when we are shutting down, we might still receive state updates from pulseaudio
but since we are unparented we should not do anything with the NULL parent
anymore.
Use the acquired field of the ringbuffer in get_time to know when we are in an
invalid state. We don't clear the rate flag when releasing the ringbuffer so
this values is not usable.
Avoids some error messages being posted because the pulseaudio connection is
down.
Generally decisions on the volume of the stream should be done inside of
PA, not inside of Gst. Only PA knows how volumes translate between
devices and s on.
This patch makes sure that all volumes set via the volume property are
only applied *once* to the underlying stream. After applying them the
client side will not store them anymore. This should make sure that
really only user-triggered volume changes are forwarded to server, but
the client never tries to save/restore the volume internally.
Fixes bug #595231.
If we let the daemon decide freely by passing -1, we end up always getting 20ms.
We want to set this value because in some cases we want to select a higher
latency-time in order to save power.
Fixes#597601
Remove the code to deal with a ringbuffer reset as this code is now in the base
class.
Bump the -base requirement as we need the new baseaudiosink code to function
properly.
Otherwise that code will just be expanded to nothing when compiled
-DG_DISABLE_ASSERT (PS: why is mainloop_start() called in the init
function and not when changing state to READY?)
We can't wait for the ENTER/LEAVE messages to be be posted because the base
class sometimes calls the start method with the object lock, which would block
the message posting.
Instead, just assume that the message will be posted soon and continue. We'll
have to fix this in the base class.
Emit stream-status messages for the pulse thread.
Don't use our own GCond for signaling but simply use the pulse mainloop
mechanisms for synchronisation.
See #587695
Upper volume limmit was 1000. That appear unneceasrily high. It would also cause
sever distortion if accidentialy used. Now its 10 (~ +15db) which is also in
sync with volume and playbin2.
Since we map the ringbuffer to the pulseaudio internal ringbuffer, flush the
pulseaudio buffer when we are asked to clear the ringbuffer.
This avoids some leftover audio after a seek.
Hack around thread-safety issues in GObject and our racy _get_type()
functions (we could easily fix the _get_type() functions, but we still
need to hack around the GObject class races until we require a newer
GLib version, I think).
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.
