There where 3 major errors in the previous code:
1) The kAudioDevicePropertyPreferredChannelLayout selector returns a single
layout not an array.
2) The check for AudioChannelLayout allocation size was wrong (didn't account
for variable sized struct).
3) Didn't query the kAudioDevicePropertyPreferredChannelsForStereo selector
since I didn't know about it's existence.
All of these are fixed.
Might help with #1367
AudioChannelLayout uses a trailing variable sized array so we need to
query CoreAudio for the size of the struct it is going to need (or the
conversion of that particular layout would fail).
Fixes#1366
...because everything is terrible.
strerror() is not documented as having to be thread-safe by POSIX and
C11. (Which is pretty much bullshit, because both mandate threads and
some form of thread-local storage - so there's no excuse why
implementation couldn't implement this in a thread-safe way. Especially
with C11 this is ridiculous, because there is no way to use threads and
convert error numbers to strings at the same time!)
Since we heavily use threads now, we should avoid unsafe functions like
strerror().
strerror_r() is in POSIX, but GNU/glibc deliberately fucks it up and
gives the function different semantics than the POSIX one. It's a bit of
work to convince this piece of shit to expose the POSIX standard
function, and not the messed up GNU one.
strerror_l() is also in POSIX, but only since the 2008 standard, and
thus is not widespread.
The solution is using avlibc (libavutil, by its official name), which
handles the unportable details for us, mostly. We avoid some pain.
Before it used whatever was in ao->format and changed the bits even
though this might have nothing to do with the actual WAVEFORMAT
negotiated with WASAPI.
For example, if the initial ao->format was a float and we had set the
WAVEFORMAT to s24, this would create a non-existent float24 format.
Worse, it might put an u16 into ao->format when WAVEFORMAT described s16.
WASAPI doesn't support unsigned at all as far as I can tell.
this involved inverting the logic of find_formats, enumerate_devies
and wasapi_fill_VistaBlob. The latter two were trivial as their return
values were not actually checked (to be fixed in a later
commit).
Before these definitions were incorrectly guarded by and #ifdef
but since they aren't macros, this would never be true so that
if they were ever added to mingw headers we would have problems.
rename KSDATAFORMAT constants with the same mp prefix for consistency.
also use DEFINE_GUID rather than defining the bare structure
snd_pcm_prepare() was not always called, which could result in an
infinite loop.
Whether snd_pcm_prepare() was actually called depended on whether the
device was a hw device (or other characteristics; depending on
snd_pcm_hw_params_can_pause()), and required real suspend (annoying for
testing), so it was somewhat tricky to reproduce without knowing these
things.
When setting the ALSA channel map, we never actually set the map we got
from ALSA directly, but convert it to mpv's, and then back to ALSA's.
mpv and ALSA use different conventions for mono, and there is already an
exception for ALSA->mpv, but not mpv->ALSA.

ALSA returns "FL" as channel layout when trying to play mono. mpv and
libavresample don't like this; in particular, using libavresample to
convert stereo to "FL" fails.
ALSA is crap. It's impossible to make multichannel playback just do the
right thing. dmix (the default on most distros) can do stereo only, and
will refuse to play multichannel. On the other hand, if you try like mpv
(and mplayer) to open a multichannel device (like "surround51" etc.),
this will actually open a hardware device, which will either fail if
dmix is active, or block out dmix if opening succeeds.
This commit falls back to "default" (i.e. dmix) if opening a
multichannel device fails, which is a tiny step towards the right
behavior. (Although fixing it fully is impossible.)
