In the old times media formats were represented using a bit field. This was
fast but had a few limitations.
1. Asterisk was limited in how many formats it could handle.
2. Formats, being a bit field, could not include any attribute information.
A format was strictly its type, e.g., "this is ulaw".
This was changed in Asterisk 10 (see
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Architecture+Proposal for
notes on that work) which led to the creation of the ast_format structure.
This structure allowed Asterisk to handle attributes and bundle information
with a format.
Additionally, ast_format_cap was created to act as a container for multiple
formats that, together, formed the capability of some entity. Another
mechanism was added to allow logic to be registered which performed format
attribute negotiation. Everywhere throughout the codebase Asterisk was
changed to use this strategy.
Unfortunately, in software, there is no free lunch. These new capabilities
came at a cost.
Performance analysis and profiling showed that we spend an inordinate
amount of time comparing, copying, and generally manipulating formats and
their related structures. Basic prototyping has shown that a reasonably
large performance improvement could be made in this area. This patch is the
result of that project, which overhauled the media format architecture
and its usage in Asterisk to improve performance.
Generally, the new philosophy for handling formats is as follows:
* The ast_format structure is reference counted. This removed a large amount
of the memory allocations and copying that was done in prior versions.
* In order to prevent race conditions while keeping things performant, the
ast_format structure is immutable by convention and lock-free. Violate this
tenet at your peril!
* Because formats are reference counted, codecs are also reference counted.
The Asterisk core generally provides built-in codecs and caches the
ast_format structures created to represent them. Generally, to prevent
inordinate amounts of module reference bumping, codecs and formats can be
added at run-time but cannot be removed.
* All compatibility with the bit field representation of codecs/formats has
been moved to a compatibility API. The primary user of this representation
is chan_iax2, which must continue to maintain its bit-field usage of formats
for interoperability concerns.
* When a format is negotiated with attributes, or when a format cannot be
represented by one of the cached formats, a new format object is created or
cloned from an existing format. That format may have the same codec
underlying it, but is a different format than a version of the format with
different attributes or without attributes.
* While formats are reference counted objects, the reference count maintained
on the format should be manipulated with care. Formats are generally cached
and will persist for the lifetime of Asterisk and do not explicitly need
to have their lifetime modified. An exception to this is when the user of a
format does not know where the format came from *and* the user may outlive
the provider of the format. This occurs, for example, when a format is read
from a channel: the channel may have a format with attributes (hence,
non-cached) and the user of the format may last longer than the channel (if
the reference to the channel is released prior to the format's reference).

Finally, this work was the culmination of a large number of developer's
efforts. Extra thanks goes to Corey Farrell, who took on a large amount of the
work in the Asterisk core, chan_sip, and was an invaluable resource in peer
reviews throughout this project.
There were a substantial number of patches contributed during this work; the

This patch includes the following:
* Unit tests for the abstract Jitter Buffer API. This includes both fixed
and adaptive flavors, testing nominal creation, frame input, frame retrieval,
resyncing; off nominal frame input overflow, out of order, and others.
* Tweaks to the abstract_jb API to remove the unnecessary resync_threshold
parameter from the create function (resync_threshold is already in the
struct passed into the create function)
* Ensure the fixed jitter buffer is empty before destroying it, to avoid an
ASSERT
* Don't "resync" the adaptive jitter buffer. The mechanism that was being
used actually causes the jitter buffer to think its being overflowed by going
around the jitterbuf API and attempting to 'resynch' it improperly. If a
resync is needed, the jitter buffer will do it properly by itself. Note that
this is only an optimization needed for trunk, as the worst that happens is
the loss of three voice packets before the adaptive jitter buffer will resync
anyway.

This patch is the foundation of an entire new way of looking at media in Asterisk.
The code present in this patch is everything required to complete phase1 of my
Media Architecture proposal. For more information about this project visit the link below.
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Architecture+Proposal
The primary function of this patch is to convert all the usages of format
bitfields in Asterisk to use the new format and format_cap APIs. Functionally
no change in behavior should be present in this patch. Thanks to twilson
and russell for all the time they spent reviewing these changes.

