Make special format types for planar and interleaved instead of
having a field.
Add enum for audio channel positions
Add some default audio channel layouts
Place the channel layout in the audio format when possible
alsa: place audio channel positions in format
Add sse optimized channel mixing for some common cases
Remove name from port info, it's not mandatory and in the properties
Add direction to port info
Only allow properties inside objects, this makes it easier to
iterate the object, which is needed for efficiently processing
control streams.
Add a choice type to mark variable properties.
SPA_TYPE_Enum -> SPA_TYPE_Id to avoid confusion with choice enum
Make it easier to allocate and initialize properties on the stack
Make more efficient methods to make objects.
SPA_ID_* -> SPA_TYPE_*. We use 'type' for all registered types.
ID refers to either a registered type or an enum.
Improve introspection of object ids. Make 0 an invalid enum and
use it to look up the object id type.
Move some type-info files together.
Swap type and id of the object, we first specify the type and then
the id because the meaning of the id depends on the object type.
Param ids and IO ids are now simple enums.
Move some type info in one place, delete some type-info files
Fix type debug
Make audio layout an enum
Mark more enums as enums in types so they show us with their names in
the debug.
Do not use dynamic types anymore. The reason is that it's difficult:
- to maintain a shared type database over a network.
- the extra overhead when translating between processes and for
maintaining the translation tables.
- race conditions in translating in RT-threads, this is a problem
because we want to make event streams.
We now have simple enums with types and extension points for all
types. This is also nicer to use in general.
We don't need the mapper anymore or pass strings around as types.
There is a parallel type info system to get more info about ids and
enums and their hierarchy. It can also be used for debugging.
Keep track of queued data in the stream
Pass delay field around to make it possible to know about the raw
software read/write pointer and the hardware one.
Start stream position at 0
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
Don't unlink the ports of an inactive link because then it might be
possible that the scheduler can't recycle a buffer, instead use
a port flag to mark the ports disabled and change to scheduler to
skip those ports.
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.
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.
