-To select between non-native(via control channel) and native modes(via audio
adapter ). The control port will be opened only in the non-native mode.
-To select different sample and sample step sizes. The Legacy non-native
mode also uses these params now.
-To provide the alsa device.
SPA_MEMBER is misleading, all we're doing here is pointer+offset and a
type-casting the result. Rename to SPA_PTROFF which is more expressive (and
has the same number of characters so we don't need to re-indent).
This makes it easier to test PipeWire in its "as-installed" state,
for example in an OS distribution.
The .test metadata files in ${datadir}/installed-tests/${package} are
a convention taken from GNOME's installed-tests initiative, allowing a
generic test-runner like gnome-desktop-testing to discover and run tests
in an automatic way.
The installation path ${libexecdir}/installed-tests/${package} is also
a convention borrowed from GNOME's installed-tests initiative.
In addition to the automated tests, I've installed example executables
in the same place, for manual testing. They could be separated into
a different directory if desired, but they seem like they have more
similarities with the automated tests than differences: both are there
to test that PipeWire works correctly, and neither should be relied on
for production use. Some examples are installed in deeper subdirectories
to avoid name clashes.

Example executable that runs an output audioadapter using audiotestsrc as slave
with an input audioadapter using alsa-pcm-sink as slave for easy testing.
The example-control executable does not play audio. This is because
alsa-pcm-sink needs a data system to run. This patch fixes the example by
loading a data system from libspa-support before creating the nodes.
FreeBSD doesn't provide timerfd and eventfd functions. These are implemented in
3rd party library called epoll-shim. Link targets requiring these functions to
this library.
Remove the node buffers reply again. We don't need it. Instead add a
new method to the client-node to upload an array of buffer datas.
This method is called after the client has allocated buffer mem. It
will update the buffers on the server side with the client allocated
memory.
Wait for the async reply of use_buffers when doing alloc_buffers so
that we can get the updated buffer mem before we continue.
Let the link follow the states of the ports.
Add some error code to the port error states.
Add PW_STREAM_FLAG_ALLOC_BUFFERS flag to make the client alloc buffer
memory.
Remove the CAN_USE_BUFFERS flag, it is redundant. We can know this
because of the IO params and buffer params.
Add flags to the port_use_buffer call. We also want this call to
replace port_alloc_buffer. Together with a new result event we can
ask the node to (a)synchronously fill up the buffer data for us. This
is part of a plan to let remote nodes provide buffer data.
Define a set of standard factory names and document what they
contain. This makes it possible to change the implementation by
mapping the factory-name to a different shared library.
Pass a factory_name in the object_info of monitor and device.
Restructure the factory name to mean something functionaly. With
the factory to library mapping this then means that the implementation
of certain factories can be configured in the config file.
The interface struct has the type,version and methods of the
interface.
Make spa interfaces extend from spa_interface and make a
separate structure for the methods.
Pass a generic void* as the first argument of methods, like
we don in PipeWire.
Bundle the methods + implementation in a versioned inteface
and use that to invoke methods. This way we can do version
checks on the methods.
Make resource and proxy interfaces that we can can call. We
can then make the core interfaces independent on proxy/resource and
hide them in the lower layers.
Add add_listener method to methods of core interfaces, just
like SPA.
Make struct spa_node_events for events emited from the main thread
and keep the spa_node_callbacks for the data thread callbacks.
The add_listener method installs the events and it's possible to
install multiple handles. Adding a listener first emits the info
and port_info events when installed, similar to how the PipeWire
proxy bind works.
This removes the need for the spa_pending_queue and makes it easier
to implement the _sync versions.
Add some helpers to make it easier for plugins to emit all the info
to new listeners.
Use the listeners for devices as well.
Don't use special callback in node to receive the results. Instead,
use a generic result callback to receive the result. This makes things
a bit more symetric and generic again because then you can choose how
to match the result to the request and you have a generic way to handle
both the sync and async case. We can then also remove the wait method.
This also makes the remote interface and spa interface to objects very
similar.
Make a helper object to receive and dispatch results. Use this in the
helper for enum_params.
Make device use the same result callbacks.
Remove the done and error callbacks. The error callback is in an
error message. The done callback is replace with spa_pending.
Make enum_params take a callback and data for the results. This allows
us to push the results one after another to the app and avoids ownership
issues of the passed data. We can then extend this to handle the async
case by doing a _wait call with a spa_pending+callback+data that will
be called when the _enum_params returns and async result.
Add a sync method.
All methods can now return SPA_RESULT_IS_ASYNC return values and you
can use spa_node_wait() to register a callback when they complete
with optional extra parameters. This makes it easier to sync and
handle the reply.
Make helper methods to simulate the sync enum_params behaviour for
sync nodes.
Let the transport generate the sequence number for pw_resource_sync()
and pw_proxy_sync(). That way we don't need to keep track of numbers
ourselves and we can match the reply to the request easily.
