This adds pulseaudio.daemon.config, which is a set of keys to values
which are directly translated to keys and values of pulseaudio's
daemon.conf, e. g.
hardware.pulseaudio.daemon.config = { flat-volumes = "no"; }
becomes
flat-volumes=no
in pulse/daemon.conf.
I have left in 2 NixOS custom config directives, so the configuration
should be the same with the only change in behaviour being that the
service is not eagerly loaded but in fact only socket activated, which
it should be.
Adds options for tcp streaming and avahi zeroconf support (so that the
server can be easily found by clients).
There is also an option to allow anonymous clients to stream to the
server (by default pulseaudio uses a cookie mechanism, see manpage).
Most of the desktop environments will spawn pulseaudio, but we can instead simply run it as a systemd service instead.
This patch also makes the system wide service run in foreground as recommended by the systemd projects and allows it to use sd_notify to signal ready instead of reading a pid written to a file. It is now also restarted on failure.
The user version has been tested with KDE and works fine there.
The system-wide version runs, but I haven't actually used it and upstream does not recommend running in this mode.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
Fixes the useless collisions in the system path.
The 64bit and 32bit variants have the same files, hence
it's pointless to put the 32bit pulseaudio in systemPackages.
Option defaults should not refer to store paths, because they cause
the manual to be rebuilt gratuitously. It's especially bad to refer to
a highly variable path like a computed configuration file.
Should bring most of the examples into a better consistency regarding
syntactic representation in the manual.
Thanks to @devhell for reporting.

Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
(systemd service descriptions that is, not service descriptions in "man
configuration.nix".)
Capitalizing each word in the description seems to be the accepted
standard.
Also shorten these descriptions:
* "Munin node, the agent process" => "Munin Node"
* "Planet Venus, an awesome ‘river of news’ feed reader" => "Planet Venus Feed Reader"
