Otherwise decklink seems to hold onto the latest frame and may cause a
flash in the output if the played sequence has a framerate less than the
video output.
Scenario is play for N seconds, pause, flushing seek to some other position,
play again. Each of the play sequences would normally start at 0 with
the decklink time. As a result, the latest frame from the previous sequence
is kept alive waiting for it's timestamp to pass before either dropping
(if a subsequent frame in the new sequence overrides it) or displayed
causing the out of place frame to be displayed.
This is also supported by the debug logs from the decklink video sink
element where a ScheduledFrameCompleted() callback would not occur for
the frame until the above had happened.
It was timing related as to whether the frame was displayed based
on the decklink refresh cycle (which seems to be 16ms here),
when the frame was scheduled by the sink and the difference between
the 'time since vblank' of the two play requests (and thus start times
of scheduled playback).
Use async_depth for latency calcuation instead of
the length of Tasks array which could be NULL since we
don't do the msdk decoder init in set_format().
According to MediaSDK specification,
Width must be a multiple of 16 and Height must be a multiple
of 16 for progressive frame sequence and a multiple of 32 otherwise.
This patch sets a 16 bit alignment for width and 32 bit alignment
for height as default.

In cases where we do hard resest, the current code destroys the frame
which has new resolution bit early and this causes buffer_unmap
warnings. Keep an extra ref to the frame internally to avoid this.
The gst-msdk decoders only support packetized formats for
all codecs except VC1. For VC1, it supports codec_data for advanced
profiles and this codec_data wan't submitting to MSDK's DecodeHeader APIs.
Make sure the subclass deocders correctly configured so that
the codec_data buffers are in place in the internal adapter for
MediaSDK's DecoderHeader usage.
Currently we use the gst_video_decoder_get_oldest_frame()
to get the old pending frame to output. But this is not correct
if pts re-ordering required. This patch uses a custom made
get_old_frame() which accounts the PTS too similar to the
v4l2decoder.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796699
The patch adds a serios of changes to support dynamic resolution
change and efficient utilization of resources.
Major changes:
-- Use MSDK's apis to retrieve the headers instead of only relying
on upsteram notification. For eg: avc decoder requires SEI header
information for dpb count calculation which we don't get from caps.
-- For all codecs other than VP9, we force the reset of decoder
if resoultion changes to fit with gstreamer flow. VP9 enfource
the hard reset only if the new resolution is bigger.
-- delay the src caps setting till msdk api's invokation in
handle_frame to avoid caching multiple configuration values
-- ensure pool negotiation is based on decoder's allocation_caps.
--dynamic resoluttion change use an explicit allocation_query
to reclaim the buffers before closing the decoder (thanks to v4l2dec)
--In case if we don't get upstream notification of res change (for eg,
this can can happen for vp9 frames with ivfheader where ivfparse
is not able to notify the dynamic changes), we handle the the case
based on MFX_ERR_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_PARAM which is the return value
of MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync
-- calculate the minimum surfaces to be preallocated based on
msdk suggestion, downstream requirement, async depth and scratch surface
count for smooth display.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796566
The transform from mediacodec applies to the texture coords, but
GStreamer affine meta applies to the video geometry, which is the
opposite - so invert it to get display correct for decoders
that require transforming
According to msdk spec, there are two ways to enable filters:
1: Filters can be enabled by adding a filter ID
to mfxExtVPPDoUse. In this case, default filter parameters are used
2: Add filter configuration structures directly to mfxVideoParam.
Using 1 with 2 is optional but legal. Unfortunately it won't work
with some specific use cases like Detail/EdgeEnhancement.
Let's stick with option2 which works fine for all VPP operations.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796468
Since we do the MSDK initializing in set_caps(), a FALSE
return may still cause the invokation of set_caps() again
and this will leads to buffer allocation and other mess-up.
So make sure the msdk initialized correctly before trying
to do any buffer allocation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796465
Make sure all the enabled filter structures are added in the

In case the wasapi buffer levels got low in shared mode we would still wait until
more buffer is available until writing something in it, which means we could never
catch up and recover.
Instead only wait for a new buffer in case the existing one is full and always write
what we can. Also don't loop until all data is written since the base class can handle
that for us and under normal circumstances this doesn't happen anyway.
This only works in shared mode, as in exclusive mode we have to exactly
fill the buffer and always have to wait first.
This fixes noisy (buffer underrun) playback with the wasapisink under load.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796354
The calculation for the frame count in the non-aligned case resulted in
a one too low buffer frame count.
This resulted in:
1) exclusive mode not working as the frame count has to match
exactly there.
2) Buffer underruns in shared mode as the current write() code doesn't
handle catching up to low buffer levels (fixed in the next commit)
To fix just use the wasapi API to get the buffer size which will always
be correct.

