Pipewire, as of 0.3.22, uses client config files to load modules instead of explicitly specifying them (PW_KEY_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MODULES is deprecated). Use the new method to load the realtime module to boost the audio thread priority.
This is to workaround systems where we hang in playback because the buffer
does not report the space for whatever reason. The system will instead block
in PlayDevice, which always immediately follows WaitDevice in modern times
so this works out, and it seems to keep the device moving forward.
For a future revision, we are either going to clean this up more properly,
or attempt to move to PulseAudio's pa_stream_set_write_callback() API, but
this will do for SDL 2.0.18.

Case fallthrough warnings can be suppressed using the __fallthrough__
compiler attribute. Unfortunately, not all compilers have this
attribute, or even have __has_attribute to check if they have the
__fallthrough__ attribute. [[fallthrough]] is also available in C++17
and the next C2x, but not everyone uses C++17 or C2x.
So define the SDL_FALLTHROUGH macro to deal with those problems - if we
are using C++17 or C2x, it expands to [[fallthrough]]; else if the
compiler has __has_attribute and has the __fallthrough__ attribute, then
it expands to __attribute__((__fallthrough__)); else it expands to an
empty statement, with a /* fallthrough */ comment (it's a do {} while
(0) statement, because users of this macro need to use a semicolon,
because [[fallthrough]] and __attribute__((__fallthrough__)) require a
semicolon).
Clang before Clang 10 and GCC before GCC 7 have problems with using
__attribute__ as a sole statement and warn about a "declaration not
declaring anything", so fall back to using the /* fallthrough */ comment
if we are using those older compiler versions.
Applications using SDL are also free to use this macro (because it is
defined in begin_code.h).
All existing /* fallthrough */ comments have been replaced with this
macro. Some of them were unnecessary because they were the last case in
a switch; using SDL_FALLTHROUGH in those cases would result in a compile
error on compilers that support __fallthrough__, for having a
__attribute__((__fallthrough__)) statement that didn't immediately
precede a case label.

Even without the thread, it'll do an initial hardware detection at startup,
but there won't be any further hotplug events after that. But for many cases,
that is likely complete sufficient.
In either case, this cleaned up the code to no longer need a semaphore at
startup.
Fixes#4862.
The observed behavior is that any nonzero timeout value would hang until the device was paused and resumed. And a zero timeout value would always return 0 frames written even when audio fragments could be heard. Making a manual timeout system unworkable.
None of the straightforward systems imply that there's a detectable problem before the call to AAudioStream_write(). And the callback set within AAudioStreamBuilder_setErrorCallback() does not get called as we enter the hang state.
I've found that AAudioStream_getTimestamp() will report an error state from another thread. So this change codifies that behavior a bit until a better fix or more root cause can be found.
See SDL bug #4703. This implements two new hints:
- SDL_APP_NAME
- SDL_SCREENSAVER_INHIBIT_ACTIVITY_NAME
The former is the successor to SDL_HINT_AUDIO_DEVICE_APP_NAME, and acts
as a generic "application name" used both by audio drivers and DBUS
screensaver inhibition. If SDL_AUDIO_DEVICE_APP_NAME is set, it will
still take priority over SDL_APP_NAME.
The second allows the "activity name" used by
org.freedesktop.ScreenSavver's Inhibit method, which are often shown in
the UI as the reason the screensaver (and/or suspend/other
power-managment features) are disabled.
The recent change to make SDL_AUDIODRIVER support comma-separated lists
broke the previous behavior where an SDL_AUDIODRIVER that was empty
behaved the same as if it was not set at all. This old behavior was
necessary to paper over differences in platforms where SDL_setenv may
or may not actually delete the env var if an empty string is specified.
This patch just adds a simple check to ensure SDL_AUDIODRIVER is not
empty before using it, restoring the old interpretation of the empty
var.
Originally, SDL 1.2 used "pulse" as the name for its PulseAudio driver.
While it now supports "pulseaudio" as well for compatibility with SDL
2.0 [1], there are still scripts and distro packages which set
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse [2]. While it's possible to remove this in most
circumstances or replace it with "pulseaudio" or a comma-separated list,
this may still conflict if the environment variable is set globally and
old binary builds of SDL 1.2 (e.g. packaged with older games) are being
used.
To fix this on SDL 2.0, add a hardcoded check for "pulse" as an audio
driver name, and replace it with "pulseaudio". This mimics what SDL 1.2
does (but in reverse). Note that setting driver_attempt{,_len} is safe
here as they're reset correctly based on driver_attempt_end on the next
loop.

This might have changed at some point in the Pulse API, or this might have
always been wrong, but we didn't notice because the dynamic loading code
hides it by casting things to void *. The static path, where it
assigns the function pointer directly, puts out a clear compiler warning,
though.
Don't rely on checking __clang_major__ since it is not comparable
between different vendors. Don't use "#pragma clang attribute" since it
is only available in relatively recent versions, there's no obvious way
to check if it's supported, and just using __attribute__ directly (for
gcc as well) results in simpler code anyway.
