Before, failures, particularly in the thread loop init, could lead to a
bad state for the duration of mpvs execution. Make sure that
everything that was initialized gets properly and safely
uninitialized.
Before this commit, there was AF_FORMAT_AC3 (the original spdif format,
used for AC3 and DTS core), and AF_FORMAT_IEC61937 (used for AC3, DTS
and DTS-HD), which was handled as some sort of superset for
AF_FORMAT_AC3. There also was AF_FORMAT_MPEG2, which used
IEC61937-framing, but still was handled as something "separate".
Technically, all of them are pretty similar, but may use different
bitrates. Since digital passthrough pretends to be PCM (just with
special headers that wrap digital packets), this is easily detectable by
the higher samplerate or higher number of channels, so I don't know why
you'd need a separate "class" of sample formats (AF_FORMAT_AC3 vs.
AF_FORMAT_IEC61937) to distinguish them. Actually, this whole thing is
just a mess.
Simplify this by handling all these formats the same way.
AF_FORMAT_IS_IEC61937() now returns 1 for all spdif formats (even MP3).
All AOs just accept all spdif formats now - whether that works or not is
not really clear (seems inconsistent due to earlier attempts to make
DTS-HD work). But on the other hand, enabling spdif requires manual user
interaction, so it doesn't matter much if initialization fails in
slightly less graceful ways if it can't work at all.
At a later point, we will support passthrough with ao_pulse. It seems
the PulseAudio API wants to know the codec type (or maybe not - feeding
it DTS while telling it it's AC3 works), add separate formats for each
codecs. While this reminds of the earlier chaos, it's stricter, and most
code just uses AF_FORMAT_IS_IEC61937().
Also, modify AF_FORMAT_TYPE_MASK (renamed from AF_FORMAT_POINT_MASK) to
include special formats, so that it always describes the fundamental
sample format type. This also ensures valid AF formats are never 0 (this
was probably broken in one of the earlier commits from today).
This code tried to play with the format bits, and potentially could
create invalid formats, or reinterpret obscure formats in unexpected
ways.
Also there was an abort() call if the winapi or mpv used a format with
unexpected bit-width. This could probably easily happen; for example,
mpv supports at least one 64 bit format. And what would happen on 8 bit
formats anyway?
Untested.
Until now, the audio chain could handle both little endian and big
endian formats. This actually doesn't make much sense, since the audio
API and the HW will most likely prefer native formats. Or at the very
least, it should be trivial for audio drivers to do the byte swapping
themselves.
From now on, the audio chain contains native-endian formats only. All
AOs and some filters are adjusted. af_convertsignendian.c is now wrongly
named, but the filter name is adjusted. In some cases, the audio
infrastructure was reused on the demuxer side, but that is relatively
easy to rectify.
This is a quite intrusive and radical change. It's possible that it will
break some things (especially if they're obscure or not Linux), so watch
out for regressions. It's probably still better to do it the bulldozer
way, since slow transition and researching foreign platforms would take
a lot of time and effort.
In my opinion, we shouldn't use atomics at all, but ok.
This switches the mpv code to use C11 stdatomic.h, and for compilers
that don't support stdatomic.h yet, we emulate the subset used by mpv
using the builtins commonly provided by gcc and clang.
This supersedes an earlier similar attempt by Kovensky. That attempt
unfortunately relied on a big copypasted freebsd header (which also
depended on much more highly compiler-specific functionality, defined
reserved symbols, etc.), so it had to be NIH'ed.
Some issues:
- C11 says default initialization of atomics "produces a valid state",
but it's not sure whether the stored value is really 0. But we rely on
this.
- I'm pretty sure our use of the __atomic... builtins is/was incorrect.
We don't use atomic load/store intrinsics, and access stuff directly.
- Our wrapper actually does stricter typechecking than the stdatomic.h
implementation by gcc 4.9. We make the atomic types incompatible with
normal types by wrapping them into structs. (The FreeBSD wrapper does
the same.)
- I couldn't test on MinGW.
Also fix a format string mistake in a log call using it.
I wonder if this code shouldn't use FormatMessage, but it looks kind
of involved [1], so: no, thanks.

The volume controls in mpv now affect the session's volume (the
application's volume in the mixer). Since we do not request a
non-persistent session, the volume and mute status persist across mpv
invocations and system reboots.
In exclusive mode, WASAPI doesn't have access to a mixer so the endpoint
(sound card)'s master volume is modified instead. Since by definition
mpv is the only thing outputting audio in exclusive mode, this causes no
conflict, and ao_wasapi restores the last user-set volume when it's
uninitialized.
Due to the COM Single-Threaded Apartment model, the thread owning the
objects will still do all the actual method calls (in the form of
message dispatches), but at least this will be COM's problem rather than
having to set up several handles and adding extra code to the event
thread.
Since the event thread still needs to own the WASAPI handles to avoid
waiting on another thread to dispatch the messages, the init and uninit
code still has to run in the thread.
This also removes a broken drain implementation and removes unused
headers from each of the files split from the original ao_wasapi.c.
ao_wasapi.c was almost entirely init code mixed with option code and
occasionally actual audio handling code. Split most things to
ao_wasapi_utils.c and keep the audio handling code in ao_wasapi.c.
