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().
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.
Original commit message from CVS:
* ext/alsa/gstalsamixer.c:
Also consider "speaker" as a name for master volume. If that doesn't
help look for the first non-mono volume control that also has a
playback switch.

* ext/alsa/gstalsamixer.c: (gst_alsa_mixer_get_volume),
(check_if_volumes_are_the_same), (gst_alsa_mixer_set_volume):
Use snd_mixer_selem_set_{playback|capture}_volume_all() if
the volume is the same for all channels. This works around
some problem in alsa that leaves us with inconsistent state
for some reason (#486840).

* ext/alsa/gstalsamixer.c: (gst_alsa_mixer_find_master_mixer):
If there's no mixer track by the name of 'Master' or 'Front',
check if there's one called 'PCM' before trying the generic
fallback logic (fixes#506928, where we pick 'Mic' as master
track for the AD1984 card in a Thinkpad T61/X61 laptop).

Try harder to guess which mixer track is the master mixer

Improve and fix mixer track handling, in particular better handling
of alsa's pvolume/pswitch/cvolume/cswitch capabilities; create separate
track objects for tracks that have both capture and playback volume
(and label them differently as well so they're not mistakenly
assumed to be duplicates); classify mixer tracks that only affect
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
(following the meaning documented in the mixer interface header
file); add support for alsa's exclusive cswitch groups; update/sync
state/flags better if mixer settings are changed by another
application. Fixes#336075.

Add a reference to an application-provided object, because we lose
this same reference if we add it to the bin. If we don't do this,
we can only use this object once and thus crash if we go from
ready to playing, back to ready and back to playing again.
Also add an audioscale element because several cheap soundcards -
like mine - don't support all samplerates.
