 * Purpose
 * =============================================================================
 * In CoreAudio, the data callback will holds a mutex shared with AudioUnit
 * (mutex_AU). Thus, if the callback request another mutex M held by the another
 * function, without releasing mutex_AU, then it will cause a deadlock when the
 * another function, which holds the mutex M, request to use AudioUnit.
 *
 * The following figure illustrates the deadlock in bug 1337805:
 * https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1337805
 * (The detail analysis can be found on bug 1350511:
 *  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1350511)
 *
 *                   holds
 *  data_callback <---------- mutext_AudioUnit(mutex_AU)
 *      |                            ^
 *      |                            |
 *      | request                    | request
 *      |                            |
 *      v           holds            |
 *  mutex_cubeb ------------> get_channel_layout
 *
 * In this example, the "audiounit_get_channel_layout" in f4edfb8:
 * https://github.com/kinetiknz/cubeb/blob/f4edfb8eea920887713325e44773f3a2d959860c/src/cubeb_audiounit.cpp#L2725
 * requests the mutex_AU to create an AudioUnit, when it holds a mutex for cubeb
 * context. Meanwhile, the data callback who holds the mutex_AU requests the
 * mutex for cubeb context. As a result, it causes a deadlock.
 *
 * The problem is solve by pull 236: https://github.com/kinetiknz/cubeb/pull/236
 * We store the latest channel layout and return it when there is an active
 * AudioUnit, otherwise, we will create an AudioUnit to get it.
 *
 * Although the problem is solved, to prevent it happens again, we add the test
 * here in case someone without such knowledge misuses the AudioUnit in
 * get_channel_layout. Moreover, it's a good way to record the known issues
 * to warn other developers.
