pa_memblockq_push() expects all memchunks to be aligned to PCM frame
boundaries, and that means both the index and length fields of
pa_memchunk. pa_rtp_recv(), however, used a memblock for storing both
the RTP packet metadata and the actual audio data. The metadata was
"removed" from the audio data by setting the memchunk index
appropriately, so the metadata stayed in the memblock, but it was not
played back. The metadata length is not necessarily divisible by the PCM
frame size, which caused pa_memblock_push() to crash in an assertion
with some sample specs, because the memchunk index was not properly
aligned. In my tests the metadata length was 12, so it was compatible
with many configurations, but eight-channel audio didn't work.
This patch adds a separate buffer for receiving the RTP packets. As a
result, an extra memcpy is needed for moving the audio data from the
receive buffer to the memblock buffer.

If the virtual sink is moved to a new master right after it has been created,
then the virtual sink input's memblockq can be rewound to a negative read
index. The data written prior to the move starts from index zero, so after the
rewind there's a bit of silence. If the memblockq doesn't have a silence
memchunk set, then pa_memblockq_peek() will return zero in such case, and the
returned memchunk's memblock pointer will be NULL.
That scenario wasn't taken into account in the implementation of
sink_input_pop_cb. Setting a silence memchunk for the memblockq solves this
problem, because pa_memblock_peek() will now return a valid memblock if the
read index happens to point to a hole in the memblockq.
I believe this isn't the best possible solution, though. It doesn't really make
sense to rewind the sink input's memblockq beyond index 0 in the first place,
because now when the stream starts to play to the new master sink, there's some
unnecessary silence before the actual data starts. This is a small problem,
though, and I don't grok the rewinding system well enough to know how to fix
this issue properly.
I went through all files that call pa_memblockq_peek() to see if there are more
similar bugs. play-memblockq.c was the only one that looked to me like it might
be broken in the same way. I didn't try reproducing the bug with
play-memblockq.c, though, so I just added a FIXME comment there.
is to allocate all audio memory blocks from a per-process memory pool which is
available as read-only SHM segment to other local processes. Then, instead of
writing the actual audio data to the socket just write references to this
shared memory pool.
To work optimally all memory blocks should now be of type PA_MEMBLOCK_POOL or
PA_MEMBLOCK_POOL_EXTERNAL. The function pa_memblock_new() now generates memory
blocks of this type by default.
