Like the location, the orientation is a static property of libcamera
devices. While the rotation is already exposed as buffer transform,
knowing the property can be handy for applications in various ways.

This adds an api.alsa.bind-ctls property to alsa-pcm sink and source
nodes, to bind a property to an ALSA PCM ctl. The property is an array
of ctl names that should be bound.
This can be handy, for example, to bind the Playback/Capture Rate
controls on a USB gadget, in order to track the PCM's state via a node
param.
This is currently wired to be read-only, but it should be easy enough to
make it writable.
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).
Use _alibpref to check if a device needs a UCM local config. Mark
the device as such and use this to set the OPEN_UCM property on
the device.
Open the UCM for a card when the device has the property set. Use the
same logic for loading the UCM as the acp code.
See #1251
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.
Move the icon we get from bluez to a separate property, it is not
a good icon to show.
Copy form factor from device to node properties.
Set device.bus in the device properties and copy it to the node
properties.
Use form factor and bus to make a nice icon-name for the node and
device.
Fixes#1064
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
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.
