pa_memblock is now an opaque structure. Access to its fields is now done
through various accessor functions in a thread-safe manner.
pa_memblock_acquire() and pa_memblock_release() are now used to access the
attached audio data. Why? To allow safe manipulation of the memory pointer
maintained by the memory block. Internally _acquire() and _release() maintain a
reference counter. Please do not confuse this reference counter whith the one
maintained by pa_memblock_ref()/_unref()!
As a side effect this patch removes all direct usages of AO_t and replaces it
with pa_atomic_xxx based code.
This stuff needs some serious testing love. Especially if threads are actively
used.

is to allocate all audio memory blocks from a per-process memory pool which is
available as read-only SHM segment to other local processes. Then, instead of
writing the actual audio data to the socket just write references to this
shared memory pool.
To work optimally all memory blocks should now be of type PA_MEMBLOCK_POOL or
PA_MEMBLOCK_POOL_EXTERNAL. The function pa_memblock_new() now generates memory
blocks of this type by default.
