Add a new features property to the metadata param. This should be
of type CHOICE_FEATURES_Int and should contain the extra features
supported by this metadata.
Make a special features metadata type that is a combination of the
metadata type in the upper 16 bits and the features for that type in the
lower 16 bits. Make a function to search if a type has certain feature
bits.
On the server, when negotiating buffers and metadata, check the result
of the features after filtering and if they are not 0, place them as
0 sized extra feature metadata on the buffer.
Add some metadata features for the sync_timeline, one that specifies
that the RELEASE flag is supported. With this in place, a producer can
see if a consumer supports the UNSCHEDULED_RELEASE flag.
See #4885
Including C headers inside of `extern "C"` breaks use from C++. Hoist
the includes of standard C headers above the block so we don't try
to mangle the stdlib.
I initially tried to scope this with a targeted change but it's too
hard to do correctly that way. This way, we avoid whack-a-mole.
Firefox is working around this in their e21461b7b8b39cc31ba53c47d4f6f310c673ff2f

Change the GenericFd data type to SyncObj. It's probably better to
explicitly state the data type than to make something generic. Otherwise
we would need to transfer the specific fd type somewhere else and there
is no room for that in the buffer and the the metadata is not a good idea
either because it can be modified and corrupted at runtime.
Add the SyncTimeline metadata. This contains 2 points on two timelines
(SyncObj datas in the buffer). The buffer can be accessed when the
acquire_point is signaled on the timeline and when the buffer
can be released, the release_point on the timeline should be signaled.
Add a SPA_PARAM_BUFFERS_metaType in the Buffers object. This contains a
bitmask of the mandatory metadata items that should be included on a
buffer when using this Buffers param.
Make the buffer allocation logic skip over the Buffers params that
require unavailable metadata.
This can be used to, for example, enforce specific metadata to describe
extra buffer memory (such as the meaning of generic file descriptors).
One such use is the explicit sync, where an extra buffer data is needed
for the sync fd along with metadata that contains the sync_point.
Split files into separate files.
Move type annotations to a matching -types.h files.
Move helpers to matching -utils.h files.
Add helpers to parse generic audio and video info.
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.
