[Merge] lp:~morphis/aethercast/add-integration-tests into lp:aethercast

[Simon Fels]

The proposal to merge lp:~morphis/aethercast/add-integration-tests into lp:aethercast has been updated.

Commit Message changed to:

Add integration tests to ensure performance doesn't regress

If we are going to rework the streaming pipeline or add further changes we need to ensure the overall performance doesn't decrease. The new integration tests uses statistics to ensure that the performance from the point where we retrieve a buffer from down to the point where we are going to hand it over to a UDP socket stays the same or better.

This reuses some code Thomas wrote for unity-scopes-api.
