For flatpaks we need to be able to support older v0 protocol clients.
To handle this we have:
- the connection detects an old client when it receives the first
message. It can do this by checking the sequence number, on old
versions it contains the message size and is never 0, on new
clients the sequence number is 0.
- We add a new signal at the start of the connection with the detected
version number. This installs the right version of the core proxy.
We also move the binding of the client until the hello message is
received. This way we can have a new client connect (portal),
hand over the connection to an old client, which then removes the
client binding again in the hello request with a v0 version.
There are some changes to the passing of fds in v0 vs v3 which need
to investigated some more.
- bump version of our interfaces to 3. This makes it possible to
have v0 and v3 protocol marshal functions.
- Add version number in the proxy. This is mostly automatically done
internally based on the version numbers the library is compiled
with. Where the version number was in the API before, it is now
actually used to look up the right protocol marshal functions. For
Proxies there is usually just 1 version, the current one. It is the
server that will support different versions.
- Add v0 compat marshal functions to convert from and to v0 format.
This has some complications. v0 has a type map it keeps in sync
with the server. For this we have a static type map with mappings
to our own v3 types. Pods are mostly the same except for objects
that used to have arbitrary pods in v0 vs spa_pod_prop in v3. Also
convert between v0 spa_pod_prop and v3 spa_pod_choice.
Formats and commands are also slightly different so handle those
mappings as well.
We only have marshal functions for the server side (resource)
v0 functions.
- Add v0 compatible client-node again. It's a bit tricky to map, v0
client-node basically lets the server to the mixing and teeing
and just does the processing of the internal node.
When the port receives a format, look if we can find a mixer for it
and configure it.
Use the float32 mono mixer when possible.
Use the new pw_buffers in the link.
Let the port allocate buffers between the mixer and node when
requested.
The client-node doesn't need a mixer because mixing is done on the
client.
Remove all mixer and buffer negotiation code from adapter because
it is now done at the port level.
Reorganize some things, let the clients update the segment info
in their own activation, then let the server merge it. This avoids
clients stepping on eachother. When looping through the clients,
copy the segment info when we encounter its owner.
Remove the list of segment owners to the activation. This is better
than in the activation because we can then just keep one list of
owners.
Remove the NONBLOCK flag from the eventfd so that we can do blocking
reads as well.
Just keep a reposition owner in the driver activation. This points
to the node that has the reposition info. This avoid complicated
synchronization to keep multiple nodes from stepping on eachother.
Now they can just prepare the reposition info in their activation and
set themselves as the reposition owner. The last one who succeeds
wins.
Move fields from the io_position to io_segment. The segment contains
the mapping between raw clock time and stream time in various
formats. We keep an array of pending segments available in the
io_position field so clients can anticipate changes.
Make looping a flag in the segment instead of a state.
Prepare for segment masters. These will be registered clients that
are responsible for updating parts of the extended segment info.
Add namespace to some defines.
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.
Keep the output port buffers in a special mix info. They should
stay there even when the mix is removed and should only be cleared
explicitly with a NULL Format or 0 use_buffers.
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.
Don't free the buffers when the mix is released, this will happen
when nothing is using them anymore with port_use_buffers later.
Mark a mixer as having buffers when the output port has buffers.
Don't set buffers on a mixer port that already has buffers.
Remove the node buffers reply again. We don't need it. Instead add a
new method to the client-node to upload an array of buffer datas.
This method is called after the client has allocated buffer mem. It
will update the buffers on the server side with the client allocated
memory.
Wait for the async reply of use_buffers when doing alloc_buffers so
that we can get the updated buffer mem before we continue.
Let the link follow the states of the ports.
Add some error code to the port error states.
Add PW_STREAM_FLAG_ALLOC_BUFFERS flag to make the client alloc buffer
memory.
Remove the CAN_USE_BUFFERS flag, it is redundant. We can know this
because of the IO params and buffer params.
Add flags to the port_use_buffer call. We also want this call to
replace port_alloc_buffer. Together with a new result event we can
ask the node to (a)synchronously fill up the buffer data for us. This
is part of a plan to let remote nodes provide buffer data.
Add a tag field when creating a memmap so that we can do lookup on it.
This makes it easier to implement the tracking of mappings for io areas.
Remove custom io memory tracking and use the tags.
Add flags to spa_chunk to make data corrupted. The flags on the buffer
stay constant for the life of the buffer. Add flags to mark memory
readable and writable. Mark memory readonly in v4l2-source.
Pass the daemon activation area to the client in the transport event.
This never changes and need to be handled differently from the other
activation areas.
Use the right flags when importing memory.
Add the (desired) memory type to mempool_alloc.
improve some debug.
Track memory on buffers in the server and simplify some memory tracking
on the client.
Don't send internal memblock flags to client.
Add read/write flags to memblock.
Add a memory pool to manage blocks of memory. Make it possible
to allocate and import blocks.
Add add_mem and remove_mem to the core events to signal a client
of a block of memory. Remove the client-node add_mem.
Make a global pool for memory and a per client pool where we
import and share the memory we need with the client.
Use the new memory pool to track and map memory in clients.
Use an adapter instead of the client-stream. This means we run
the audioconverters and resamplers in the client instead of the
pipewire daemon. It also allows us to implement the audio mixing
correctly in the capture client.
The only pending piece is that we now wake up the client with the
period of the server. Maybe we can later optimize that and
accumulate/split buffers before waking the client.
This probably needs fixing with video..
