* audio/out: make draining a separate operationwm42014-03-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, this was always conflated with uninit. This was ugly, and also many AOs emulated this manually (or just ignored it). Make draining an explicit operation, so AOs which support it can provide it, and for all others generic code will emulate it. For ao_wasapi, we keep it simple and basically disable the internal draining implementation (maybe it should be restored later). Tested on Linux only.
* audio/out: feed AOs from a separate threadwm42014-03-091-0/+219
This has 2 goals: - Ensure that AOs have always enough data, even if the device buffers are very small. - Reduce complexity in some AOs, which do their own buffering. One disadvantage is that performance is slightly reduced due to more copying. Implementation-wise, we don't change ao.c much, and instead "redirect" the driver's callback to an API wrapper in push.c. Additionally, we add code for dealing with AOs that have a pull API. These AOs usually do their own buffering (jack, coreaudio, portaudio), and adding a thread is basically a waste. The code in pull.c manages a ringbuffer, and allows callback-based AOs to read data directly.
