An ALSA sink may select a different rate (as we use the _set_rate_near
API, which is not guaranteed to set the exact target rate).
The rest of the code seems to already handle this well, as output
from a 88200 Hz file seems to have the correct pitch when selecting
a 96 kHz rate.
Add private replacements for deprecated functions such as
g_mutex_new(), g_mutex_free(), g_cond_new() etc., mostly
to avoid the deprecation warnings. We'll change these
over to the new API once we depend on glib >= 2.32.
Replace g_thread_create() with g_thread_try_new().
Remove the _ in front of the endianness prefix.
Remove the _3 postfix for the 24 bits formats.
Add a _32 postfix after the formats that occupy extra space beyond their
natural size.
The result is that the GST_AUDIO_NE() macro can simply append the endianness
after all formats and that we only specify a different sample width when it is
different from the natural size of the sample. This makes things more consistent
and follows the pulseaudio conventions instead of the alsa ones.
Rework the audio caps similar to the video caps. Remove
width/depth/endianness/signed fields and replace with a simple string
format and media type audio/x-raw.
Create a GstAudioInfo and some helper methods to parse caps.
Remove duplicate code from the ringbuffer and replace with audio info.
Use AudioInfo in the base audio filter class.
Port elements to new API.
Alsa seems to expect that we initialize it. Remove the variable and pass NULL
as we actually don't use it. In alsasink also #ifdef one section that is
grabing diagnostics to be disabled, when logging is disabled (the code was
using the out parameter as well).
Fixes#626125
Errors could happen here when the device was removed already
or when something is broken anyway. If errors happen here and
they're propagated, the element can't shutdown cleanly.
Fixes bug #614545.
There's not much point in using GST_DEBUG_FUNCPTR with GObject
virtual functions such as get_property, set_propery, finalize and
dispose, since they'll never be used by anyone anyway. Saves a
few bytes and possibly a sixteenth of a polar bear.
This is due to race conditions between functions that
modified the mixer like set_volume and
snd_mixer_handle_events since the handle_events
can now be called at any time.
Fixed by adding locking around any snd_mixer call
since even read functions can modify the mixer stucture, since
alsa likes to clear it's values before reading new ones.
The favorite race condition seemed to be that set_volume
called read_elem (in alsalib) that reset the volumes to
0 and then read them with read_x_volume. This read looped
on each channel and as the race condition occured the
channels value could be anything , most of the time
it was 0. Thus no value was read or only the value of
one channel was and the volume was reset to 0.
Fixes bug #478512.

the audible volume of something (rather than the capture volume)
as playback tracks. Redefine/fix meaning of RECORD and MUTE flags
for capture tracks to correspond to alsa-pswitch alsa-cswitch