S_FALSE is a valid return value which does not indicate an error.

The new property "output-order" can be set to either "display" order
which is the default where frames will be outputting in display order,
or "decoded-order" which will be outputting the frames in decoded order.
The "decoded order" output is generally useful for debugging. But there
are few
customers who use it for low-latency streaming. For eg if the customer
already knows that the stream doesn't have b-frames (which means no
algorithm requires for display order calculation), then they can use
"decoded-order"
output to skip some of the DPB logic to avoid the frame accumulation at
start-up.
The root cause of the above issue is a bit of unclarity in h264 spec +
lazy implementation of many H264 encoders; This is well handled in
gstreamer-vaapi using "low-latency" property:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762509https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795783
For packetized input, inform the msdk that the buffer has
a complete frame or complementary field pairs. For decoding,
this means that the decoder can proceed with this buffer without
waiting for the start of the next frame, which effectively reduces
decoding latency.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795783
Currently we use an async depth of 4 as default (based on
recommendations
in msdk apps), which indicates how many asynchronous operations an
application performs
before the application explicitly synchronizes the result. As a result,
we
queue four frames in decoder which might not be good approach for
live streaming.
This patch reset the async-depth to 1 as default so that we do sync for
each frame we decode without queuing. Customer can play with already
exposed "async-depth" property for other use cases
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795783
So far msdk produced dmabuf fds are non-mappable.
If user wants to download the content of underlined surfaces,
dmabufcapsfeature negotiated pipeline will fail. So if the input surface

we do the vpp (no passthrough) and produce the mappable videomemory
buffers.

prpose_allocation:
-- always instantiate a pool for for upstream
-- use async_depth + 1 as min buffer count
decide_allocation:
-- always create a new bufferpool for source pad.
Each of the msdk element has to create it's own mfxsurfacepool
which is an msdk contraint. For eg: Each Msdk component (vpp, dec and
enc)
will invoke the external Frame allocator for video-memory usage
So sharing the pool between gst-msdk elements might not be a good idea.

Using the default value (InterleavedDec == MFX_SCANTYPE_UNKNOWN)
causing issues with non-interleaved sample decode. Ideally the usage

Currently a gst buffer has one mfxFrameSurface when it's allocated and
can't be changed.
This is based on that the life of gst buffer and mfxFrameSurface would
be same.
But it's not true. Sometimes even if a gst buffer of a frame is finished
on downstream,
mfxFramesurface coupled with the gst buffer is still locked, which means
it's still being used in the driver.
So this patch does this.
Every time a gst buffer is acquired from the pool, it confirms if the
surface coupled with the buffer is unlocked.
If not, replace it with new unlocked one.
In this way, user(decoder or encoder) doesn't need to manage gst buffers
including locked surface.
To do that, this patch includes the following:
1. GstMsdkContext
- Manages MSDK surfaces available, used, locked respectively as the
following:
1\ surfaces_avail : surfaces which are free and unused anywhere
2\ surfaces_used : surfaces coupled with a gst buffer and being used
now.
3\ surfaces_locked : surfaces still locked even after the gst buffer
is released.
- Provide an api to get MSDK surface available.
- Provide an api to release MSDK surface.
2. GstMsdkVideoMemory
- Gets a surface available when it's allocated.
- Provide an api to get an available surface with new unlocked one.
- Provide an api to release surface in the msdk video memory.
3. GstMsdkBufferPool
- In acquire_buffer, every time a gst buffer is acquired, get new
available surface from the list.
- In release_buffer, it confirms if the buffer's surface is unlocked or
not.
- If unlocked, it is put to the available list.
- If still locked, it is put to the locked list.
This also fixes bug #793525.

