Pavel Machek reported in his blog that our message about the system mode
has a dead link in it. And this link is also present in translations.
So, I replaced it in the source and fixed all translations using a script:
for a in po/*.po ; do msgcat --no-wrap $a | sed
's@http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WhatIsWrongWithSystemMod
@http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WhatIsWrongWithSystemMode @g' | sed
's@http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WhatIsWrongWithSystemMode@http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/WhatIsWrongWithSystemWide/@g'
| sed 's@/\.@/ .@g' | sed 's@/,@/ ,@g' | msgcat - > $a.new
git add -i # to filter out formatting changes
The "/." and "/," replacements are needed so that various terminal
emulators don't include the trailing "." or "," into the clickable URL.
The resulting patch is attached, just in case, in order to avoid
damaging non-ASCII characters.

PA daemon's log
libsamplerate offers no particular advantage over the speex
resampler and is distributed under GPL; support for it will be removed
in one of the next releases

This --start is patched out in several downstreams to allow users to easily
disable PA by simply disabling autospawn.
If autospawn is enabled, then the first pactl command will start it and if not
it will fail and the script will exit.
When switching to systemd socket activation, we very much do not want to
start PA manually here. We could replace it with a
systemctl --user start pulseaudio
but really it just makes sense to rely on the socket activation as this
should apply equally to non-systemd setups which use PA's own autospawn.
This adds support to module-native-protocol-unix to take over already
listening sockets passed in via socket activation (e.g. from systemd)
Most of the code is isolated to socket-server but some cleanup code also
had to be tweaked to ensure we do not overzealously close open fds.
We currently use the term SYSTEMD when referring to libsystemd-login
and JOURNAL when referring to libsystemd-journal.
I will be shortly adding support for libsystemd-daemon and in
preparation I figured it would be a good idea to clarify the names
used currently before adding another!
Debian/kFreeBSD 9.2 comes with sys/capability.h but it is not usable; work around it
the patch does several things:
* it makes the comment point to the correct bugtracker issue: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72580
* it handles Debian/kFreeBSD the same way as FreeBSD
* it logs a warning that capabilities are actually NOT dropped
daemon/caps.c: In function ‘pa_drop_caps’:
daemon/caps.c:93:2: error: #error "Don't know how to do capabilities on your system. Please send a patch."

pa_context already ignored the return value of pa_client_conf_load(),
so the only places where the return value was not ignored were the
D-Bus server lookup thing and pax11publish. I don't think those cases
are negatively affected if they ignore errors in opening or parsing
client.conf.
pa_client_conf_env() never failed anyway, so returning int was
obviously redundant.
This fixes assertion failures that manifest themselves with cards that
support only weird rates such as 37286Hz. Tested with snd-pcsp.

BugLink: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48109
Quoting Ryan Lortie from [1]:
I assumed from my reading of the Linux code ("cap_clear()...") that it
was clearing all capabilities of the process when in fact it is only
clearing the "special to root" capabilities.
The FreeBSD version of the code indeed clears _all_ capabilities beyond
ones that the process already has (ie: cannot open any new files, create
sockets, etc.)
This has a pretty obvious adverse effect on pulseaudio's ability to do
what it needs to do -- indeed, it bombs out pretty quickly due to an
inability to read its own config file.
[1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72580#c11
I don't like the expression "this Pulseaudio" (even though that's
originally written by me), just "PulseAudio" is enough. Also, on
FreeBSD there's no libcap, so let's refer only to "capabilities".
cap_init() and friends are Linux-specific, so only use them if we're on
Linux.
Add support for FreeBSD capabilities if we find <sys/capability.h> to be
available there.
Add an #else (not Linux or FreeBSD) case with an #error requesting
contributions for other platforms.
This patch keeps the cap_init check in configure.ac but removes the
error if it fails. This will ensure we link to -lcap if needed, but
won't fail for the case that capabilities are part of the core system
(as on FreeBSD).
We do however, modify the header check to ensure we fail if there is no
<sys/capability.h> at all and we are on a system where it could be
installed. The logic here is that it is better to give the user the
chance to install it than it is to proceed silently with a disabled
security feature on a system where it could easily be supported.
--without-caps remains an option if the user wants to force it.

The journal is a component of systemd, that captures Syslog messages,
Kernel log messages, initial RAM disk and early boot messages as well
as messages written to STDOUT/STDERR of all services, indexes them and
makes this available to the user.
It can be used in parallel, or in place of a traditional syslog daemon,
such as rsyslog or syslog-ng.
The journal offers a couple of improvements over traditional logging
facilities (e.g. advanced filtering capabilities).
This patch adds support for logging directly to the journal using its
native API.
I think this makes the code a bit nicer to read and write. This also
reduces the chances of off-by-one errors when checking the bounds of
channel count values.

The code got removed by accident during the cleanup in commit 9c438bcac6. So
this patch is needed to bring it back and make things work like documented.
The author of this module, Tanu Kaskinen, has said that this module
"is not suitable for general use". Also, it is still causing crashes
on card removal (see bug 69871).
Qpaeq, and possibly other tools, use this module - but they can load
the module manually if they still wish to use it.

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 '){' with ') {'.
The ffmpeg source tree was excluded since it will disappear anyways.

find . -type d \( -name ffmpeg \) -prune -o \
-regex '\(.*\.[hc]\|.*\.cc\)' \

We need to pick the right port as early as possible, before the
first volume is picked up. Hence this module needs to be loaded
before the sound card modules are loaded.

It appears that, libltdl will find the .la file in the builddir and
figure out where the real .so is.
This also requires .ifexists to be fixed up to correspondingly search in
<dlsearchpath>/.libs.
There was a recent thread on Linux Audio Users mailinglist about
whether to do so or not, and it looks like most people would prefer
having a stereo default (but even better would have been a
module-jack-card where you can easily set channels/profiles on the fly).

Capability dropping when changing the user in the system
mode was previously implemented by calling
prctl(PR_SET_KEEPCAPS, 0), but that doesn't necessarily
work. It's possible that the KEEPCAPS flag is locked to 1,
in which case the prctl() call fails with EPERM (this
happens at least on Harmattan). This patch implements
explicit capability dropping after changing the user.
It doesn't matter if the function fails (I'm not sure if
it's even possible), because the read data isn't used for
anything and the daemon will terminate in any case. The
void cast should get rid of a Coverity warning.
Removing the whole pa_read() call should be ok too, but I
guess it's nice to clean up the pipe before terminating...
