The motivation is to have both existing and new streams that have been
created without explicit target node, to be directed to the same devices
at all times. To achieve this:
Consider what find_node returns as the "default node".
Consider streams that auto+reconnect and don't have an explicit target,
as following default. In rescan, if the default node has changed,
relink such streams to the new default.
Remove the old code that explicitly moved streams when the default.*
metadata changed, as it implements a similar thing but in a less robust
way (may fail to do what's intended, because the default device
metadata is commonly unset, or the metadata callback comes before
session_create has seen the new nodes).
Enable this feature based on "policy-node.streams-follow-default"
property. Allow setting the property also by loading the
streams-follow-default module. Enable it by default only for the
with-pulseaudio module group.
Set form factor, name routes based on form factor.
Improve profile names
Make card and node names like pulseaudio, with bt address in them.
Fill in port type in the route info.
Fixes#544
We export a node and get a handle (of type ClientNode). The
session manager then later creates a proxy for the new object. We
can't assume the proxy is created yet when the device emits an
event so check for this.
This is a temporary bandaid. We should likely use get_node() to
create our own proxy for this purpose.
Fixes#552
Remove -e and -d options
Manage modules in media-session.conf
Add alsa-monitor.conf that can match node/device properties with
a regex and update properties on it. All previous configuration and
more cane be done with this.
When a stream is marked don't reconnect, clear the target-node so that
it does not accidentally gets linked to a save target. This makes it
kill the monitor stream from pavucontrol after a client disconnects.
A virtual source is usually implemented with a null-sink, it looks
like a source to pulseaudio clients but just forwards what it gets
as input.
Make sure the port names make sense.
You can use the null sink now as:
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=source object.linger=1
media.class=Audio/Source/Virtual channel_map=FL,FR,RL,RR
This creates a node with "input" and "capture" ports and looks
like a virtual source for pulseaudio clients.
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=source object.linger=1
media.class=Audio/Sink channel_map=FL,FR,RL,RR
This creates a node with "playback" and "monitor" ports and looks
like a virtual sink for pulseaudio clients.
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=source object.linger=1
media.class=Audio/Duplex channel_map=FL,FR,RL,RR
This creates a node with "playback" and "capture" ports and looks
like a virtual source and sink for pulseaudio clients.
