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).
Commit 6bbeb78d forgot to change some of VU-meter output to stderr.
This patch makes the output of `aplay -vvv` consistent again.

Because of the way the pcm_read() functions are currently used, returning
rcount or result is equivalent but I feel it is more accurate to
return 'result'.

It is required (exclude the fatal SIGABRT) to call snd_pcm_close() and
the end of work (outside of the interrupt handler). Use new snd_pcm_abort()
function to inform alsa-lib to not ignore EINTR and move the in_aborting
variable to the global scope to be checked in the i/o loops.

Now aplay tries to follow the given channel map by rearranging the
channels even when the channel map override isn't allowed but if the
device is still capable to return a channel map.
Also update the man page appropriately.

With -m option, user can specify the order of channel map.
As of this commit, it just tries to override the channel map, thus it
works only on devices that support the channel map override like HDMI.
Adjusting the channel order in aplay itself will be added later.

aplay is limited to 32 channels, which makes it impossible to use it for
testing devices with more channels. here we increase the limit to 256,
which should be sufficient for a virtual device made of 4 64-channel
soundcards.

The recent addition of pause/resume control via keyboard brought
a problem when aplay/arecord is invoked in background. For avoiding
regressions, it's safer to use non-interactive mode as default and
enable the new feature via an option.

I have just discovered a minor logic inversion bug in

Basically, executing "aplay --list-pcms" lists all devices capable of
capture and executing "arecord --list-pcms" lists all devices capable
of playback.

By doing this we move them from the .data section to .rodata setion,
or from .data.rel to .data.rel.ro.
The .rodata section is mapped directly from the on-disk file, which is
always a save, while .data.rel.ro is mapped directly when using
prelink, which is a save in a lot of cases.

Added the support of stereo VU-meter.
Enabled via -Vs option.
The new option, -V, can be used to enable the VU-meter. Now
VU-meter can be enabled even without -vv.
WAV files with more than 2 channels or with more than 16 bits per samples
can be saved with "extensible format" chunk
(see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms713496(VS.85).aspx).
For instance, sox, when converting data to 24- or 32-bits per sample format
uses this format, and aplay was unable to play such file. Now the problem
is solved :-)
