This eliminates some overhead, because the compiler doesn't need to
consider these functions throwing.

Yet another potential crash bug fix.

Fixes potential crash bug.

Doesn't make a practical difference - but it's more correct this way.

Changed AlsaMixerPlugin to use the get and set normalized functions from volume_mapping of alsa-utils/alsamixer
Changed volume_mapping set volume to be for all channels and not per channel
added volume_mapping files to Makefile.am

Make all the locks exception-safe.

Also uses the notification system to display tags.

The old struct config_param remains only for top-level string options.

The attribute must be 0..100 and not 0..1024.  Previously, the code
was inconsistent.

-fixes regression introduced by:
 '8d6fedf8 [PATCH] Mixer: add class MixerListener'
-listener.OnMixerVolumeChanged() called GetVolume() which attempted to acquire
the lock but as per 'pa_threaded_mainloop_lock()' documentation:
This function may not be called inside the event loop thread. Events that are
dispatched from the event loop thread are executed with this lock held
-this patch seperates the underlying action of GetVolume() into a new
GetVolumeInternal() function, to be called only when the lock is already held, as
is the case for the listener.OnMixerVolumeChanged() call

Use a listener interface instead of GlobalEvents.

Passing a void pointer is unsafe.
