pa_sink_get_state() and pa_source_get_state() just return the state
variable. We can as well access the state variable directly.
There are no behaviour changes, except that module-virtual-source
accessed the main thread's sink state variable from its push() callback.
I fixed the module so that it uses the thread_info.state variable
instead. Also, the compiler started to complain about comparing a sink
state variable to a source state enum value in protocol-esound.c. The
underlying bug was that a source pointer was assigned to a variable
whose type was a sink pointer (somehow using the pa_source_get_state()
macro confused the compiler enough so that it didn't complain before).
I fixed the variable type.
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.
Sources should probably be added to pa_core.sources in pa_source_put(),
but currently they're added in pa_source_new(). A lot of stuff can
happen between the pa_source_new() and pa_source_put() calls, and
it has happened that the default source was updated during this time.
Therefore, pa_core_update_default_source() needs to take it into account
that not every source is necessarily linked.
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.

It doesn't make sense to use a sink or source whose active port is
unavailable, so let's take this into account when choosing the default
sink and source.
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 current LFE crossover filter removes low frequencies from the main
channels and puts them into the LFE channel with the wrong amplitude.
It is not known for sure what is the correct relative amplitude (acoustic
measurements are required with real hardware), and changing that might
introduce a new bug, "it clips the LFE channel".
So just disable the feature by default until a better understanding
emerges how it should work. This, essentially, returns the defaults
to their state as of PulseAudio 6.0.
Some more observations:
- Most of available active analog speakers on the market do the
necessary crossover filtering already, and HDMI receivers can be
configured to do that, too, so a crossover filter in PulseAudio is
harmful in these use cases.
- The "laptop with a builtin subwoofer" use case requires manual
configuration anyway because the default crossover frequency (120 Hz) is
wrong for laptop speakers.
- Finally, Windows 10 with a built-in USB audio driver does not synthesize
the LFE channel given a 5.1 card and a stereo audio stream by default.

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.

Color global mempools with a special mark. This special marking
is needed for handling memfd-backed pools.
To avoid fd leaks, memfd pools are registered with the connection
pstream to create an ID<->memfd mapping on both PA endpoints.
Such memory regions are then always referenced by their IDs and
never by their fds, and so their fds can be safely closed later.
Unfortunately this scheme cannot work with global pools since the
registration ID<->memfd mechanism needs to happen for each newly
connected client, and thus the need for a more special handling.
That is, for the pool's fd to be always open :-(
Almost all mempools are now created on a per-client basis. The
only exception is the pa_core's mempool which is still shared
between all clients of the system.

Soon we're going to have three types of memory pools: POSIX shm_open()
pools, memfd memfd_create() ones, and privately malloc()-ed pools.
Thus introduce annotations for the memory types supported and change
pa_mempool_new() into a factory method based on required memory.

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.

In future commits, server-wide SHMs will be replaced with per-client
ones that will be dynamically created and freed according to clients
connections open and close.
Meanwhile, current PA design does not guarantee that the per-client
mempool blocks are referenced only by client-specific objects.
Thus reference count the pools and let each memblock inside the pool
itself, or just attached to it, increment the pool's refcount upon
allocation. This way, per-client mempools will only be freed when no
further component in the system holds any references to its blocks.

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.

pa_module_unload() takes two pointers: pa_module and pa_core.
The pa_core pointer is also available via the pa_module object,
so the pa_core argument is redundant

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.

Since the hashmap stores a pointer to the key provided at pa_hashmap_put()
time, it make sense to allow the hashmap to be given ownership of the key and
have it free it at pa_hashmap_remove/free time.
To do this cleanly, we now provide the key and value free functions at hashmap
creation time with a pa_hashmap_new_full. With this, we do away with the free
function that was provided at remove/free time for freeing the value.
This consumes less power, has low (no?) perceivable difference, and
allows the default configuration to work out of the box on low-end
systems (such as netbooks).
The previous patch removed module-gconf's dependency on the userdata
pointer of the free callback, and that was the only place where the
userdata pointer of pa_free2_cb_t was used, so now there's no need for
pa_free2_cb_t in pa_hashmap_free(). Using pa_free_cb_t instead allows
removing a significant amount of repetitive code.
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.
pa_core_maybe_vacuum now vacuums if there are either no streams or all devices are suspended.
The mempool_vacuum argument to module-suspend-on-idle is gone and defaults to true now.
As various modules can subscribe to unlink callbacks unloading some modules
may trigger hooks in other modules.
The callbacks associated with these hooks could in turn need to use the core
in some capacity (e.g. perhaps they are module loading modules
(e.g. *-discover, filter-apply or gconf etc. and need to use the core to
unload modules they've loaded).
This change simply ensures that all modules and cached samples are unloaded
before freeing the core.
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.
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.
