Since we switched from autotools to Meson in commit
94592c14, we don't need to include
`config.h` early to properly enable large file support.  Meson passes
the required macros on the compiler command line instead of defining
them in `config.h`.

This means we can include `config.h` at any time, whenever we want to
check its macros, and there are no ordering constraints.

This call was missing, causing very high CPU usage when the ALSA
output plugin was used with dmix.

Closes #391

This alleviates a problem in which 'volume +1' cannot be undo by
'volume -1' when using alsa hw mixer.

Closes #104

Fix breakage from commit bea5681f

Prepare to add an abstract class AudioOutput, to be implemented by
plugins, to get rid of the C-style vtable.

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

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

Use a listener interface instead of GlobalEvents.

Passing a void pointer is unsafe.

Move code from AlsaMixerPlugin.

EventLoop::AddCall() and EventLoop::AddIdle() are unsafe, because we
can't cancel those calls.

This deadlock was a regression by commit 8e38b4f8.  Since we currently
can't resolve this, let's revert the commit, and add a GLib specific
workaround for the build failure.

This is safer, and works without epoll().  Fixes a build failure with
uClibc, which does not support epoll().

Replaces GLib's g_ascii_strcasecmp().
