spa_io_control_range -> spa_io_range
Add helpers for sequence and control pod objects
Implement control properties in audiotestsrc, update test example.
SPA_ID_* -> SPA_TYPE_*. We use 'type' for all registered types.
ID refers to either a registered type or an enum.
Improve introspection of object ids. Make 0 an invalid enum and
use it to look up the object id type.
Move some type-info files together.
Swap type and id of the object, we first specify the type and then
the id because the meaning of the id depends on the object type.
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.
Keep track of queued data in the stream
Pass delay field around to make it possible to know about the raw
software read/write pointer and the hardware one.
Start stream position at 0
Make explicit links between elements that are used to activate the
next element in the graph.
Make subgraphs a special regular node. Make a link from the
subgraph children to the parent so that the subgraph completes when
all the children completed.
Implement a single process function in plugins
Remove many messages in the client node
Don't unlink the ports of an inactive link because then it might be
possible that the scheduler can't recycle a buffer, instead use
a port flag to mark the ports disabled and change to scheduler to
skip those ports.
Make a new PropInfo parameter that allows us to iterate all
properties. Make some new fields to set labels and names for
properties. We will be able to add more things to describe the
properties this way.
Use the Props param to simply query or set properties.
We can now make int enum properties and describe all possible
values with labels, we don't need to register types anymore.
This then makes it possible to enumerate the v4l2 controls and make
them available as control params.
Add control objects for all controllable properties on ports.
Try to link compatible control properties in autolink.
Allocate shared memory for the output property memory and configure
the io area on the ports when the controls are linked.
Send the shared memfd to clients when the io area is configured.
Add port_set_io support in remote.c, mmap the control io area and
set on the port.
Add some param helpers
Add volume control to export-source update the volume before
sending each buffer.
