The audio library considers them as encoded formats and does not fill in the
sample width. The audio ringbuffers identifies the format as alaw/mulaw and that
is always 8 bits.
This reverts commit 01457027e0.
We'll just depend on PulseAudio 2.0 or above instead of having the bug
partially fixed based on the installed libpulse version.
The getcaps function we added uses some pa_format_info_get_prop...
accessor functions that were only added in 2.0, so we only have our
getcaps implementation exist if we're compiling against libpulse 2.0 or
above.
Eventually, we could bump the minimum requirement to 2.0 or above.

getcaps is called frequently during stream setup, and creating a new
stream each time is very inefficient. There's some more room for
optimisation by caching the queried sink formats as well, but this needs
some more changes to listen for format changes on the sink (for when
supported formats change between probe stream creation and sink
querying).

This allows us to have more fine-tuned caps in READY or above. However,
this is _really_ inefficient since we create a new stream and query sink
for every getcaps in READY, which on a simple gst-launch line happens
about 35 times. The next step is to cache getcaps results.

The HTTP server could give wrong information, e.g. if the HTTP stream is
chunk-encoded or compressed, or if the server does not know the complete size
at the time when the file is requested by the client.

operations and perform on-disk buffering if possible.
Bug 693484
In 1.0 we now always send the icecast request headers by default, which
makes the server send icecasts metadata inserted into the stream if it
supports that. However, there are some use cases where this is not
desirable, like when just saving a radio stream to disk, so add back
the "iradio-mode" property to allow people to disable this.

This makes sure that we update segdone based on the read index received
during latency updates. As the comment notes, we make some compromises
to deal with the fact that segdone is a segment multiple, while the read
index offers finer granularity. The updates are also not very often
(100ms since that is how often automatic timing updates are provided).
All this is required for the baseaudiosink sample alignment code to work
at all.

Apparently there's no reason to use it any longer. Drop libsoup-gnome
dependency while at it, now that we don't need anything from it any
more (it only consists entirely of deprecated API now anyways).

Now that the subset check actually works, this breaks
things with demuxers that don't put a "sof-marker"
in their jpeg caps, and we don't have a good parser
to plug either yet.
