ESLint 4.8.0 discovers a lot of error related to formatting. While I
tried to fix as many of them as possible, a portion of them actually go
against our coding style. In such a case, I've disabled the indent rule
which effectively leaves it as it was before ESLint 4.8.0.
Additionally, remove jshint because it's becoming a nuisance with its
lack of understanding of ES2015+.
This is in preparation for an upcoming "audio only mode" feature. Setting last N
will also be required for it, so this patch factors out the action and makes it
public so other modules can reuse it.
In addition, if the value is set to undefined the configured default value (or
-1 if absent) is picked.