When configuring the adaptive jitterbuffer, the target_extra
value not only could not be set from the configuration, but was
not even being set to its proper default. This value is required
in order for the adaptive jitterbuffer to work correctly. To resolve
this a config option has been added to expose this value to the conf
files, and a default value is provided when no config specific value
is present.

This patch adds 'const' tags to a number of Asterisk APIs where they are appropriate (where the API already demanded that the function argument not be modified, but the compiler was not informed of that fact). The list includes:
- CLI command handlers
- CLI command handler arguments
- AGI command handlers
- AGI command handler arguments
- Dialplan application handler arguments
- Speech engine API function arguments
In addition, various file-scope and function-scope constant arrays got 'const' and/or 'static' qualifiers where they were missing.

Merging the issue11259 branch.
The purpose of this branch was to take into account
"burps" which could cause jitterbuffers to misbehave.
One such example is if the L option to Dial() were used
to inject audio into a bridged conversation at regular
intervals. Since the audio here was not passed through
the jitterbuffer, it would cause a gap in the jitterbuffer's
timestamps which would cause a frames to be dropped for a
brief period.
Now ast_generic_bridge will empty and reset the jitterbuffer
each time it is called. This causes injected audio to be handled
properly.
ast_generic_bridge also will empty and reset the jitterbuffer
if it receives an AST_CONTROL_SRCUPDATE frame since the change
in audio source could negatively affect the jitterbuffer.
All of this was made possible by adding a new public API call
to the abstract_jb called ast_jb_empty_and_reset.
(closes issue #11259)

build times - tested, there is no measureable difference before and
after this commit.
In this change:
use asterisk/compat.h to include a small set of system headers:
inttypes.h, unistd.h, stddef.h, stddint.h, sys/types.h, stdarg.h,
stdlib.h, alloca.h, stdio.h
Where available, the inclusion is conditional on HAVE_FOO_H as determined
by autoconf.
Normally, source files should not include any of the above system headers,
and instead use either "asterisk.h" or "asterisk/compat.h" which does it
better.
For the time being I have left alone second-level directories
(main/db1-ast, etc.).

This prevents modifying the strings in the stored variables,
and catched a few instances where this was actually done.
Given the differences between trunk and 1.4 (and the fact that this
is effectively an API change) it is better to fix 1.4 independently.

universal mod to make ast_flags a 64 bit thing. Instead, I added a 64-bit version of ast_flags (ast_flags64), and 64-bit versions of the test-flag, set-flag, etc. macros, and an app_parse_options64 routine, and I use these in app_dial alone, to eliminate the 30-option limit it had grown to meet. There is room now for 32 more options and flags. I was heavily tempted to implement some of the other ideas that were presented, but this solution does not intro any new versions of dial, doesn't have a different API, has a minimal/zero impact on code outside of dial, and doesn't seriously (I hope) affect the code structure of dial. It's the best I can think of right now. My goal was NOT to rewrite dial. I leave that to a future, coordinated effort.

allocated. These changes caused crashes when using a channel type that did
not support the jitterbuffer. Instead of fixing why it's crashing, I'm going
to implement this in a better way next week. The way I did it caused a
jitterbuffer to be allocated on every channel where the channel type supported
jitterbuffers, even if they were disabled.

so that channels not using a jitterbuffer don't waste as much memory
- ensure that the channel drivers that use jitterbuffers can handle a failure
from configuring a jitterbuffer on a new channel because of a memory
allocation error
- On passing through these channel drivers, configure the jitterbuffer before
starting the PBX thread instead of afterwards. If the pbx fails to start for
whatever reason, this would have caused a crash.
- Also on passing, move the increase of the usecount to after all of the
possible failure conditions in the function
- fix a place where ast_update_use_count() was not called
- ensure that the owner channel pointer of the channel pvt strcutures is set to
NULL in failure conditions
