**Problem**: Newly created sources (RTMP/SRT/RTC/RTSP) were being
immediately marked as "dead" and deleted by the cleanup timer before
publishers could connect, causing "new live source, dead=1" errors.
**Root Cause**: All source constructors initialized `stream_die_at_ =
0`, causing `stream_is_dead()` to return `true` immediately since
current time was always greater than `0 + 3 seconds`.
**Solution**: Changed all four source constructors to initialize
`stream_die_at_ = srs_time_now_cached()`, giving newly created sources a
proper 3-second grace period before cleanup.
This PR adds G.711 (PCMU/PCMA) audio codec support for WebRTC in SRS,
enabling relay-only streaming of G.711 audio between WebRTC clients via
WHIP/WHEP. G.711 is a widely-used, royalty-free audio codec with
excellent compatibility across VoIP systems, IP cameras, and legacy
telephony equipment.
Fixes#4075
Many IP cameras, VoIP systems, and IoT devices use G.711 (PCMU/PCMA) as
their default audio codec. Previously, SRS only supported Opus for
WebRTC audio, requiring transcoding or rejecting G.711 streams entirely.
This PR enables direct relay of G.711 audio streams in WebRTC, similar
to how VP9/AV1 video codecs are supported.
Enhanced WHIP/WHEP players with URL-based codec selection:
```
# Audio codec only
http://localhost:8080/players/whip.html?acodec=pcmuhttp://localhost:8080/players/whip.html?acodec=pcma
# Video + audio codecs
http://localhost:8080/players/whip.html?vcodec=vp9&acodec=pcmuhttp://localhost:8080/players/whep.html?vcodec=h264&acodec=pcma
# Backward compatible (codec = vcodec)
http://localhost:8080/players/whip.html?codec=vp9
```
Testing
```bash
# Build and run unit tests
cd trunk
make utest -j && ./objs/srs_utest
# Test with WHIP player
# 1. Start SRS server
./objs/srs -c conf/rtc.conf
# 2. Open WHIP publisher with PCMU audio
http://localhost:8080/players/whip.html?acodec=pcmu
# 3. Open WHEP player to receive stream
http://localhost:8080/players/whep.html
```

1. It cannot retrieve codec information on `Firefox` by
`getSenders/getReceivers`
2. It can retrieve codec information on `Chrome` by `getReceivers`, but
incorrect, like this:
3. So, we retrieve codec information from `getStats`, and it works well.
4. The timer is used because sometimes the codec cannot be retrieved
when `iceGatheringState` is `complete`.
5. Testing has been completed on the browsers listed below.
- [x] Chrome
- [x] Edge
- [x] Safari
- [x] Firefox

## How to reproduce?
1. Refer this commit, which contains the web demo to capture screen as
video stream through RTC.
2. Copy the `trunk/research/players/whip.html` and
`trunk/research/players/js/srs.sdk.js` to replace the `develop` branch
source code.
3. `./configure && make`
4. `./objs/srs -c conf/rtc2rtmp.conf`
5. open `http://localhost:8080/players/whip.html?schema=http`
6. check `Screen` radio option.
7. click `publish`, then check the screen to share.
8. play the rtmp live stream: `rtmp://localhost/live/livestream`
9. check the video stuttering.
## Cause
When capture screen by the chrome web browser, which send RTP packet
with empty payload frequently, then all the cached RTP packets are
dropped before next key frame arrive in this case.
The OBS screen stream and camera stream do not have such problem.
## Add screen stream to WHIP demo

HLS typically has a delay of around 30 seconds, roughly comprising three
segments, each lasting 10 seconds. We can reduce the delay to about 5
seconds by lowering the segment duration to 2 seconds and starting
playback from the last segment, achieving a stable delay.
Of course, this requires setting the OBS's GOP to 1 second, and the
profile to baseline, preset to fast, and tune to zerolatency.
Additionally, updating a few configurations in the hls.js player is
necessary, such as setting it to start playback from the last segment,
setting the maximum buffer, and initiating accelerated playback to
reduce latency.

### Description
When converting between AAC and Opus formats (aac2opus or opus2aac), the
`av_frame_get_buffer` API is frequently called.
### Objective
The goal is to optimize the code logic and reduce the frequent
allocation and deallocation of memory.
In the case of aac2opus, av_frame_get_buffer is still frequently called.
In the case of opus2aac, the goal is to avoid calling
av_frame_get_buffer and reduce memory allocations.
### Additional Note
Before calling the `av_audio_fifo_read` API, use
`av_frame_make_writable` to check if the frame is writable. If it is not
writable, create a new frame.

* RTMP: Support enhanced RTMP specification for HEVC, v6.0.42.
* Player: Upgrade mpegts.js to support it.
Enhanced RTMP specification: https://github.com/veovera/enhanced-rtmp
First, start SRS `v6.0.42+` with HTTP-TS support:
```bash
./objs/srs -c conf/http.ts.live.conf
```
Then, you can use [OBS 29.1+](https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases) to push HEVC via RTMP.
Start OBS with the following settings in the `Settings > Stream` tab:
* Server: `rtmp://localhost/live`
* Stream Key: `livestream`
* Encoder: Please select the HEVC hardware encoder.
Finally, open the player http://localhost:8080/players/srs_player.html?stream=livestream.ts
Or use VLS or ffplay to play `http://localhost:8080/live/livestream.ts`