Directsoundsrc/sink have multiple issues, most of which cannot be
fixed at all because the API is deprecated and is implemented as a
compatibility wrapper around WASAPI since Vista.
Users and developers should now use the wasapisrc/sink elements, and
future development efforts should go towards that.
The low-latency property is *always* safe to enable, so applications
that do realtime communication should set it, and the elements will
automatically configure WASAPI to use the lowest possible device
period, and the audioringbuffer in audiobasesink will also be
configured accordingly.
Applications can also use exclusive mode during capture and playback
for the lowest possible latency if they know that the device will not
be used by any other application.
In this mode, the latency-time and buffer-time properties will be
completely ignored.
The AudioClient3 API is only available on Windows 10, and we will
automatically detect when it is available and use it.
However, using it for capturing audio with low latency and without
glitches seems to require setting the realtime priority of the entire
pipeline to "critical", which we cannot do from inside the element.
Hence, we can only enable that by default for wasapisink since
apps should be able to safely set the low-latency property to TRUE if
they need low-latency capture or playback.
This allows us to request ultra-low-latency device periods even in
shared mode. However, this requires good drivers and Windows 10, so
we only enable this when we detect that we are running on Windows 10
at runtime.
You can forcibly disable this feature on Windows 10 by setting
GST_WASAPI_DISABLE_AUDIOCLIENT3=1 in the environment.
Since there is already an "adaptive-B" option, just
use boolean property for B-pyramid enabling.
Fixme: Not sure whether this can be supported in vp8 and vp9.
It could be possible through GPB (b without backward ref) but
can't verify currently. We can move this as common property
once verified with vp8 and vp9 without breaking any backward
compatibility.

This option controls down sampling in look ahead bitrate
control mode. According to spec it is only supported in AVC.

MediaSDK has support for a number of rate control algorithms.
Adding all possible options to the property rate-control.
Fixme1: In case of failure, currently we don't have a proper method
to show which rate-control has been failed. It could be better
to add some extensive validation on EncQuery output in case of error.
Unfortunately, not all ratecontrol methods are supported by every codecs

We have the property "i-frames" to set the IDR interval in a
gop. Unfortunately MSDK HEVC encoder behaves bit differently
for IdrInterval field, IdrInteval == 1 indicate every
I-frame should be an IDR (which is IdrInterval == 0 for other codecs),
IdrInteval == 2 means every other I-frame is an IDR
(which is IdrInterval == 1 for other codecs) etc.
So we generalize the behaviour of property "i-frames" by
incrementing the value by one in each case (only for HEVC).

The gst-msdk decoders prefer packetized streams as input
and in this case we can avoid unnecessary input bitstream copy
to mfxBitstream. This works fine for codecs like h264 where
we only support byte-stream with au alignment. Other format
conversions should be done thorugh parsers. But this won't work
for codecs like vc1 where we don't have an autoplugged parser.
Even the parser is not capable to do format conversions.
Packetizing through base decoders parse() routine will bring a
lot of uncecessary of complexities and codecparser libraray dependency.
So we just use an interal gst_adaper to keep track of bitstream
which is not consumed by msdk durig AsynchronusDecoding.
This adapter will get used only if subclass implementations
set the "is_packetized" to FALSE for msdk base encoder.

1\ If downstream's pool is MSDK bufferpool,
2\ If there's shared GstMsdkContext in the pipeline,
a decoder decides to use video memory.
This policy should be improved to handle more cases.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
In case that pipeline is like ".. ! decoder ! encoder ! ..." with using
video memory,
decoder needs to know the async depth of the following msdk element so
that it could
allocate the correct number of video memory.
Otherwise, decoder's memory is exhausted while processing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
How to share/create GstMsdkcontext is the following:
- Search GstMsdkContext if there's in the pipeline.
- If found, check if it's decoder, encoder or vpp by job type.
- If it's same job type, it creates another instance of
GstMsdkContext
with joined-session.
- Otherwise just use the shared GstMsdkContext.
- If not found, just creates new instance of GstMsdkContext.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
According to the driver's instruction, if there are two or more encoders
or decoders in a process, the session should be joined by
MFXJoinSession.
To achieve this successfully by GstContext, this patch adds job type
specified if it's encoder, decoder or vpp.
If a msdk element gets to know if joining session is needed by the
shared context,
it should create another instance of GstContext with joined session,
which
is not shared.

and will copy it to downstream's bufferpool.
2\ Decide if using video memory or system memory.

