This only applies to linux systems.  Here, sched_setscheduler() is
called to get realtime scheduling.  With this patch, the return value
of this function is now checked and a warning / error message is

Works around the "PCM conversion from f to dsd is not implemented"
error message that prevents DSD playback.

Fixes memory leak because ao_plugin_close() never gets called.

Be consistent.

API simplification.  We can now avoid abusing a "size_t*" as

Allows the kernel to combine timer wakeups with other processes,
reducing power usage.

For debugging.

Use the existing PcmDither library.

Since opening the PcmVolume object can now fail, this case must be
handled.

Replaces Reset() and eliminates the AudioFormat parameters from the
Convert() method.

Wake up the OutputThread only if it hasn't already been woken up and
if it isn't already in the playback loop.

Prepare to migrate away from GLib.  Currently, we're still using GLib
as a backend.

Replaces GLib's GError.
