PulseAudio 14.0

Changes at a glance:

 * Notes for end users
   * Significant routing changes to default sinks/sources
     * Changing the default sink moves streams from the old default sink to the new
     * Moving a stream to the default sink removes the "manually routed" status of the stream
     * If a sink changes status to available, streams that prefer that sink move there automatically
     * The same changes have been applied to the source stream routing
     * Workaround for GNOME Sound Settings' stream routing behaviour
     * module-rescue-streams is deprecated, functionality moved to the core
     * New rescue-streams option in daemon.conf

   * The RAOP sink can be configured to automatically reconnect on connection failures
   * Separate sink_channels and source_channels for module-jackdbus-detect
   * Improved support for ALSA UCM
   * Support for ALSA mixer controls with non-zero index
   * It's now possible to set intended roles for devices in the ALSA profile configuration
   * Ports now have a type associated with them
   * Mappings have a new "description-key" option in the ALSA profile configuration
   * New xauthority argument for X11 modules
   * module-null-sink's compressed format support can now be configured at run-time
   * The enable-lfe-remixing option in daemon.conf was split into remixing-produce-lfe and remixing-consume-lfe
   * New channel_map argument for module-raop-sink
 * Notes for application developers
   * pa_mainloop_prepare interprets the timeout argument as microseconds again
   * New availability_group and type fields in the port info structs
   * New macros: PA_LIKELY(), PA_UNLIKELY(), PA_CLAMP() and PA_CLAMP_UNLIKELY()
 * Notes for packagers
   * New GStreamer-based RTP implementation
   * qpaeq switched from Python 2 to Python 3
   * Compile-time option to forget pre-14.0 stream routing
   * The install path of the ALSA configuration files is now configurable
   * GNU gettext minimum version requirement bumped from 0.19.3 to 0.19.8
