Some HD-audio codecs (at least ALC269VB and ALC283) become quite noisy on
high Mic Boost levels. So e g, if there is a "Mic Boost" and a "Capture"
control, both ranging from 0 dB to +30 dB, you get better quality if
"Mic Boost" is 0 dB and "Capture" is +30 dB, than the other way around.
By changing the order in the configuration files, this patch makes us prefer
leaving "Mic Boost" low and "Capture" high if the user selects a medium gain.
(This is based on limited experience, and there is no guarantee that there are
no sound cards that work the other way around, and therefore this patch could
potentially regress quality on those machines. Hopefully those are fewer, so
this is what we should default to.)

Usually, you want to use one input or output at a time: e g,
you expect your speaker to mute when you plug in headphones.
Therefore, the headphones+speaker port should have lower priority
and both headphones and speaker.
A practical formula to do this is 1/x = 1/xa + 1/xb + .. + 1/xn.

The log message didn't match the code, so one of them was wrong. It's
entirely possible that the code is wrong, but I didn't have the
motivation to study the code enough to understand what the code is
supposed to do.
All pa_cvolume_snprint(), pa_volume_snprint(),
pa_sw_cvolume_snprint_dB() and pa_sw_volume_snprint_dB() calls have
been replaced with pa_cvolume_snprint_verbose() and
pa_volume_snprint_verbose() calls, making the log output more
informative and the code sometimes simpler.
This patch removes all occurrences of double and triple

If there is a "Line Out" jack present, then add this path. The fallback
analog-output will be a subset of this path and removed.
I only use the "Line Out Jack" or "Line Out Front Jack" for actual jack
detection - without anything connected to the front jack, it makes little
sense to enable the port.
(Another option could perhaps be to use different paths for stereo line out
and surround line outs, but that could be a possible future improvement.)
Assume that the headphone port volume is lower than the speaker volume.
When plugging in headphones, if the path is active, while the jack is
being inserted and before it is actually detected as being plugged in,
it will still receive the signal being played (which is at a higher
volume than it will be when plugged in completely). The volume
difference manifests as a volume spike when the headphones are plugged
in, before the final volume is set.
This patch is required to prevent such a volume spike when plugging in
headphones. The problem is not fixed completely, but the spike is
shortened. To be fixed completely, we need to apply the port volume
before unmuting the new path.
Port creation is now slightly different. It is now similar to how
other objects are created (e.g. sinks/sources/cards).
This should become more useful in the future when we move more stuff to
the ports.
Functionally nothing has changed.
This means that the path names will always correspond to the
path configuration file names, so they will automatically be
unique (in the scope of one card).
Previously the path description was looked up based on the
path name only. Since there can be multiple paths that use
the same description, it had to be possible to have multiple
paths with the same name.
Having the same name with multiple paths makes identifying
the paths more complex than necessary, so the plan is to
make it impossible to have paths with the same name. This
patch prepares for that by retaining the possibility to
still have the same description with multiple paths. Instead
of the path name, the path description is looked up by using
the "path description key" if it is set (path name is still
used as a fallback lookup key).
A stationary computer usually has headphone jack(s) and line out jacks.
In some cases analog-output.conf will be a subset of
analog-output-headphones.conf, causing line outs to be unusable (because
headphones are unplugged).
This late in the cycle, this was the safest way I could think of to try
to fix this for a particular computer. In later versions of PulseAudio
we could consider making a dedicated line out path instead, and have
proper jack detection there.

As far as I can see, having a mono path in a stereo mapping doesn't
make any sense. It also causes breakage: if the Master Mono mixer
element has two volume channels, the analog-output path gets removed
due to being a subset of analog-output-mono, and that in turn causes
the Master element getting muted. Users generally don't like that.

When a "Headphone Mic" jack becomes available, we do not know if
a headphone or a mic has been plugged in. Therefore, setting both
paths to "unknown" is, in theory, the correct thing to do.
However, in practice, people are more likely to plug in a headphone
rather than a mic. Therefore, allow autoswitch to the headphone port
when the jack is plugged in.
A more advanced implementation would consider what was plugged in last
time depending on what port was selected on the input side at that
time, and set availability accordingly. However, such an implementation
will have to wait (probably at least until we have our fancy routing
system implementation).

The mixer paths are not available in ${builddir} - we need to look in
${srcdir}. This should fix running an in-tree build without make install
as well as alsa-mixer-path-test in make distcheck.
Since the most straightforward way to define PA_SRCDIR was in
Makefile.am, I'm moving PA_BUILDDIR there as well for consistency.
On some machines which has a headset jack, the headset mic does not have its own
jack detection. Then we can look at the headphone jack to get some indication:
We know that if the headphone is unplugged, so is the headset mic. The opposite
is not guaranteed since the user might have plugged in a headphone, not a headset.
Also, there exist multi-function jacks which support both Headphone, Mic in headphone jack
and Headset Mic. In this case the jack name will be "Headphone Mic", not "Headphone", so
we need to include this name too.

Due to a misconfiguration on my side my hdmi card didn't load with
snd-hda-codec-hdmi but through the fallback mechanism. Pulseaudio
would crash during early because hctl_handle was null, so skip
init_eld_ctls when hctl_handle is null to prevent a crash.

Previously, a drain request was acknowledged up to two hw buffers
too late, causing unnecessary delays.
This implements a new chain of events called process_underrun
which triggers exactly when the sink input has finished playing,
so the drain can be acknowledged quicker.
It could later be improved to give better underrun reporting to
clients too.

Generalize the availability flag in order to be used beyond the scope of
ports.
However, pa_port_availability_t is left unchanged to avoid modifying the
protocol and the client API. This should be replaced by pa_available_t
after a validation phase of this new generic enum type.
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.
If 'PlaybackChannels' and 'CaptureChannels' are absent in the UCM
file for a device, assume the device is stereo duplex.
