avtp: Introduce AAF payloader element This patch introduces the AVTP Audio Format (AAF) payloader element from the AVTP plugin. The element inputs audio raw data and outputs AVTP packets (aka AVTPDUs), implementing a typical protocol payloader element from GStreamer. AAF is one of the available formats to transport audio data in an AVTP system. AAF is specified in IEEE 1722-2016 section 7 and provides two encapsulation mode: PCM and AES3. This patch implements PCM encapsulation mode only. The AAF payloader working mechanism consists of building the AAF header, prepending it to the GstBuffer received on the sink pad, and pushing the buffer downstream. Payloader parameters such as stream ID, maximum transit time, time uncertainty, and timestamping mode are passed via element properties. AAF doesn't support all possible sample format and sampling rate values so the sink pad caps template from the payloader is a subset of audio/x-raw. Additionally, this patch implements only "normal" timestamping mode from AAF. "Sparse" mode should be implemented in future. Upcoming patches will introduce other AVTP payloader elements that will have some common code. For that reason, this patch introduces the GstAvtpBasePayload abstract class that implements common payloader functionalities, and the GstAvtpAafPay class that extends the GstAvtpBasePayload class, implementing AAF-specific functionalities. The AAF payloader element is most likely to be used with the AVTP sink element (to be introduced by a later patch) but it could also be used with UDP sink element to implement AVTP over UDP as described in IEEE 1722-2016 Annex J. This element was inspired by RTP payloader elements.

avtpsink: Implement synchronization mechanism The avtpsink element is expected to transmit AVTPDUs at specific times, according to GstBuffer timestamps. Currently, the transmission time is controlled in software via the rendering synchronization mechanism provided by GstBaseSink class. However, that mechanism may not cope with some AVB use-cases such as Class A streams, where AVTPDUs are expected to be transmitted at every 125 us. Thus, this patch introduces avtpsink own mechanism which leverages the socket transmission scheduling infrastructure introduced in Linux kernel 4.19. When supported by the NIC, the transmission scheduling is offloaded to the hardware, improving transmission time accuracy considerably. To illustrate that, a before-after experiment was carried out. The experimental setup consisted in 2 PCs with Intel i210 card connected back-to-back running an up-to-date Archlinux with kernel 5.3.1. In one host gst-launch-1.0 was used to generate a 2-minute Class A stream while the other host captured the packets. The metric under evaluation is the transmission interval and it is measured by checking the 'time_delta' information from ethernet frames captured at the receiving side. The table below shows the outcome for a 48 kHz, 16-bit sample, stereo audio stream. The unit is nanoseconds. | Mean | Stdev | Min | Max | Range | -------+--------+---------+---------+---------+---------+ Before | 125000 │ 2401 │ 110056 │ 288432 │ 178376 | After | 125000 │ 18 │ 124943 │ 125055 │ 112 | Before this patch, the transmission interval mean is equal to the optimal value (Class A stream -> 125 us interval), and it is kept the same after the patch. The dispersion measurements, however, had improved considerably, meaning the system is now consistently transmitting AVTPDUs at the correct time. Finally, the socket transmission scheduling infrastructure requires the system clock to be synchronized with PTP clock so this patches modifies the AVTP plugin documentation to cover how to achieve that.
