When the input port param enumeration has no result, use the NULL
filter to still enumerate the output port parameters instead of
returning nothing.
Fix the offset in the gst element.
Pass a spa_pod as the control io area. The pod is not supposed to
change in structure, only the values do so we can achieve the same
kind of performance as passing a single value but still allow for
more complex io area layouts to be passed later.
Add control properties to audiotestsrc for frequency and volume
and add a test program.
Add size parameter to set_io for additional checks and to make it
easy to know how much control data we can write.
Make it possible to configure multiple io areas on a port by giving
an id to set_io.
Add some types to enumerate the supported ids
Make an area to exchange buffers and one to specify pull ranges.
The idea is to make more area types for controlable properties.
Implement enumeration of IO areas in volume.
We can't use a ringbuffer on the chunk because it implies the
consumer would write to it to update the read position, which we
can't do because the chunk is read-only and might even be shared.
Go back to offset/size pairs, which can sortof do the same thing
if we want later when we keep a non-shared read pointer in the
consumer.
Keep alsa timestamp around and filled state for future.
mmap the input port meta/data/chunk as read-only.
Only do clock update requests when asked.
We can't allocate the shared meta in shared mem because then clients can
damage it for other clients. Place it instead right after the buffer
metadata array. Filter out the shared metadata for a client, we send it
as part of the client_buffer structure.
Remove pointer metadata, it's not so useful.
Document the layout of the allocated buffers and the shared memory.
Work on metadata to define control parameters
ringbuffer: remove size and mask from the ringbuffer, we have that
elsewhere in the user of the ringbuffer.
Remove the buffer data offset and size fields and replace with a
ringbuffer. We then have a ringbuffer in all buffer data, which
simplifies things.
We can now remove the ringbuffer metadata.
Reset the builder when the filter failed.
Make the plugins create their params in a temporary buffer, we
don't want to do in-place filtering because that is not always
possible. Because the filter now resets on error, we can remove
the reset from the plugins.
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.
Remove the frame argument from the builder, we can use the builder
allocated frames.
Add deref function to builder to make it more flexible later.
Add some more recursion depth checks in the parser.
Improve props filter, also filter other types.
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.
