As part of this, in alsa-udev.c, certain structures and variables referred
to as "device" are renamed to "card". Otherwise, there is ambiguity, since
"device" can mean a udev device, an SPA device, a compress-offload device,
a PCM device etc.
Also, replace "card id" with "card number" to emphasize that these integers
are not actually SPA object IDs.
For backward compatibility with old Wireplumber releases, support the
old api.bluez5.a2dp.sink/source names, and use them in object events
instead of the media.sink/source names.
Move all backends to dynamic libaries loaded with spa_plugin_loader so
new backends not needs changes in pipewire or pipewire dependency to
external code

The Doxygen "Modules" page is not very illuminative, as different parts
of the API are mixed together and not all parts are included.
Try to address this:
Put all parts of the public API to some Doxygen group, usually one group
per header file. Use short, systematic names.
Make these groups sub-groups of a few top-level groups, roughly
corresponding to the different logical parts of the API (core, impl,
stream, filter, spa, utilities).
Change codec factory names to api.codec.bluez5.*, so that they won't
conflict with old config file lib name rules for api.bluez5.*
Specify the fallback library name when loading the codecs, so that it
works without the rules in config files.
Make easier to package A2DP codecs separately, by splitting each to a
separate SPA plugin. Adjust the code to not use a global variable for
the codec list.
The A2DP SPA interface API is in the bluez5 private headers, and not
exposed in installed SPA headers, as it's too close to the
implementation.
Subdirectories buffer, control, debug, monitor, pod, support and utils, others
are still missing. Headers are grouped either per subdirectory (e.g. buffer/
gets added to group spa_buffer) or per-file (e.g. spa_json is a separate
group), whatever seemed like the most sensible approach.
libacp is a port and wrapper around the pulseaudio card profile code.
It uses a set of templates for construct a card profile and mixer port
settings. It also has support for UCM when available for the hardware.
Move floatmix to the audiomixer plugin and change the name to
AUDIO_MIXER_DSP.
Add runtime selectable sse and sse2 optimizations.
Load the port mixer plugin dynamically based on the factory_name.
Add some more debug
Remove the monitor API, we can use the device API for it. Make sure
we support creating devices (like alsa) from another device (udev).
Use new object.id to store the object id in the object properties. Use
the port.id/node.id etc to make relations to other objects.
Makes a device with a source and sink that automatically
proxies all physical ports from jack. Jack then drives our
PipeWire pipeline from its own thread.
Define a set of standard factory names and document what they
contain. This makes it possible to change the implementation by
mapping the factory-name to a different shared library.
