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.
The Intel HDMI LPE driver works in a peculiar way when the HDMI cable is
not plugged in: any written audio is immediately discarded and underrun
is reported. That resulted in an infinite loop, because PulseAudio tried
to keep the buffer filled, which was futile since the written audio was
immediately consumed/discarded.
This patch adds special handling for the LPE driver: if the active port
of the sink is unavailable, the sink suspends itself. A new suspend
cause is added: PA_SUSPEND_UNAVAILABLE.

This allows us to restore the default device properly when a
hotpluggable device (e.g. a USB sound card) is set as the default, but
unplugged temporarily. Previously we would forget that the unplugged
device was ever set as the default, because we had to set
configured_default_sink to NULL to avoid having a stale pa_sink pointer,
and also because module-default-device-restore couldn't resolve the name
of a currently-unplugged device to a pa_sink pointer.

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.

The previous patch assumed constant port latency offsets. The offsets can
however be changed by the user, therefore these changes need to be tracked
as well. This patch adds the necessary hooks.
Also the print_msg argument was removed from update_minimum_latency() and
update_latency_boundaries() because the message should always be logged.
This adds an "avoid-resampling" option to daemon.conf that makes the
daemon try to use the stream sample rate if possible (the device needs
to support it, which currently only ALSA does), and there should not be
any other stream connected).
This should enable some of the "audiophile" use-cases where users wish
to play high sample rate audio files without resampling.
We still will do conversion if sample formats don't match, though. This
means that if you want to play 96 kHz/24 bit audio without any
modification the default format will need to be set to be 24-bit as
well. This will force all streams to be upconverted, which, other than
the wasted resources, should be relatively harmless.
I want module-alsa-card to set the availability of unavailable
profiles before the initial card profile gets selected, so that the
selection logic can use correct availability information.
module-alsa-card initializes the jack state after calling
pa_card_new(), however, and the profile selection happens in
pa_card_new(). This patch solves that by moving parts of pa_card_new()
to pa_card_choose_initial_profile() and pa_card_put().
pa_card_choose_initial_profile() applies the profile selection policy,
so module-alsa-card can first call pa_card_new(), then initialize the
jack state, and then call pa_card_choose_initial_profile(). After that
module-alsa-card can still override the profile selection policy, in
case module-alsa-card was loaded with the "profile" argument. Finally,
pa_card_put() finalizes the card creation.
An alternative solution would have been to move the jack
initialization to happen before pa_card_new() and use pa_card_new_data
instead of pa_card in the jack initialization code, but I disliked
that idea (I want to get rid of the "new data" pattern eventually).
The order in which the initial profile policy is applied is reversed
in this patch. Previously the first one to set it won, now the last
one to set it wins. I think this is better, because if you have N
parties that want to set the profile, we avoid checking N times
whether someone else has already set the profile.
This is needed so we don't keep stale jack availability information
while the card is suspended.

I will modify module-switch-on-port-available so that it will keep
track of which input and output port the user prefers on the card,
based on the user's profile and port switches. The preference needs
to be saved on disk, for which I will use module-card-restore.
To facilitate communication between the two modules, this patch adds
preferred_input_port and preferred_output_port fields to pa_card, and
a hook for monitoring the variable changes. It would be nice if the
two modules would communicate directly with each other, but
implementing that would be somewhat complicated, so I chose this time
for adding the functionality to the core. In theory some other routing
module might want to manage the new variables instead of
module-switch-on-port-available, but admittedly that's not very likely
to happen...
Now that all layers in the stack support memfd blocks, add memfd
support for the daemon's global core mempool. Also introduce
"enable-memfd=" daemon argument and configuration option.
For now, memfd support is an opt-in feature to be activated only
when daemon's enable-memfd= is set to yes.

The PA daemon currently uses a single SHM file for all clients
sending and receiving commands over the low-latency srbchannel
mechanism.
To avoid leaks between clients in that case, and to provide the
necessary ground work later for sandboxing and memfds, create the
srbchannel SHM files on a per-client basis.

The daemon `shm-size-bytes' configuration value was read, and then
directly used, for creating the initial server-wide SHM files.
This is fine for now, but soon, such server-wide SHMs will be replaced
with per-client SHM files that will be dynamically created and deleted
according to clients open and close. Thus, appropriately cache this
configuration value.

The relationship between sinks, sources, cards, profiles, and ports
is becoming ever more intertwined, to the point that if you try to
include one file from the other, you're likely to end up with some
weird error somewhere else.
Work around this by creating a new typedefs.h, which does not depend
on anything else, and just creates a few typedefs.
(Can be expanded with more typedefs in the future if the need arises.)

This fixes an issue when requesting module unload for
module-bluetooth-discover. When unloading the module, it also unloads
module-bluez4-discover and/or module-bluez5-discover, and that
invalidated the state variable that was used for iterating through the
modules idxset.
The pa_module.unload_requested flag could now otherwise be removed,
but it's still being (ab)used in the bluetooth modules.
To keep the data and the ringbuffer separate, let's add another
mempool just for the ringbuffer(s). That way, the client can open
the ringbuffer shm file in rw mode and keep the data in ro mode.

This reverts commit a9c3f2fb0f.
It has been recently agreed that ports should somehow have some physical
meaning, leading to the port merge in module-bluetooth-device.
With this assumption in mind, it is very unlikely that a card would
add or remove ports dynamically. Therefore, the core can be simplified
by removing the support for this.
The revert affects the code added to module-card-restore in commit
a1a0ad1af2, which can now be partially
removed.

Some cards are capable to announce if a specific profile is available or
not, effectively predicting whether a profile switch would fail or would
likely succeed. This can for example be useful for a UI that would gray
out any unavailable profile.
In addition, this information can be useful for internal modules
implementing automatic profile-switching policies, such as
module-switch-on-port-available or module-bluetooth-policy.
In particular, this information is essential when a port is associated
to multiple card profiles and therefore the port availability flag does
not provide enough information. The port "bluetooth-output" falls into
this category, for example, since it doesn't distinguish HSP/HFP from
A2DP.
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.

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.
In most cases it is expected that clients cannot consume compressed
data from monitor sources, so we suspend the monitor source when the
sink goes into passthrough mode.
Eventually, when the extended API includes client notifications for
changed formats, we should emit a notification on the monitor so that
clients can decide what they want to do when this happens (disconnect or
consume the data anyway).
This will allow modules to know when a card profile has changed
and take appropriate action. This might prove useful when developing
UCM so that the appropriate verb can be set.
This allows modules to know when certain ports are changed.
This will allow e.g. a filter module (or LADSAP) to only load
when a certain port is used on the device (e.g. to only filter
headphones and not normal speakers).
(Comment from Colin Guthrie: This may also have use in UCM)
This retains CPU information (processor type and supported features) in
pa_core, so that this information can be used by modules at init time to
figure out what optimisations may be used.
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.
- 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.
Move the mainloop to monotonic based time events.
Introduces 4 helper functions:
pa_{context,core}_rttime_{new,restart}(), that fill correctly a
timeval with the rtclock flag set if the mainloop supports it.
Both mainloop-test and mainloop-test-glib works with rt and timeval
based time events. PulseAudio and clients should be fully functional.
This patch has received several iterations, and this one as been
largely untested.