2\ Replace arrays of surfaces with msdk bufferpool.
3\ In case of using VPP, there should be another msdk bufferpool
with NV12 info so that it could convert first and encode.

1\ GstMsdkSystemAllocator: This will allocate system memory.
2\ GstMsdkVideoAllocator: This will allocate device memory depending

only on linux. On Windows, we should use system memory until d3d

Same changes as done for wasapisink in cbe2fc40a. Turns out this is
sometimes also needed for capture. Reported by Mathieu_Du.
Also improve logging in that case for easier debugging.
Sometimes the minimum period advertised by a card results in an
unaligned buffer size error during initialization in exclusive mode.
In that case, we can fetch the actual buffer size in frames and
calculate the period from that.
We can't do this pre-emptively because we can't call GetBufferSize
till Initialize has been called at least once.

So far, we have been completely discarding the values of latency-time
and buffer-time and trying to always open the device in the lowest
latency mode possible. However, sometimes this is a bad idea:
1. When we want to save power/CPU and don't want low latency
2. When the lowest latency setting causes glitches
3. Other audio-driver bugs
Now we will try to follow the user-set values of latency-time and
buffer-time in shared mode, and only latency-time in exclusive mode (we
have no control over the hardware buffer size, and there is no use in
setting GstAudioRingBuffer size to something larger).
The elements will still try to open the devices in the lowest latency
mode possible if you set the "low-latency" property to "true".
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793289
This requires using allocated strings, but it's the best option. For
instance, a call could fail because CoInitialize() wasn't called, or
because some other thing in the stack failed.

This is particularly important when running in exclusive mode because
any delays will immediately cause glitching.
The MinGW version in Cerbero is too old, so we can only enable this when
building with MSVC or when people build GStreamer for MSYS2 or other
MinGW-based distributions.
To force-enable this code when building with MinGW, build with
CFLAGS="-DGST_FORCE_WIN_AVRT -lavrt".
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793289
This provides much lower latency compared to opening in shared mode,
but it also means that the device cannot be opened by any other
application. The advantage is that the achievable latency is much
lower.
In shared mode, WASAPI's engine period is 10ms, and so that is the
lowest latency achievable.
In exclusive mode, the limit is the device period itself, which in my
testing with USB DACs, on-board PCI sound-cards, and HDMI cards is
between 2ms and 3.33ms.
We set our audioringbuffer limits to match the device, so the
achievable sink latency is 6-9ms. Further improvements can be made if

This will set the actual-latency-time and actual-buffer-time of the sink
and source.
We completely ignore the latency-time/buffer-time values set
on the element because WASAPI is happiest when it is reading/writing at
the default period. Improving this will likely require the use of the
IAudioClient3 interfaces which are not available in MinGW yet.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792897
Currently only does probing and does not handle messages from
endpoints/devices. In the future we want to do proper monitoring which
is well-supported in WASAPI.

There is no fixed limitation for the number of devices on the
decklink API side according to BlackMagic. Many PC motherboards
are able support 6 decklink cards each with up to 8 inputs so
a limit of 16 might well be too low.

