pulse_mixer: wait for get_volume() operation to complete

The pa_context_get_sink_input_info() function is asynchronous, and
after it returns, libpulse does not guarantee that the operation has
completed yet; in fact, it is not likely.  Explicitly wait for the
operation to complete.

The code for the new pulse_wait_for_operation() function was inspired
by mplayer and xine code.
