First we ignore request to fill the ringbuffer which are less then a segment.
The small request where causing stutter.
Then we disable flushing the stream when running against pa 0.9.12 as this
triggers an assertiong in the sound server and terminates it. It does not happen
with 0.9.10 and 0.9.14.
We can use prebuf = 0 to instruct pulse to not pause the stream on underflows.
This way we can remove the underflow callback. We however have to manually
uncork the stream now when we have no available space in the buffer or when we
are writing too far away from the current read_index.
when we switch streams, the clock will reset to 0. Make sure that the provided
clock doesn't get stuck when this happens by keeping an initial offset. We also
need to make sure that we subtract this offset in samples when writing to the
ringbuffer.
If the caps changes, the sink is reset without transitioning through
a PAUSED->PLAYING state change, resulting in a corked stream. This avoids
the problem by checking that the stream is uncorked when writing samples
to it.
When trying to write out a segment, wait until there is enough free space
for the entire segment. This helps to reduce ripple in the clock reporting,
where the app might query the playback position while only half a segment
has been written (and is therefore reported by _delay(), even though
the ring buffer has not yet been advanced)
In the event handler, gst_flac_dec_sink_event(), two functions are called on
the FLAC stream without checking if it has been initialized:
FLAC__stream_decoder_flush()
FLAC__stream_decoder_process_until_end_of_stream()
Both these FLAC__*() functions modify the internal state of the FLAC stream.
Later, when the buffers start flowing, gst_flac_dec_chain() tries to initialize
the stream. the FLAC__stream_decoder_init_stream() call will fail because the
previous calls to FLAC__*() changed the stream state so it is no longer in the
initialized state.
The flacdec API calls the write callback when performing a seek. We cannot yet
push out a buffer at that time so we must keep it and push it out later.
Flush out the upstream part of the pipeline when doing a seek.
Fixes#574275.
g_atomic_int_(get|set) only work on ints and the flags are
an enum (which on most architectures is stored as an int).
Also the way the flags were accessed atomically would still
leave a possible race condition and we don't do it in any
other mixer track implementation, let alone at any other
place where an integer could be changed from different
threads. Removing the g_atomic_int_(get|set) will only
introduce a new race condition on architectures where
integers could be half-written while reading them
which shouldn't be the case for any modern architecture
and if we really care about this we need to use
g_atomic_int_(get|set) at many other places too.
Apart from that g_atomic_int_(set|get) will result in
aliasing warnings if their argument is explicitely
casted to an int *. Fixes bug #571153.
rather than PA thread.
pa_threaded_mainloop_lock() (a.o.) and by extension get_property should
not be done from a PA thread, but the latter may occur as a result of a
property change notification. Fixes#571204 (though current situation
not ideal, e.g. post message rather than signal).