Both the source and the sink elements were broken in a number of ways:
* prepare() was assuming that the format was always S16LE 2ch 44.1KHz.
We now probe the preferred format with GetMixFormat().
* Device initialization was done with the wrong buffer size
(buffer_time is in microseconds, not nanoseconds).
* sink_write() and src_read() were just plain wrong and would never
write or read anything useful.
* Some functions in prepare() were always returning FALSE which meant
trying to use the elements would *always* fail.
* get_caps() and delay() were not implemented at all.
TODO: support for >2 channels
TODO: pro-audio low-latency
TODO: SPDIF and other encoded passthroughs
Three new properties are now implemented: role, mute, and device.
* 'role' designates the stream role of the initialized device, see:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd370842(v=vs.85).aspx
* 'device' is a system-wide GUIDesque string for a specific device.
* 'mute' is a sink property and simply mutes it.
On my Windows 8.1 system, the lowest latency that works is:
wasapisrc buffer-time=20000
wasapisink buffer-time=10000
aka, 20ms and 10ms respectively. These values are close to the lowest
possible with the IAudioClient interface. Further improvements require
porting to IAudioClient2 or IAudioClient3.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/audio/low-latency-audio
Sometimes we might get an audio packet without a corresponding video
frame. In these cases, the stream and hardware reference timestamps
would be missing, because they're called on the video frame. Instead of
potentially breaking stuff downstream that might depend on these, we now
extrapolate them.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792042
When we receive a video or audio buffer, we calculate the next stream
time based on the current stream time + buffer duration. If the next
buffer's stream time is after that, we issue a warning.
This happens because the stream time incoming from Decklink should be
really constant and without gaps. If there is a gap, it means that
something went wrong, e.g. the internal buffer pool is empty (too many
buffers queued up downstream).

The Decklink and GstAudioBaseSink APIs don't fit very well together,
which causes various problems due to inaccuracies in the clock
calculations and the actual ringbuffer and GStreamer's copy getting of
sync.
Problems are audio drop-outs and A/V sync getting wrong after
pausing/seeking.

When we cannot scale, we need to enforce the pixel aspect ratio.
This was partly implemented in the previous patch. Doing this
simplify some of the code.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784599
1. Similar to 880f3d8, don't consider not getting an output buffer as
an error during flushing. I've seen the following sometimes when
encoding:
W GStreamer+amcvideoenc: java.lang.IllegalStateException
W GStreamer+amcvideoenc: at android.media.MediaCodec.getBuffer(Native Method)
W GStreamer+amcvideoenc: at android.media.MediaCodec.getOutputBuffer(MediaCodec.java:2886)
2. For amcvideodec/enc, call _find_nearest_frame (which grabs a fresh
reference on a GstVideoCodecFrame) after we have an output buffer,
so as to not leak the reference, in case getting an output buffer
fails.
Otherwise, if we get an error grabbing the output buffer, we leak
the reference to the frame. This can cause issues with a
v4l2bufferpool feeding the encoder not being able to clean itself
up properly due to buffers still being marked as in-use.

This is to be used with gst_video_overlay_set_render_rectangle()
so the application can calculate a rectangle that fits inside
the display. The property changes are notify in a way that you
can watch either notify::display-width or notify::display-height
and both will be up-to-data when this is called back. Before the
element is started, the size will be 0x0.

Implement videooverlay interface in kmssink, divided into two cases:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784599
If the driver requires more data, just unref the frame at the moment
then retreive/finish the frame after encoding is finished.
This also fixes a memory leak.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790312
Fixes outputted frame sequence when performing a seek
i.e. when seeking backwards, the first frame after the seek was a frame
from the future. This would result in GstVideoDecoder essentially
marking all the timestamps as essentially bogus and the base class would
attempt to compensate. A visible indication of this was 'decreasing timestamp'
warning after a seek.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790478
The "fields" flag is ignored because currently GStreamer doesn't support
having only top or only bottom fields inside a frame. The "drop frame"
flag is ignored because some occurrences have been spotted where it
wasn't set while it should have been. In practice, when we have 29.97 or
59.94 FPS, it's always drop-frame.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790112

If we drop many frames at once, printing one message per video frame and

Now that we are doing lazy allocation, we may endup calling _stop()

DRM_RDWR was not defined until libdrm 2.4.68. However,

kms: Export DMABuf from Dumb buffer when possible
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787593
Signed-off-by: U. Artie Eoff <ullysses.a.eoff@intel.com>
When we guess the strides, we need to also update the GstVideoInfo.size
otherwise the memory size will be set to something smaller then needed.
This was causing crash with the DMABuf exportation, since we would not
mmap() a large enough buffer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787593
The buffer itself is 128 bytes into the allocated memory area, to be
able to store the size and other metadata before it. Freeing the buffer
directly will make malloc moderately unhappy.
If bo allocation failed we destroy the buffer and return GST_FLOW_ERROR,
but the @buffer pointer was still pointing to the address of the
destroyed buffer. gst_kms_sink_copy_to_dumb_buffer() was then trying to
unref it when bailing out causing a crash.
Leave @buffer untouched if allocation failed to fix the crash.
Also remove the check on *buffer being not NULL as gst_buffer_new()
will abort if it failed.

