Christophe Fergeau 7ea1f2c133 sound: Use RedChannelClient to receive/send data
You can see that SndChannelClient has much less field
as the code to read/write from/to client is reused from
RedChannelClient instead of creating a fake RedChannelClient
just to make the system happy.

One of the different between the old sound code and all other
RedChannelClient objects was that the sound channel don't use
a queue while RedChannelClient use RedPipeItem object. This was
the main reason why RedChannelClient was not used. To implement
the old behaviour a "persistent_pipe_item" is used. This RedPipeItem
will be queued to RedChannelClient (only one!) so signal code we
have data to send. The {playback,record}_channel_send_item will
then send the messages to the client using RedChannelClient functions.
For this reason snd_reset_send_data is replaced by a call to
red_channel_client_init_send_data and snd_begin_send_message is
replaced by red_channel_client_begin_send_message.

   SPICE: Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments
   =============================================================

SPICE is a remote display system built for virtual environments which
allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the
machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and
from a wide variety of machine architectures.

Installation
------------

The SPICE package uses GNU autotools, so the build install process
follows the standard process documented in the INSTALL file. As a
quick start you can do

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib
  make
  sudo make install

Or to install into a private user specific location

  ./configure --prefix=$HOME/spice
  make
  make install

The following mandatory dependancies are required in order to
build SPICE

    Spice protocol >= 0.9.0
    Pixman         >= 0.17.7
    OpenSSL
    libjpeg
    zlib
    Cyrus-SASL

The following optional dependancies increase the available
functionality

    GE Gui         >= 0.6.0,  < 0.7.0   (GUI app support)
    OpenGL                              (GUI app support)
    Alsa                                (Linux support)
    XRandR         >= 1.2               (X11 support)
    Xinerama       >= 1.0               (X11 support)
    libcacard      >= 0.1.2             (Smartcard support)

Communication
-------------

To communicate with the development team, or to post patches
there is a technical mailing list:

   http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel

There is also a mailing list for new release announcements:

   http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-announce/

To view known bugs, or report new bugs, in SPICE visit

   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Spice

Bugs found when using an OS distribution's binary packages should
be reported to the OS vendors' own bug tracker first.

The latest SPICE code can be found in GIT at:

   http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/
