I'm aware that this is racy, and a check again after recording has
started (using pa_stream_get_index and pa_context_get_source_info) is
needed to verify that that this hasn't changed.
What I'm doing is, I'm writing a PulseAudio driver for my sound file
editor, and for recording I want to do the following:
- Get a list of supported recording format(s) before recording starts.
This is what the above is for.
- Start recording with one of the supported formats. At this point, a
check that the supported format hasn't changed is made.
- Make sure as far as possible that the format corresponds to the actual
format of the input, so we're not actually recording 8 kHz mono when we
think we're recording in high quality, for example.

Thanks.
