Hi Pierre,

I read the patch through. I propose using assertions liberally, but I
haven't done any research about how many ifs you'd have to add to the
calling code when the functions start to hit assertions with PA_MP3, or
whether there are even bigger issues with that approach.

pa_frame_size() can't return anything meaningful for mp3, so I think it
would make sense to have pa_assert(spec->format != PA_MP3) here.

Again, unless there's a good reason not to, I'd put
pa_assert(spec->format != PA_MP3) here.

Ditto.

Why not "mp3" or "MP3 stream"? Surely you won't be using PA_MP3 as a
generic format for all kinds of compressed streams? That would be quite
confusing naming.

Add a \since X.X.X tag.

You can't silence mp3 streams by setting random bytes to some magic
value, so this function shouldn't be called for mp3 streams. Therefore,
the mp3 case should hit pa_assert_not_reached().

pa_silence_memchunck_get() shouldn't be called when handling mp3 streams
or sinks, so use pa_assert_not_reached().

Space after "if", but not after "(" or before ")".

I believe it should work if you just protect the monitor source creation
code with "if (s->sample_spec.format != PA_MP3)"... ok, I did a quick
search for "monitor" in sink.c, and it turns out that you'll have to
also add "if (s->monitor_source)" in many places.
