Some distributions set --auto_features=enabled which messes with the
internal logic of the build system when features are used for other
purposes than pure dependency control. The only solution is to either
avoid the value auto or change the type of the option to non-feature.
This commit does the later by replacing -Dmedia-session, -Dwireplumber
and -Dsession-manager with the new -Dsession-managers array and
-Ddefault-session-manager combo options.

Use the quirks database to check whether to enable MSBC codec for each
device.
If quirks don't allow ALT1 mode for an USB adapter, check whether the
adapter has an usable ALT6 mode and disable MSBC if not.
For cases where auto has an always known value, explicitly set it for
the sake of clarity. This commit only deals with the most trivial uses
that do not require rewriting the internal logic and where auto is not
behaving in a third way that's distinct from both enabled and disabled.
This allows building wireplumber as part of the pipewire build
and running it in the uninstalled environment instead of media-session.
Building each session manager is individually contolled by the options:
-Dmedia-session=auto/enabled/disabled
-Dwireplumber=auto/enabled/disabled
And controlling which one is used in pipewire.conf is done with:
-Dsession-manager=media-session/wireplumber
Wireplumber's source tree must be in subprojects/wireplumber/
If this is missing, the .wrap file ensures that the latest git
master is downloaded while meson configures the build.
This git tree will not be automatically updated later, you need
to ensure that it is up-to-date on your own.
Mostly uses the existing infrastructure, but the webrtc canceller has a
fixed blocksize, so we:
1. Use the canceller blocksize if configured
2. Accumulate output data in a ringbuffer
3. Push out the data in the required chunk size
This is important for cross-platform build frameworks such as Yocto
where the build configurations must be deterministic. In this case, if
some other build dependency pulled in SDL2, then the meson.build logic
would suddenly enable extra features that would not have been built
otherwise. By allowing for explicitely enabling/disabling SDL2 and sndfile
depending bits, this problem is fixed.
It unnecessarily introduces a dependency and gives the wrong
impression to packagers about this feature, which is not
actually something useful or even usable outside the build tree
In order to further simplify "unprivileged" builds, add "udev" boolean,
which make installing Udev rules optional.
I.e. without requiring any ugly hacks (mktemp -d), an privileged build
capable of running PulseAudio and JACK applications, can be configured
trivially:
meson --prefix=~/.local build
meson configure build -Dsystemd-user-unit-dir=$HOME/.config/systemd/user
meson configure build -Dpipewire-alsa=false
meson configure build -Dudev=false

Add a new build option 'system-user-unit=dir', which can be used to
override the pkg-config default value.
By doing this, it becomes more practical to make a local unprivileged
build of the latest PipeWire:
$ meson --prefix=~/.local build
$ meson configure build -Dpipewire-alsa=false
$ meson configure build -Dsystemd-user-unit-dir=~/.config/systemd/user
$ meson configure build -Dudevrulesdir="`mktemp -d`"
$ ninja -C build install
For a local build enabling ALSA plugins is not plausible.
JACK needs a simple addition to the ~/.profile:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/.local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pipewire-0.3/jack
Finally, the genuine PulseAudio must be masked and local services
enabled:
systemctl --user enable pipewire.socket
systemctl --user enable pipewire-pulse.socket
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.service
A sanity check [*] shows that nothing has leaked out of the home
directory (even though at least on my Debian 10 system PolKit still
asks for authorization during the meson build).
Not perfect, but lowers a barrier to run the development version a lot,
as that does not anymore to trash your system.

Don't build by default, update the README
With pulse-server we are more flexible and compatible and we don't
have to (badly) reimplement libpulse anymore.
As hsphfpd is a prototype and its API subject to change, this backend is
disable by default.
This skeleton connects to hsphfpd daemon and list the managed devices.
Add system service and socket in addition to the user service and
socket. The system service is started as pipewire user and group and
clients need to be in the pipewire group to be able to connect.
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.

Don't use a special name for the replacement libraries but install
them into the modules directory by default. Add an option to install
them into another location.
This way, we don't need to set up symlinks in development, distros can
choose to install them where they want and/or we can use symlinks or
LD_LIBRARY path to select the replacement versions.
Use the pw- prefix for all pipewire tools. This makes the
commands shorter but also avoids conflicts with password
and patchwork tools (pwcli is taken, pwconv is maybe we someday
can make).
pipewire-monitor -> pw-mon
pipewire-cli -> pw-cli
pipewire-dot -> pw-dot
pwcat -> pw-cat
pwcat is analogous to pacat of PulseAudio which implements
both playback and recording capability.
Only wav files are supported for now, and you can use the
handy pwplay and pwrecord aliases for easy use.
Playback a wav file
$ pwplay foo.wav
Record a wav file
$ pwrecord -r 44100 -c 1 -f s16 foo.wav

Add an option to allow the user to disable examples, this will allow to
build pipewire without alsa. Without this option, build with

PipeWire does not work without at least the basic SPA plugins.

Makes a device with a source and sink that automatically
proxies all physical ports from jack. Jack then drives our
PipeWire pipeline from its own thread.
