When using more than two channels, the channel map of pulse-audio is incorrect.
Add an API for getting a speaker map based on OBS speaker layout. Then use the
speaker map when connecting to a pulse-audio device, for both source and
monitor output.
This pull request changes the fallback sample format for pulse-audio
to from PA_SAMPLE_S16LE to PA_SAMPLE_FLOAT32LE.
The pulseaudio plugin can handle the following sample format:
* PA_SAMPlE_U8
* PA_SAMPLE_S16LE
* PA_SAMPLE_S32LE
* PA_SAMPLE_FLOAT32LE
When an audio device advertises itself as another format, the pulseaudio-plugin
will ask pulse audio to convert to the fallback sample format.
The fallback PA_SAMPLE_S16LE is not ideal when your audio interface advertises
as PA_SAMPLE_S24LE since the conversion will lose precision.
With PA_SAMPLE_FLOAT32LE there is no precision loss and it is also equals OBS's
internal format.

linux-alsa, linux-pulseaudio, mac-capture, obs-ffmpeg, win-dshow,
win-wasapi)
Default channel layout for 4 channels is 4.0 in FFmpeg.
Replacing quad with 4.0 will improve compatibility since FFmpeg has
better support of its default channel layouts.
(also modifies obs-ffmpeg, audio-monitoring, win-wasapi, decklink,
obs-outputs)
Removes speaker layouts which are not exposed in UI. The speaker
layouts selectable by users in the UI are the most common ones. It is
not necessary to keep other layouts. (This basically removes
5POINT1_SURROUND, 7POINT1_SURROUND, SURROUND =3.0).
(This commit also modifies the following modules: UI,
deps/media-playback, coreaudio-encoder, decklink, linux-alsa,
linux-pulseaudio, mac-capture, obs-ffmpeg, obs-filters, obs-libfdk,
obs-outputs, win-dshow, and win-wasapi)
Adds surround sound audio support to the core, core plugins, and user
interface.
Compatible streaming services: Twitch, FB 360 live
Compatible protocols: rtmp / mpeg-ts tcp udp
Compatible file formats: mkv mp4 ts (others untested)
Compatible codecs: ffmpeg aac, fdk_aac, CoreAudio aac,
opus, vorbis, pcm (others untested).
Tested streaming servers: wowza, nginx
HLS, mpeg-dash : surround passthrough
Html5 players tested with live surround:
videojs, mediaelement, viblast (hls+dash), hls.js
Decklink: on win32, swap channels order for 5.1 7.1
(due to different channel mapping on wav, mpeg, ffmpeg)
Audio filters: surround working.
Monitoring: surround working (win macOs linux (pulse-audio)).
VST: stereo plugins keep in general only the first two channels.
surround plugins should work (e.g. mcfx does).
OS: win, macOs, linux (alsa, pulse-audio).
Misc: larger audio bitrates unlocked to accommodate more channels
NB: mf-aac only supports mono and stereo + 5.1 on win 10
(not implemented due to lack of usefulness)

Decoupling the audio from the video causes the audio to be played right
when it's received rather than attempt to sync up to the video frames.
This is useful with certain async sources/devices when the audio/video
timestamps are not reliable.
Naturally because it plays audio right when it's received, this should
only be used when the async source is operating in unbuffered mode,
otherwise the video frame timing will be out of sync by the amount of
buffering the video currently has.
(Note: This commits also modifies the linux-pulseaudio, mac-capture, and
win-wasapi plugins)
Do not prevent the targeted output device from being monitored if the
selected monitor output device is a different one.
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#872
On windows, when a source has only audio (no video) yet is marked as
capable of both video and audio, it would be programmed to expect a
video frame to synchronize with. This fixes that potential issue by
detecting whether any video is actually playing or not.
Adds functions to turn on audio monitoring to allow the user to hear
playback of an audio source over the user's speaker. It can be set to
turn off monitoring and only output to stream, or it can be set to
output only to monitoring, or it can be set to both.
On windows, audio monitoring uses WASAPI. Windows also is capable of
syncing the audio to the video according to when the video frame itself
was played.
On mac, it uses AudioQueue.
On linux, it's not currently implemented and won't do anything (to be
implemented).
