The proxy API is the one that we would like to expose for applications
and the other API is used internally when implementing modules or
factories.
The current pw_core object is really a context for all objects so
name it that way. It also makes it possible to rename pw_core_proxy
to pw_proxy later.
The pw_remote object is really a wrapper around the pw_core_proxy.
The events it emits are also available in the core proxy and are
generally awkward to use.
With some clever new pw_core_proxy_* methods and a pw_core_connect
to create the core_proxy, we can convert all code away from pw_remote.
This is a first step in this conversion, using the pw_remote behind
the scenes. It leaks into some places because it really needs to become
its own struct in a next step.
Separate the session manager in a monitor and policy part.
The monitor manages the devices and endpoints.
The policy watches the nodes/ports/clients and applies the policy
of linking them.
Because both now have a separate connection, we can remove some
hacks in the protocol. When a remote was both the implementer and
user of an object we could get in a deadlock when the user was
blocked waiting and the implementator was blocked sending a reply.
We used to un-busy a client when it was expecting a reply from a
ping or sync for this reason.
Add and use some more keys for the endpoints and streams.
Remove the parent_id from the global event. Remove the parent
and owner from the global object.
Use properties instead to mark parents and owners of objects.
Properties are easier to control for client exported objects and
usually a simple parent/child is not enough. For example, a client
exported node has the client as a parent but also the factory that
created the node.
Implement per channel volume on channelmix. Extend control on stream to
take an array of values when possible.
Remove name argument from pw_node_new and pw_device_new. We can pass
this as a property instead.
Improve properties on nodes to more closely match what pulseaudio does.
Don't let the monitor do too much with the udev properties but let the
session manager set the description and icon-names.
Remove some change_mask flags for things that don't change in
introspect. Use the flags to mark changes in -cli and -monitor.
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.
