Add save property to Profile and Route params to notify the session
manager that they should be saved. Let the session manager only save
the Profile and Routes with the save flag.
Make pulse-server set the save flag on Profile and Route changes.
The result is that we can make a difference between user requested
changes and automatical changes and only remember the user preferences.
When a port changes availability, first check if we need to perform
a profile switch, if not select the new best port.
Add the list of possible ports for a device.
Pass the allowed devices in the routes.
Store the active port in the device.
Fixes enumeration of ports on devices with UCM.
The dataType parameter is a bitmask of allowed data types for the
buffer memory. Make the mask by or-ing all (1 << enum spa_data_type)
you accept/produce.
The this field can be used by apps who keep a copy of the
spa_param_info. They can use it, for example, to keep a counter
with the amount of changes since last processed.
pulseaudio card is mapped to device
pulseaudio sink/source is mapped to an endpoint
prepare to map streams to card profiles
Add Route param to implement the endpoint routing later (ports)
Create an alsa endpoint for each device
Create one stream for each endpoint (Playback/Capture)
Implement create_link on the endpoint. The idea is to call
create link on the peer endpoint to complete the link. Remove
create_link on the session.
Add stream-monitor to turn pw_stream nodes into endpoints
Add a policy manager that tries to link endpoints
Use enum pw_direction for the endpoint direction. We can use the
media_class to determine if this is a pw_stream or not but it should
not really matter, you can link any output to any input.
Add autoconnect property for endpoints to make the policy connect.
Add a new PortConfig parameter to configure ports of elements that
are marked with the SPA_NODE_FLAG_*_PORT_CONFIG. This is used to
configure the operation of the audioconver/audioadapter nodes and
how it should convert the internal format. We want to use the
Profile parameter only for cases where there is an enumeration of
values, like with device configuration.
Add unit tests for audioconvert and adapter to check if they handle
PortConfig correctly.
Make the media session use the PortConfig to dynamically configure
the device nodes.
Remove audio-dsp, it is not used anymore and can/should be implemented
with a simple audioconvert spa node now and some PortConfig.
Add a new struct spa_param_info that lists the available params on
a node/port and if they are readable/writable/updated. We can use
this to replace and improve the PARAM_List and also to notify
property change and updates.
Update elements and code to deal with this new param stuff. Add
port and node info to most elements and signal changes.
Use async enum_params in -inspect and use the param info to know
which ones to enumerate.
Use the port info to know what parameters to update in the
remote-node.
Make a profile param that can be used to configure a node with a
certain profile.
Use the profile to configure the ports on splitter and merger and
get rid of the dynamic ports.
Use the profile to configure the client-node and audio-dsp.
Don't try to link more ports than available between client-node and
dsp.
spa_io_control_range -> spa_io_range
Add helpers for sequence and control pod objects
Implement control properties in audiotestsrc, update test example.
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.
Make a new PropInfo parameter that allows us to iterate all
properties. Make some new fields to set labels and names for
properties. We will be able to add more things to describe the
properties this way.
Use the Props param to simply query or set properties.
We can now make int enum properties and describe all possible
values with labels, we don't need to register types anymore.
This then makes it possible to enumerate the v4l2 controls and make
them available as control params.
Reorganize the io parameter ids and objects. Make separate enumerations
for buffer, control, input and output properties.
Add a volume output property to export-source. This is still unused
but will eventually be routed to a PropsIn io area where it can
control the volume of a mixer, for example.
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.
