This patch implements the playback mode support from the AAF plugin. Simply put, this mode works as follows: PCM samples provided by alsa-lib layer are encapsulated into AVTPDUs and transmitted through the network. In summary, the playback mode implements a typical AVTP Talker.
When the AAF device is put in running state, its media clock is started. At every tick from the media clock, audio frames are consumed from the audio buffer, encapsulated into an AVTPDU, and transmitted to the network. The presentation time from each AVTPDU is calculated taking in consideration the maximum transit time and time uncertainty values configured by the user.
Below follows some discussion about implementation details:
AVTP protocol doesn't support all formats and rates available in ALSA so the plugin sets some constraints to ensure only supported configurations are used (see aaf_set_hw_constraint function).
The plugin implements a media clock which is the source from AVTP timestamps. The AVTP timestamp is based on PTP time which uses International Atomic Time (TAI) coordinate system. The media clock is implemented through a periodic timer using timerfd infrastructure so the plugin requires that system clock and PTP clock are synchronized (instructions on how to sync these clocks are provided in doc/aaf.txt). CLOCK_TAI clockid isn't currently supported by timerfd so the timer fd is created using CLOCK_REALTIME and the start time is converted from TAI to UTC.
Even though only one file descriptor is used to implement the playback mode, this patch doesn't leverage ioplug->poll_fd but defines poll callbacks instead. The reason is these callbacks will be required to support capture mode (to be implemented by upcoming patch).
The TSN data plane interface is the AF_PACKET socket family so the plugin uses an AF_PACKET socket to send/receive AVTPDUs. Linux requires CAP_NET_RAW capability in order to open an AF_PACKET socket so the application that instantiates the plugin must have it. For further info about AF_PACKET socket family see packet(7).

A quick word about CLOCK_TAI: even though it is supported since kernel v3.10, it is not mentioned in clock_gettime() manpage. We'll submit a patch to fix this.
