I saw this patch (as well as the thread earlier in the week), and just
wanted to mention that the decklink output also has explicitly
scheduled output for audio.  Hence it isn't just PulseAudio that might
be effected by any such patches.

I figure you probably overlooked decklink since it provides an aout
that can be found in modules/video_output/decklink.cpp as opposed to
the typical modules/audio_output directory.

I don't profess to know how/if these patches will have any impact on
the decklink output, but please keep it in mind if you're putting a
bunch of changes in there that apply to "everything but pulseaudio".

Thanks,

Devin