HRESULT is unsigned long on Windows, but the Decklink headers define
it to 'int' on Linux. Confusingly, the defines that talk about the
possible return values for it use long constants. The easy fix would
be to change the linux/LinuxCOM.h header, but that's copied from the
decklink SDK.
Change the logging to always upcast to unsigned long while printing
HRESULT for consistency across platforms.

The default memory allocator of the decklink library allocates
a fixed pool of buffers, and the number of buffers is unknown.
This makes it impossible do useful queuing downstream. The new

In this patch we keep track of the cached kmsmem in a way
that we can clear the cache during the drain process. This
release the framebuffer before waiting for the next vblank,
hence add support for DRM driver (like Intel one) that release
the associated DMABuf reference asynchronously.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782774
kmssink keeps a reference on the last rendered buffer. If this buffer
refers to an upstream buffer, it should be should be released on DRAIN
and ALLOCATION queries so all upstream buffers can be returned to the
pool if needed. As the buffer may be used for scanout, we copy this
buffer into a dumb buffer prior to let it go.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782774
This otherwise breaks DMABuf reclaiming. This is not visible from
userspace, but inside the kernel, the DRM driver will hold a ref to the
DMABuf object. With a V4L2 driver allocating those DMABuf, it then
prevent changing the resolution and re-allocation new buffers.

Milliseconds was wrong and made use of this timeout quite
confusing. The code uses the value as microsenconds so
any meaningful number was off by orders of magnitude.
Set the pts and dts on the frame that we receive from the msdk.
Also fix the inverted logic in setting sync points, previously we
were marking all frames as sync points except IDRs.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782801
When extracting an aux buffer from an MJPG carrier, at
*least* put the original timestamp on it, even if we
fail to apply any other timestamp (which we always do
at the moment, because the timestamp calculating code
was never finished). Apply a DTS using the camera
supplied delay value as well, assuming that there's
no re-ordering going on (there isn't in the C920,
which is really the only extant camera doing this
stuff) and a warning if that turns out not to be true.
This is basically a frame counter provided by the driver and it's
advancing at the speed of the HDMI/SDI input. Having this available on
each buffer allows to know what constant-framerate-based timestamp each
frame is corresponding to and can be used e.g. to write out files
accordingly without having the local pipeline clock timestamps used.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779213
The main advantage is that our sleeps can be interrupted in case of
an src_reset(). Earlier, we would need to wait for a read to complete
before we could do a reset, which could take a long time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781249
The audio packet times can be completely unrelated to the video stream
time, depending on the card. While this looks like a bug in the driver,
just always using the video stream time (which is correct) works as a
workaround for now.
Earlier, the plugin was ignoring those settings and blindly setting
buffer-time to 2 seconds and latency-time to 200ms, which forced all
pipelines to have a minimum latency of 200ms + sink latency.
The values of segsize and segtotal were also not derived correctly.
Now we obey these values, and you can get close to the previous
behaviour by setting buffer-time and latency-time manually. Note that
they are set in microseconds.
As a consequence, when we haven't received enough data from the
device, we now sleep for a time proportional to the data remaining.
However, Directsound is a deprecated API so it maintains its own
software ringbuffer which updates at arbitrary intervals. Hence we
might have to wait a full segsize to get the last 10% of data. To
avoid tight loops, we clamp our sleep floor at 10ms.
In my testing, this keeps the wakeups not-too-high (proportional to
the latency-time set on the source). Further improvements should be
made by fixing the WASAPI audio source plugin instead of this.
Directsound is deprecated and as the comments explain, it is
impossible to get low latency, decent quality, or good performance
from it.

MinGW does not provide comsupp.lib, so there's no implementation of

segsize should be based on latency-time, and must be a multiple of the
frame size. segtotal should be based on buffer-time and segsize.
This prevents errors caused by outputting buffers that are not a
multiple of the frame size, and actually makes the buffer-time and
latency-time properties do what they're supposed to do.
