This patch adds structures into qapi to replace the existing
configuration structures used by audio backends currently. This qapi
will be the base of the -audiodev command line parameter (that replaces
the old environment variables based config).
This is not a 1:1 translation of the old options, I've tried to make
them much more consistent (e.g. almost every backend had an option to
specify buffer size, but the name was different for every backend, and
some backends required usecs, while some other required frames, samples
or bytes). Also tried to reduce the number of abbreviations used by the
config keys.
Some of the more important changes:
* use `in` and `out` instead of `ADC` and `DAC`, as the former is more
user friendly imho
* moved buffer settings into the global setting area (so it's the same
for all backends that support it. Backends that can't change buffer
size will simply ignore them). Also using usecs, as it's probably more
user friendly than samples or bytes.
* try-poll is now an alsa backend specific option (as all other backends
currently ignore it)
