The MSDN documentation for IsFormatSupported says a return code of
AUDCLNT_E_UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT means the function "succeeded but the
specified format is not supported in exclusive mode." This seems to
imply that the format is supported in shared mode, and that's what the
old code assumed, however try_format would incorrectly return success
with some drivers.
The remarks section of the documentation contradicts that assumption. It
says that in shared mode, if the audio engine does not support the
caller-specified format or any similar format, ppClosestMatch is set to
NULL and the function returns AUDCLNT_E_UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT. This is the
same as in exclusive mode, so treat AUDCLNT_E_UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT the
same regardless of opt_exclusive. In shared mode, the format selection
code will fall back to the mix format, which should always be supported.
Apparently, physically disconnecting the audio device (consider USB
audio) breaks the ALSA device handle forever. It will signal ENODEV.
Fortunately, it's easy for us to handle this, and we can just use
existing mechanisms that will make the playback core close and reopen
the AO. Whether the immediate reopening will actually succeeds really is
ALSA's problem, though.
In general, you need to check errno when using strtol(), but as far as I
know, strtol() won't reset errno on success. This has to be done
manually. The code could have failed sporadically if strtol() succeeded,
and errno was already set to one of the checked values.
(This strtol() still isn't fully error checked, but I don't know if it's
intentional, e.g. for parsing a numeric prefix only.)
We must not try to remap channels with this. Whethever ALSA gives us,
and whatever we do with it, the result will probably be nonsense.
Untested, as I don't have the required hardware.
This used to be required to workaround PulseAudio bugs. Even later, when
the bugs were (partially?) fixed in PulseAudio, I had the feeling the
hacks gave better behavior. On the other hand, I couldn't actually
reproduce any bad behavior without the hacks lately. On top of this, it
seems our hacks sometimes perform much worse than PulseAudio's native
implementation (see #1430).
So disable the hacks by default, but still leave the code and the option
in case it still helps somewhere. Also, being able to blame PulseAudio's
code by using its native API is much easier than trying to debug our own
(mplayer2-derived) hacks.
Put the Vista+ (_WIN32_WINNT) and the COM C (COBJMACROS) defines into
the build system, instead of defining them over and over in the code.

* bits instead of bytes

This message is printed when the audio device advertised a channel map,
but couldn't set it - which is probably a dmix bug (we'll never know,
ALSA doesn't take bug reports).
Print the requested map, so that the user (maybe) can make a connection
when seeing the message and the actually used channel map, which might
be less confusing. Or at least less useless.
Instead of just failing during channel map selection, try to select a close
layout that makes most sense and upmix/downmix to that instead of failing AO
initialization. The heuristic is rather simple, and uses the following steps:
1) If mono is required always prefer stereo to a multichannel upmix.
2) Search for an upmix that is an exact superset of the required channel map.
3) Search for a downmix that is the exact subset of the required channel map.
4) Search for either an upmix or downmix that is the closest (minimum difference
of channels) to the required channel map.
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).

...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
