Add Profiler object and fields.
Add profiler extension API. It notifies Profiler objects with
real-time performance data.
Add module that implements the profiler extension.
Add pw-profiler tool that binds to the profiler API and dumps the
data into a log file, gnuplot files, a html page and a script to
generate svg graphs. This is almost the same as what JACK2
JackEngineProfiling does.
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.
Make a new API to hide some the implementation of eventfd, timerfd
and signalfd along with clock and read/write/ioctl/close functions.
We would like to have plugins use the abstractions so that we
can switch them to something else when needed.
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.
Make it possible to configure multiple io areas on a port by giving
an id to set_io.
Add some types to enumerate the supported ids
Make an area to exchange buffers and one to specify pull ranges.
The idea is to make more area types for controlable properties.
Implement enumeration of IO areas in volume.
Make enum_params and set_param to configure properties, format
and other parameters. This allows us to remove some duplicate
code and make the properties and parameters much more extensible.
Use the object id to mark the id of the parameter.
Remove the spa_format and spa_props.
We can now make the client-node easier by merging the various
format methods into the params.
Make the stream API more powerful now that we can pass params
around.
When compiling some application and include spa/loop.h, it needs hook.h,
so install it.

Make allocparams into pod objects. This makes it easy to serialize,
copy, create and intersect them.
Add convenience macros for properties
Add helper function to collect object properties.
POD (plain old data) objects are similar to LV2 Atoms and allows storage
and construction of datastructures in memory or on the stack. They can
be copied with a simple memcpy.
The idea is to use this to construct the network messages and to replace
the structures used for describing formats and properties.
Move send and dispatch functions to the implementation. This makes it
possible to place an access check before sending and dispatching.
Add module-access that allows to bind and notify on globals owned by
the client.
