Remove override for resources, it can't work in general.
Rename method to add_object_listener to add a listener for
events/methods from the remote object.
Rename some methods to _call to call the interface and _notify
to notify the listeners.
Remove unused client event to be notified of resource
implementations.
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.
Add a new struct spa_param_info that lists the available params on
a node/port and if they are readable/writable/updated. We can use
this to replace and improve the PARAM_List and also to notify
property change and updates.
Update elements and code to deal with this new param stuff. Add
port and node info to most elements and signal changes.
Use async enum_params in -inspect and use the param info to know
which ones to enumerate.
Use the port info to know what parameters to update in the
remote-node.
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.
Add return values to events and method callbacks. This makes it
possible to pass any error or async return value.
Add sync/done/error in both directions so that both proxy and resource
and perform/reply sync and produce errors.
Return a SPA_ASYNC from remote method calls (and events), keep the
sequence number in the connection.
With the core sync/done we can remove the client-node done method and
it's internal sequence number along with the seq number in method calls.
We can also use the method/event async return value to perform a sync
with as the unique sequence number for this method.
Add sync method and done/error event to proxy and resource.
Make the code to export objects more generic. Make it possible for
modules to register a type to export.
Make the client-node also able to export plain spa_nodes.
Let the remote signal the global of the exported object if any. We can
then remote the (unused) remote_id from the proxy.
Remove some events from the remote that we can find on the core_proxy.
Use the core_proxy to get to the done and info events.
Remove pw_remote_get_core_info(), we don't need this anymore now that
we don't listen for the event and the user can keep track of this
herself.
Make the current destroy method on the core for proxies to remove the
server side resource.
Make a new destroy method on the registry to destroy globals.
Remove the destroy method on the client-node
media-session: monitor the dsp and device node states to manage the
session state
Make special format types for planar and interleaved instead of
having a field.
Add enum for audio channel positions
Add some default audio channel layouts
Place the channel layout in the audio format when possible
alsa: place audio channel positions in format
Add sse optimized channel mixing for some common cases
Remove name from port info, it's not mandatory and in the properties
Add direction to port info
SPA_ID_* -> SPA_TYPE_*. We use 'type' for all registered types.
ID refers to either a registered type or an enum.
Improve introspection of object ids. Make 0 an invalid enum and
use it to look up the object id type.
Move some type-info files together.
Swap type and id of the object, we first specify the type and then
the id because the meaning of the id depends on the object type.
Param ids and IO ids are now simple enums.
Move some type info in one place, delete some type-info files
Fix type debug
Make audio layout an enum
Mark more enums as enums in types so they show us with their names in
the debug.
Do not use dynamic types anymore. The reason is that it's difficult:
- to maintain a shared type database over a network.
- the extra overhead when translating between processes and for
maintaining the translation tables.
- race conditions in translating in RT-threads, this is a problem
because we want to make event streams.
We now have simple enums with types and extension points for all
types. This is also nicer to use in general.
We don't need the mapper anymore or pass strings around as types.
There is a parallel type info system to get more info about ids and
enums and their hierarchy. It can also be used for debugging.
Do not pass the params of the node in the node_info, instead,
make a method to enumerate the params. This makes it possible for
clients to only enumerate what they need and when they need it.
Improve introspection of a port, add the name and properties.
Add an enum_param method on the port that can be used to enumerate
port formats.
Change -monitor and -cli and add support for enum_params on the node
and port.
Don't pass around the client object but keep track of the current
client in the core object. This way we don't need to add a client
argument to functions and can check security when needed.
Pass client to some core functions to make it possible to check
permissions when iterating globals.
Check permissions of factory before using it.
Check permissions in link factory, only allow linking of nodes we can
see.
Check permissions in the autolink module, only try to link to nodes
we can see.
Make client permissions update behave like an atomic update of an
unordered set of permissions, which is perhaps a bit more intuitive.
Load and register the module in one go because we need to have the
global set when calling the init function so that factories and nodes
can use this as the parent global.
Set the name in the global properties.
Add properties to global objects to make it easier to select what
nodes and objects to bind too. They can also be used to implement
permissions on the globals based on properties.
Add more error handling in _register.
Make more functions return a result code.
Make a separate pw_module_register, like all other objects.
Make a link factory and use create-object to make links. That way
we can have different kinds of links based on the factory and we
can also hide the factory when link creation should be blocked.
Add an argument to pass the result param to the caller instead of
having the caller have to pick it up from the builder.
Improve docs for node, clock and monitor
Pass spa_pod everywhere instead of spa_pod_object.
Pass result argument to spa_pod_filter to make things a little
nicer.
Make enum_params and set_param to configure properties, format
and other parameters. This allows us to remove some duplicate
code and make the properties and parameters much more extensible.
Use the object id to mark the id of the parameter.
Remove the spa_format and spa_props.
We can now make the client-node easier by merging the various
format methods into the params.
Make the stream API more powerful now that we can pass params
around.
read() returns ssize_t where a negative number is used for errors.
The value was read into a size_t and then checked for <0.
Change to ssize_t to handle the negative number.
Don't directly expose the state change methods. Only expose an activate
method for nodes that indicates if the node should be scheduled or not.
Let the link automatically negotiate two active nodes.
Make some defines for properties.
Use link property to make passive links. Passive links don't activate
the nodes.
Make sure the mainloop quits when quit is called before run.
