Currently, module-tunnel uses the default fixed latency of 250ms as fixed
latency.
There is no reason for such a large latency. This patch adds a parameter
latency_msec to the module to set the fixed latency at load time of the
module. The parameter can range from 5 to 500 milliseconds. With this
patch, I was able to run a tunnel sink at 7ms latency without problems.

Currently module-tunnel uses only a rough estimate of the current stream
latency and reports wrong latencies in certain situations. This leads to
very inexact and unstable latency reports for the virtual sink.
This patch fixes the issue by introducing latency snapshots like they
are used in module-loopback. Because the latency reports are now correct,
the update interval for latency re-calculations can be reduced to 1s.

In some cases, the I/O connector functionality can be shared
and we cannot determine the proper purpose automatically.
We just know that something was inserted to the jack.
Introduce a group identifier (a simple string - unique
per group) which helps to determine the proper ports
for the application. The user interface may be used
to set the wanted behaviour.

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.
The suspend cause isn't yet used by any of the callbacks. The alsa sink
and source will use it to sync the mixer when the SESSION suspend cause
is removed. Currently the syncing is done in pa_sink/source_suspend(),
and I want to change that, because pa_sink/source_suspend() shouldn't
have any alsa specific code.
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.

Now that we have the necessary infrastructure to memexport and
mempimport a memfd memblock, extend that support higher up in the
chain with pstreams.
A PA endpoint can now _transparently_ send a memfd memblock to the
other end by simply calling pa_pstream_send_memblock() – provided
the block's memfd pool was earlier registered with the pstream.
If the pipe does not support memfd transfers, we fall back to
sending the block's full data instead of just its reference.
** Further details:
A single pstream connection usually transfers blocks from multiple
pools including the server's srbchannel mempool, the client's
audio data mempool, and the server's global core mempool.
If these mempools are memfd-backed, we now require registering
them with the pstream before sending any blocks they cover. This
is done to minimize fd passing overhead and avoid fd leaks.
Moreover, to support all these pools without hard-coding their
number or nature in the Pulse communication protocol itself, a new
REGISTER_MEMFD_SHMID command is introduced. That command can be
sent _anytime_ during the pstream's lifetime and is used for
creating on demand SHM ID to memfd mappings.

pa_source_state_t can have value PA_SOURCE_INVALID_STATE, not
PA_SINK_INVALID_STATE. It happens to be the same here, but it can break

The file descriptors are read from the iochannel just like the creds are.
So instead of passing just creds (and creds_valid), we now pass the

Make the PulseAudio tunnel behave the same way as a client
when it comes to figuring out how to connect to the current
PulseAudio daemon. This can be useful if you start a second
PulseAudio instance for e.g. network access.
u->sink->state is not yet updated, so the state must be read from
u->sink->thread_info.state. This makes pausing and resuming of the
smoother happen at the right time.

This patch removes all occurrences of double and triple

Two passes were needed to remove triple newlines.
The excluded files are mirrored files from external sources.

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.

module-tunnel doesn't care about the proplist contents, so
pa_tagstruct_get_proplist() is only used for removing the
data from the tagstruct buffer. In that case it's more
convenient to just pass NULL as the proplist argument.
The tunnel source has been broken since protocol v22 (PA 1.0),
and connecting fails with a protocol error. Fix.

The commit 7ebc5033 resulted in segfaults, because format->plist was not allocated.
The solution is not to allocate pa_format_info on the stack, but to properly use pa_format_info_new().
Also a typo regarding pa_tagstruct_putu8 is corrected.
Some sink flags are really just a product of what callbacks
are set on the device. We still enforce a degree of sanity
that the flags match the callbacks set, but we also set the
flags automatically in our callback setter functions to
help ensure that a) people use them and b) flags & callbacks
are kept in sync.
This is not currently useful but future commits will make further
changes concerning automatic setting of flags and event delivery
that makes this structure necessary.
This updates the tunnel module for protocol version >= 19.
module-tunnel-sink does not proxy server-side passthrough support (yet).
This would require a few more changes, namely keeping track of what
formats are available and if any other sink inputs are connected on the
server-side.
