Summary0007119: solo produces xruns reproducibly
DescriptionThis big template:
https://github.com/magnetophon/.dot/raw/master/audio/.config/ardour5/templates/32inLiveMonitor-template/32inLiveMonitor-template.template
runs x-run free with 2*64 buffers.
When I press solo, I get an xrun plus a glitch in the output audio.
The recorded audio is fine, kudos!

I've added a logging file in Trace Event format that may help explain what is happening in this case. You can see what happens in the Audioengine thread when you solo a single track at about 5163ms

This may be dramatically improved at or after git commit c5eda4cfe1e, so nightly builds available on Nov 26th and later.

I have attached two log files in the Trace Event format for two builds (before/after Solo related fixes) under the same conditions with same Session (64 Audio tracks)

The log shows the time taken to enable and disable Solo for one track in a group of 16 tracks. The same logging categories are enabled in both logs with roughly the same overhead. There is a lot more information that could be added to these logs but I've tried to keep the overhead to a minimum.

The log output for a build of master@91ee1b6186 (which is before any recent Solo related fixes) shows Session::Process taking ~36ms to enable/disable solo and the other build of master@0d9030cee1 (with the Solo fixes) takes ~4ms during Session::Process when processing the solo change.

So definitely seems like a marked improvement based on my testing.
