Can be used to group ports together. Mostly because they are all from
the same stream and split into multiple ports by audioconvert/adapter.
Also useful for the alsa sequence to group client ports together.
Also interesting when pw-filter would be able to handle streams in the
future to find out what ports belong to what streams.
The default kernel pool size on the input is 200 cells. A cell is
about 28 bytes long so the maximum message that can be received in one
go is about 5600 bytes. This causes problems when using amidi to upload
larger sysex messages because they simply can't be received by the
sequencer.
It if however possible to increase this limit with the set_client_pool()
function. Increase the pool size to at least the quantum_limit * 2.
This ensures we can receive and send at least 2 quantums of raw data,
which should be a fairly long sysex message.
Make a min and max value for the pool size. There is an upper limit of
2000 in the kernel but make this configurable and clamp the final
pool size to the min/max.
Make the MAX_EVENT_SIZE 256, because this is how the sequencer seems to
splits the input data as well and it results in less wasted space in the
output buffer.
See #4005
port_enum_params should use right param id for SPA_PARAM_Format.
Fix typoed , instead of ; at end of line. Pop frame before putting
state.offset, in case there would be padding added (apparently usually
no).
The PropInfo either has a registered id (and then also a name from the
type-info) or a custom name as a string.
In all cases, the description contains a free form text that clarifies
the property.
Use the description in the stream controls name.
Make the alignment parameter optional when negotiating buffers.
Default to a 16 bytes alignment and adjust for the max cpu
alignment.
Remove the useless align buffer parameter in plugins, we always
set it to 16 anyway.
We need to first mark the removed port as invalid, and then look for the
last valid port in the port array otherwise last_port becomes 0 and
midi dataflow stops.
Fixes#1601
When we add a new listener to an object, it will emit the full state
of the object. For this it temporarily sets the change_mask to all
changes. Restore the previous state after this or else we might not
emit the right change_mask for the next listener.
Consider the case where one there are two listeners on an object.
The object emits a change and the first listener wants to enumerate the
changed params. For this is adds a new listener and then triggers the
enumeration. If we set the change_mask to 0 after adding the listener,
the second listener would get a 0 change_mask and fail to update
its state.
Use the caps of the port to set the right flags on the new port.
We only want to put the terminal/physical flags on ports that look
like hardware ports. Port created by clients should not have this
flag.
