sink input. So, in order to avoid stale parameters,
every rewind request needs to be processed, even if the sink is
suspended.
