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.

* ext/alsa/gstalsa.c: (gst_alsa_open_iec958_pcm),
(gst_alsa_probe_supported_formats): Probe for IEC958 pcm to
detect
if we can do SPDIF output.
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.h:
* ext/alsa/gstalsasink.c: (set_hwparams), (alsasink_parse_spec),
(gst_alsasink_prepare), (gst_alsasink_close),
(gst_alsasink_write):
* ext/alsa/gstalsasink.h: Initial support for SPDIF.
* gst-libs/gst/audio/gstringbuffer.c:
(gst_ring_buffer_parse_caps):
* gst-libs/gst/audio/gstringbuffer.h: Add non linear buffer
types
to support AC3, EC3 and IEC958 buffers.
Original commit message from CVS:
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.h: (GST_CHECK_ALSA_VERSION):
* ext/alsa/gstalsasink.c: (set_swparams):
* ext/alsa/gstalsasrc.c: (set_swparams), (gst_alsasrc_open):
Don't use snd_pcm_sw_params_set_xfer_align() if we're compiling
against libasound >= 1.0.16, since it's been deprecated in
0.10.16, and alignment is always 1 then, apparently. (#512899)

* ext/alsa/gstalsa.h:
* ext/alsa/gstalsasink.c: (gst_alsasink_get_property):
* ext/alsa/gstalsasrc.c: (gst_alsasrc_get_property):
Improve device-name detection a bit, especially in the case where
the device is not actually open (#405020, #405024). Move common code
into gstalsa.c instead of duplicating it.

* ext/alsa/gstalsa.h:
* ext/alsa/gstalsasink.c: (gst_alsasink_getcaps):
Refactor and improve caps probing code: probe signedness
when we probe the supported formats/widths; set endianness
to the one we actually probed for (ie. cpu endianness).

Original commit message from CVS:
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.c: (gst_alsa_class_init), (gst_alsa_get_caps):
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.h:
Add HW probing for period_count/size and buffer_size MIX/MAX
Adjust default/user defined value if out of bounds
Should fix bug #162024
Original commit message from CVS:
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.c: (gst_alsa_get_caps), (gst_alsa_close_audio):
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.h:
refactor big chunks of the core caps negotiation code to make it
a lot faster, because people claim it's really slow
(actually, just cache the getcaps when the device is opened)

Make the xrun code timestamp and offset the buffers correctly.
moved the clock to the base class, use alsa methods to get time.
Do correct timestamping on outgoing buffers.
Original commit message from CVS:
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.c: (add_channels):
handle min <= max correctly
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.c: (gst_alsa_fixate_to_mimetype),
(gst_alsa_fixate_field_nearest_int), (gst_alsa_fixate):
add fixation functions so we fixate correctly. No preferring of alaw
anymore because it's the first structure.
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.h:
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.c: (gst_alsa_sw_params_dump),
(gst_alsa_hw_params_dump):
add functions to ease debugging in alsalib
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.c: (gst_alsa_probe_hw_params),
(gst_alsa_set_hw_params), (gst_alsa_set_sw_params),
(gst_alsa_start_audio):
only specify hw params if we really setup a format (fixes#134007 -
or at least works around it)
Original commit message from CVS:
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.c: (gst_alsa_probe_hw_params),
(gst_alsa_set_hw_params), (gst_alsa_set_sw_params),
(gst_alsa_start_audio):
- don't call set_periods_integer anymore, it breaks the
configuration randomly
- call snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access directly instead of using masks
- don't fail if the sw_params can't be set, just use the default
params and hope it works. Alsalib has weird issues when you touch
sw_params and does no proper error reporting about what failed.
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.c: (gst_alsa_open_audio),
(gst_alsa_close_audio):
make our alsa debugging go via gst debugging and not conditionally
defined
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.h:
add ALSA_DEBUG_FLUSH macro
* ext/alsa/gstalsaplugin.c: (gst_alsa_error_wrapper),
(plugin_init):
wrap alsa errors to be printed via the gst debugging system and not
spammed to stderr
Original commit message from CVS:
second batch :
remove ',' at end of enums as they could confuse older gcc, foreign compilers (forte) and gtk-doc
(in gst-plugins/ext/ this time)

* ext/alsa/gstalsa.h:
try xrun recovery when wait failed. Make xrun recovery function
return TRUE/FALSE to indicate success. (might fix#134354)
Original commit message from CVS:

* ext/alsa/gstalsa.c: (gst_alsa_open_audio):
Don't send ALSA debugging to stderr.
* ext/alsa/gstalsa.h:
Use GST_WARNING instead of g_warning when ALSA functions fail.
Original commit message from CVS:
next big bunch of stuff:
- proper caps setting in alsasrc
- query / conversion functions
WARNING: Alsa 0.9.2 is heavily borked wrt recording - expect segfaults
Original commit message from CVS:
total code reorganization as a start to get alsasrc working - sink and src are now really different classes, not just on paper - includes a fix that makes the testsuite work that might be an older bug
Original commit message from CVS:
fix clock - seeking, xruns etc should be handled correctly now
includes bugfix to not play the rest of the audio buffer when going PAUSED => READY
Original commit message from CVS:
fix timestamp syncing
timestamps are only guessed so add a (big) threshold before starting to drop/insert
fix some clocking madness
Original commit message from CVS:
ALSA rewrite, part 5:
- sync to timestamps (which breaks a _lot_, because most plugins send out wrong timestamps)
- clocking support (A/V sync is superb as long as you don't sync and don't get wrong timestamps)
- 1/2 of format conversion
- assorted bugfixes
I'd like to get people to check the timestamps the plugins send out.
mpegdemux seems to be pretty broken, mad works (I just patched it...), avidemux works at least sometimes.
Haven't checked more so far.
Original commit message from CVS:
rewrote the caps nego / state change stuff once again, new features:
- bugfixes
- get_caps function to report better caps when device is opened
- better _link function
