Add a port_info event. With this, we get updates to ports pushed to
us, which is more convenient and also allows for better dynamic
add/remove of ports.
We don't need to the PortChanged event anymore
We can remove the get_port_ids/get_n_ports/port_get_info methods.
Update plugins
Improve the allocators to always align the buffer memory to the
requested alignment
Use aligned read and writes for sse functions and check alignment,
optionally falling back to unaligned path.
Add more tests and benchmark cases
Check and warn for misaligned memory in plugins.
Remove the spa_pod_iter helpers
Remove builder/parser vararg recurse option, you have to
manually recurse into structures when needed. This simplifies
things a lot.
Pass spa_pod_frames to builder and parser explicitly, we don't
have to keep an internal stack anymore.
The parser is now almost a mirror image of the builder.
Make the parser safer when iterating over objects, add functions
to check and get pod contents in a safe way.
Make the builder return errno style results on errors
Improve performance of object properties when they are stored and
retrieved in the same order.
Add many more tests for the builder and parser
Add some benchmarks
Automatically parse and build key/value when in objects without having
to prefix the key with ":"
Automatically build control/value when in sequence without the "."
prefix.
Remove the builder with key/pod, taking a reference to the stack built
temporary pods is not allowed in c++. We can use the varargs version
with the same convenient syntax.
Remove the parser "*" option, it is unused.
Improve spa_pod_builder_add_* and spa_pod_parser_get_* and make them
look similar.
If we don't have position information in the format, set the
unpositioned flag. Don't set position info in the format when the
unpositioned flag is set.
Remove the split/merge functionality from fmtconvert.
Make audioconvert use the splitter/merger.
Let client-stream decide what mode to configure audioconvert in.
Reorder channels to a more common default order.
Only add channel layout when channels > 1
Don't try to link to a session that is still starting
Small sse fixes.
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
Only allow properties inside objects, this makes it easier to
iterate the object, which is needed for efficiently processing
control streams.
Add a choice type to mark variable properties.
SPA_TYPE_Enum -> SPA_TYPE_Id to avoid confusion with choice enum
Make it easier to allocate and initialize properties on the stack
Make more efficient methods to make objects.
spa_io_control_range -> spa_io_range
Add helpers for sequence and control pod objects
Implement control properties in audiotestsrc, update test example.
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.
Make it possible to assign an arbitary node as the port mixer.
Also remove dynamically added ports.
Improve negotiation and allocation on the mixer ports
Add some more SSE optimisations
Move float mixer from the audio dsp to the port
Remove pw_node_get_free_port() and do things more explicitly.
Handle mixer ports in client-node
