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.
Pass a message around to make things more extensible later.
Keep fds per message if we ever want to write individual
messages.
Pass number of fds in the message header. We might need this to
close the fds when the proxy is gone.
Make a get node method that binds to the server side node of the
client-node immediately. use this in the remote_export and always
return a node proxy.
Use the node proxy to get property updates and signal those in the
stream.
Pass the complete spa_node_info to update node information. Remove
the redundant max/min port info.
Update the remote node based on port and node update events.
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 an eventfd for each node and listen for events when the node
is activated.
Reorganize some graphs links to make it possible to activiate nodes
by signaling the eventfd
Pass the peer node to each remote node and let the remote node
directly activate the peer when needed.
Let each node signal the driver node when finished.
With this we don't need to go through the daemon to schedule the
graph, nodes will simply activate eachother. We only go to the
server when there is a server node to schedule.
Keep stats about the state of each node and the time it was
triggered, running and finished.
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.
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 explicit links between elements that are used to activate the
next element in the graph.
Make subgraphs a special regular node. Make a link from the
subgraph children to the parent so that the subgraph completes when
all the children completed.
Implement a single process function in plugins
Remove many messages in the client node
Remove the per-port memory and only use per-node memory. This will
make it possible to share memory between ports in the future.
Keep refs to memory on the buffers and free (close) the memory
when no longer used.
Do not send the offset and size in the add_mem call, just send the
fd and the flags. The area that we need to map from this to find the
meta, chunk and data are sent in a separate call. This should make
it possible to truncate the memory to a larger size to dynamically
allocate more shared memory for a client.
Remove the Id data type, it's not needed.
Don't automatically map memory in remote.c
Pass the original memory type from server to client.
Handle DmaBuf mem in video-play now that the server passed it on.
Add control objects for all controllable properties on ports.
Try to link compatible control properties in autolink.
Allocate shared memory for the output property memory and configure
the io area on the ports when the controls are linked.
Send the shared memfd to clients when the io area is configured.
Add port_set_io support in remote.c, mmap the control io area and
set on the port.
Add some param helpers
Add volume control to export-source update the volume before
sending each buffer.
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.
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.
The listeners are generally useful in spa, move it there and rename
to hooks. Implement loop hooks with it.
Fix some cleanup issues in stream and remote
Remove signals.
Rename callbacks -> events, use listeners to listen for events.
Callbacks are still used in spa for things you can listen to only
once.
Fix docs
Add some more versions to interfaces
Make types for the various proxy object + inline methods that does type
checking and create proxys etc.
Set owner client of client-nodes in the properties
Pass type to bind to in create-node
Don't place global id in the info structs
Improve registration of marshal functions
Pass more types around as ids
Add hooks that contain protocol specific interfaces that can be used
to extend the protocol. This makes it possible to add new interfaces
to the protocol and implement the protocol specific data transport.
Move these protocol specific extension to the extensions directory.
