2020-07-14timer: implement AV-syncVito Caputo
This is focused on keeping --on-the-fly-encoding in sync even over long videos. The existing code inevitably would fall into a permanently negative pdata->avd value letting things get increasingly out of sync and never correcting. Before removing the vestigial negative avd "don't wait" logic from get_frame when this permanently negative avd state was entered, get_frame would just start sampling at an unregulated fps. The timer thread which drives get_frame now consults avd on every tick, Depending on which which half is ahead, the timer will either cause get_frame to drop frames by advancing the frameno by more than one, or it will adjust its sleep delay in proportion to the delta. See comments in rmd_timer.c for more details. Note that in testing especially with a loaded system I observed some surprisingly large deltas where multi-second sleeps occurred to let the sound catch back up. I expect to revisit this issue more in the future, but would just like to get things more correct for now.
2020-07-14encode_image_buffer: duplicate missed framesVito Caputo
When the encoder finds the encoded - captured frameno delta > 1 it needs to fill the gap somehow. With how things are currently architected, the old yuv countents are gone so there's only the current frame available for filling. The newer theoraenc.h API exposes a theora_control() parameter for this purpose, so I've also added a theoraenc.h include implicitly bumping the libtheora dependency. But by now it shouldn't matter, and the rest of rmd should probably get updated to use the new theora API eventually anyways. I'm still uncertain what role pdata->avd will play in the long-run, but leaving its maintenance for now.
2020-07-12threads: introduce and use rmdThreadsSetName()Vito Caputo
Now users can easily differentiate which rmd subtasks are busy by using top-like tools in show-threads mode. Also aids in troubleshooting...
2020-07-11*: drop {gtk,qt}-recordmydesktop subdirsVito Caputo
This restores the recordmydesktop/ subdir as root from the mirror I cloned by fork from. I have no particular interest in the gtk/qt frontends and it doesn't appear they were part of a single tree in the past. But I will probably preserve backwards compatibility of the cli so they can continue to work with this fork installed.
