[pulseaudio-discuss] [ANNOUNCE] PulseAudio 0.9.16-test6

[Lennart Poettering]

Yo!

This should be the final test release before the final release of
0.9.16. My todo list of bugs to fix before the release is now empty.

http://0pointer.de/public/pulseaudio-0.9.16-test6.tar.gz

Biggest changes are Wim's MMX/SSE optimization work and numerous
changes to the udev code to fix all races on session switching. Also,
we will now automatically decrease the watermark times in the ALSA
code again after a phase of stability. i.e. previously on a drop out
PA would make sure it woke up earlier for the next buffer fill
iteration to avoid the drop-out from then on. This scheme was
one-way. On each drop-out we woke up earlier and earlier, effectively
increasing the CPU load each time without the chance to revert
this. With these changes we will sleep for longer again after a phase
where we didn't come near to a drop-out.

Finn Thain (4):
      Solaris: bootstrap portability
      Solaris: build fixes (resent)
      Solaris: use smoother (resent)
      Solaris: fixed latency (resent)

Lennart Poettering (27):
      core: check return value of getgrnam_r() instead of errno
      sink-input: add callbacks that are called whenever the mute/volume changes
      ladspa: forward volume changes from ladspa sink to stream and hence via flat volume logic to master sink
      adjust various data/library paths automatically if we are run from a build tree
      combine: quieten gcc a bit
      alsa: leave headphone jack enabled in normal mixer paths
      udev: when a device appears that we cannot access right-away try again later on inotify
      object: speed up type verification by not relying on strcmp()
      gconf: use correct path for gconf-helper tool when running from build tree
      udev: always verify access before loading modules
      udev: don't access string after free()

      i18n: run make update-po
      daemon: don't free script_commands twice
      add usergroup-test to .gitignore
      ladspa/remap: handle failing stream moves properly
      core: relex validity checks when destructing half-set up source outputs/sink inputs
      udev: process all inotify events queued up, not just the first one in the queue
      udev: check busy status of alsa cards before loading alsa modules and hence initiating profile probing
      port a few things over to use xmalloc and friends instead of low-level libc malloc/free directly
      alsa: increase interval between smoother updates exponentially for alsa sources, following the scheme for sinks
      alsa: automatically decrease watermark after a time of stability
      i18n: run make update-po
      build-sys: add missing header files to tarball
      detect: recommend module-udev-detect instead of module-hal-detect
      remap: fix build for non-x86 builds
