Alsasrc introduced delay_lock in commit 519f85a43e73efb8f3fb2c7be45226e
because alsa-lib is not thread safe for the same handle.
Alsasrc uses the same threading pattern, it should be locked too.

Make buffer timestamps more accurate and, more importantly, actually
representative of the MIDI events timing.
Previously, buffers were only sent with timetamps aligned at a 10ms
boundary which was just wrong, now the buffer timestamp represents the
real time of the MIDI event.
Conveniently, the ALSA sequencer API supports scheduling events in the
future so the sequencer infrastructure can be used to have the tick
delivered at the right time, avoiding any custom scheduling mechanism.
The ticks scheduling starts on the first transition to PLAYING, and the
delay is also calculated when the pipeline goes into PLAYING.

When setting the "ports" property the value is duplicated but it's not
freed when the elements stops.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
The only way for ALSA to expose a position-less multi channels is to
return an array full of SND_CHMAP_MONO. Converting this to a
GST_AUDIO_CHANNEL_POSITION_MONO array would be invalid as
GST_AUDIO_CHANNEL_POSITION_MONO is meant to be used only with one
channel.
Fix this by using GST_AUDIO_CHANNEL_POSITION_NONE which is meant to be
used for position-less channels.

Usually these loops only run once, so there's no problem here. But sometimes
they run twice, and by adding the number of bytes to a 16 bit pointer type we
would advance twice as much as we should.
Also use snd_pcm_frames_to_bytes() in alsasrc to calculate
the number of bytes to skip, same as we do in alsasink.
Thanks to Lucio A. Hernandez <lucio.a.hernandez@gmail.com> for reporting.
The alsamidisrc element allows to get input event from ALSA MIDI
sequencer devices, and possibly convert them to sound using some
downstream element like fluiddec.
Fixes#738687
When a pipeline using alsasink and push mode upstream fails
to preroll, the following state will be the case:
- A loop upstream will be PAUSED, pushing a first buffer
- alsasink will be READY, pending PAUSED, because async
On error, the pipeline will switch to NULL. alsasink is in
READY, so goes to NULL immediately. It zeroes its cached
caps. Meanwhile, the upstream loop can cause a caps query,
conccurent with the state change. This will use those cached
caps. If the zeroing happens between the NULL test and the
dereferencing, GStreamer will critical down in the GstValue
code.
Since it appears that such a gap between states (PAUSED
and pushing upstream, and NULL downstream) is expected, we
need to protect the read/write access to the cached caps.
This fixes the critical.

They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
The initial support for the new ALSA chmap API.
Just translate the current chmap to GstAudioChannelPosition during the
setup. No function to specify the channel map manually yet, so still
impossible to assign any non-standard positions or to configure in a
different order even if the hardware allows.
