Commit 072391fc (Improve btr_splice_out_node(), 2013-03) modified this
function to take a pointer to a buffer tree node pointer so that the
node pointer can be invalidated after it is spliced out. However, this

It is possible that another instance of the ao writer is active

Currently we lock the mutex at the beginnint of each iteration

ao_write: Avoid segfault on exit.
If para_audiod is terminated by a signal it calls the ->close() method
of each active writer. In this method the ao writer calls ao_close()
and frees all resources but leaves the play thread active. So the
thread continues to run, prints
ao_alsa ERROR: write error: File descriptor in bad state
and probably crashes afterwards due to accessing freed memory. Fix this
by cancelling the thread in ->close() if it exists. Ironically enough,
this re-introduces a call to pthread_join(), but it's OK here since
we the cancelled thread should exit immediately (so we don't block),
and we are about to exit anyway.

ao_write: Avoid pthread_join().
The call to pthread_join() may block for hundreds of milliseconds,
depending of the amount of buffered data. This is not acceptable in
a post_select hook. Among other problems this leads to an incorrect time
display and fake "time jump" warnings.
This patch drops the call to pthread_join() and makes ->post_select()
return non-negative until the play thread has terminated. In order to
have a way to tell if the thread is still running we let the thread
(i.e. aow_play()) remove its own buffer tree node on exit instead
of doing this in ->post_select() after pthread_join(). Hence if
->thread_btrn is NULL, we know the thread has terminated. It would
be easier to use pthread_tryjoin_np() but this would not be portable,
as this function is a non-standard GNU extension.

This removes the old way of setting of private_alsa_write_data->buffer_time

be desirable to have more control over this value.
This patch adds the --buffer-time config option to the alsa

alsa: Work around poll fd problems.
In its ->pre_select method the alsa writer adds the alsa poll file
descriptor to the set of fds to be monitored during the next select
call. When this fd is ready for I/O, select() returns and ->post_select
is called. Currently ->post_select checks if the alsa poll fd is set
and returns early if it is not.
The problem is that on some hardware/kernel/alsa-lib combinations,
the poll fd is never marked as ready for I/O. This happens at least
on the raspberry pi with linux-3.10.10 and alsa-lib-1.0.27. The result
is no audio at all.
We address this problem in two ways:
* In alsa_init() we remember the buffer duration for later use in
->pre_select where we ask the scheduler to impose half of the duration
as an upper bound on the select timeout.
* In ->post_select, if there is input data available, we don't
check any more whether the poll fd is ready but try to write
unconditionally. On EAGAIN, we read from the poll fd to discard any
pending events.

Implement aes_ctr128 and prefer it over RC4.
This adds the aes_ctr128 stream cipher to para_server, para_client

feature and para_client requests an aes_ctr128-encrypted session
if the server supports it. If one or both sides don't understand
the new feature, the RC4 fallback applies. So this change is
backwards-compatible.
Both gcrypt and openssl support aes_ctr128, and the two implementations
are compatible to each other: a para_client linked against openssl can
talk to a para_server which was linked against libgcrypt and vice versa.
This patch also updates the documentation to talk about stream
ciphers and session keys rather than to mention RC4 explicitly. A
short section on AES is added which also explains how counter mode
