Recently users reported a bug, I tested it and found it is a common
issue on Laptop or Desktop machines.
The issue is users plug a headset and use "arecord test.wav" to
record a sound with default input volume, the recorded sound has
poor quality and nearly can't distinguish it is the sound we want
to record.
This is because the input volume is low and the default format is U8.
The driver records sound with 16bit, because the input volume is low,
most of samples are within (-256,+256), when converting 16bit to U8,
those samples will be 0x7f. This is called quantization noise and we
could only workaround it by increase the input volume or adding -f to
arecord.
But users want to record a better quality sound with default input
volume (after installing a new OS, the volume is the default volume),
and they don't want to add parameters to the arecord because most of
new linux users just use "arecord test.wav".
So this patch tries to change the default format from U8 to S16_LE/BE.
If the machine doesn't support S16_LE/BE, it still uses U8 as default
format.

This patch changes the way aborted stream is being saved. Currently when
abort signal happens the write back of read samples is skipped but there
is no reason to not save them. Also, we need to know how much frames have
been read and write only those.

This patch changes the logic of pcm_read() when abort signal has been
detected. During such condition we should return the amount of frames
actually read instead of the size requested by caller.
Currently functions pcm_read() and pcm_readv() when aborted (in_aborting
flag set) return the amount of requested frames instead of those actually
read prior to interrupt. The consequence of this is repetition of recent X
frames where X stands for amount of frames in one period. This problem is
barely visible or rather audible when the period is small like few
milliseconds because repetition of 1 [ms] of data is not-noticeable
however if we use buffer and period sizes in seconds then the problem
becomes apparent.

aplay tries to check the file size via fstat() at parsing the format
headers and avoids parsing when the size is shorter than the given
size. This works fine for regular files, but when a special file like
pipe is passed, it fails, eventually leading to the fallback mode
wrongly.
A proper fix is to do this sanity check only for a regular file.

This fixes a bug when trying to play files with size
smaller than maximum supported header size.
Lets have a look at the following example:
$ aplay -s 2 sample.raw
-> playback_go(fd = 10, loaded = 26, count = 2, name="sample.raw")
--> l = loaded = 26
--> c = count - written = 2
--> c -= l = 2 - 26 = -24
---> r = safe_read(fd, audiobuf + 26, -24)
---> r = -1, EXIT_FAILURE
In this case we have already 'loaded' from the input file more
bytes that we need to send to pcm device. So, we need to adjust
the number of bytes loaded and avoid reading a negative number
of bytes.

This introduces read_header function which tries
to read the header of an audio file in order to determine
its type.
This has the following effects:
(1) makes code easier to read
(2) don't abort if file size is less than expected header
(2), allows us to play small files with size smaller than any
supported audio file headers.

If -d was given to arecord while commit
8aa13eec80 (now reverted) was in effect,
the last read would be shorter than the chunk size, but pcm_read would
read and return the chunk size, the samples were discarded, and
capture() continued in a loop because count never reached 0. arecord
opens a new file each loop iteration, if arecord is dynamically naming
files, --use-strftime option or beyond the wave 2GB limit, this will
generate a series of header only wave files. If the file is unique
the originally recorded data is lost and it will continue overwriting
the same file with a header only wave file.
While the current pcm_read can't fail (it can exit), it is better to
just fix this lurking bug in case it is "fixed" again.

When recording or playing back audio in a format where the number of
significant bits is less than the physical width (e.g. S24_LE), the VU
meter code needs to consider the number of significant bits in the samples
rather than the physical sample width (e.g. 24 vs 32 bits). Otherwise the
resulting VU meter display will be far too low and it will just indicate
0% all the time.
Tested with a device supporting the S24_LE format.

arecord removes a file before writing into it. It's not
appropriate in some cases. For example, if you a pass
a symlink to a file, then the symlink will be removed
while the user expects to record into the symlink's target.
Another case is recording into the device file. Some
modems provide a tty device file as a voice device.
And it's not possible to write into it under root with
arecord, because it removes the device file.
So check the type of a file before writing into it and
remove only regular files.

When aplay is invoked to play from stdin, it can't be terminated by
normal signals like SIGTERM or SIGINT. It's because our signal
handler tries to trap as much as possible while the stalling point is
not in the PCM loop but rather the file I/O.
For fixing this, leave our signal handler once when a signal is
received and snd_pcm_abort() is called. At the next hit, it shall be
handled normally.

This reverts commit 8aa13eec80.
The semantics for pcm_read() and pcm_readv() was changed, but the
callers expect the exact frame count as requested. It's possible
to fix callers, but the fix is more complicated than to revert the
change. Note that '-d' processing was broken in some cases.
Note: The reverted commit allows that the return value might be
greater than requested (see the first condition in read routines).
