5c4f4ac1bd Add support for Meson as alternative/parallel build system
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson

With contributions from:

Tim-Philipp Müller <tim@centricular.com>
Jussi Pakkanen <jpakkane@gmail.com> (original port)

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:

http://blog.nirbheek.in/2016/07/building-and-developing-gstreamer-using.html

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.

The ALSA params structures aren't kept. The pointers
aren't used anywhere, so remove them from the struct.

6e7fa6659f alsa: properly convert position-less channels from ALSA
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.

4fe12c1b09 alsa: Use 8 bit pointer type for byte-based pointer arithmetic
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.

3b2d583373 alsasink: fix occasional crash intersecting invalid values
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.

76d807893c alsa: Add channel map API support
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.

67a7b5a993 alsasink: don't use 100% CPU
The root cause is that alsa-lib is not thread safe for the same handle.
There are two threads in the gstreamer accessing alsa-lib not serilized.
The race condition happens when one thread holds the old framebuffer app_ptr
position in the kernel, another thread advances the framebuffer app_ptr.
when the former thread is scheduled to run again, it overwrites the app_ptr
to old value by copying from kernel.Thus,the app_ptr in the upper
alsa-lib(pcm_rate) become one period size more advanced than the lower
alsa-lib(pcm_hw & kernel).

gstreamer uses noblock and poll method to communicate with the alsa-lib.
The app_ptr unsync situation as described above makes the poll return immediately because
it concludes there is enough space for the ring-buffer via the low-level alsa-lib.
The write function returns immediately because it concludes there is not enough
space for the ring-buffer from the upper-level alsa-lib. Then the loop of poll
and write runs again and again until another period size is available for
ring-buffer.This leads to the cpu 100 problem.

delay_lock  is used to avoid the race condition.

1e329bb4f4 alsa: fix supported format detection
The format probing code was assuming there'd be one caps
structure for each separate width/depth combination like
we did in 0.10 all over the place: for one, we'd query
unsigned/signed formats together for the same width/height,
and we'd add the entire current structure to the probed
caps when we find a format is supported. Now that we have
all raw formats in a single structure, this is all not going
to work so well any more. We added the entire structure with
all possible formats to the caps if we support just one format.

Fix probing so that we only return the list of actually
supported raw audio formats (with native endianness) from
get_caps().

a2f8ec4f5a ringbuffer: add support for timestamps
Make it possible for subclasses to provide the timestamp (as an absolute time
against the pipeline clock) of the last read data.
Fix up alsa to provide the timestamp received from alsa. Because the alsa
timestamps are in monotonic time, we can only do this when the monotonic clock
has been selected as the pipeline clock.
