Only allow properties inside objects, this makes it easier to
iterate the object, which is needed for efficiently processing
control streams.
Add a choice type to mark variable properties.
SPA_TYPE_Enum -> SPA_TYPE_Id to avoid confusion with choice enum
Make it easier to allocate and initialize properties on the stack
Make more efficient methods to make objects.
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.
Add an argument to pass the result param to the caller instead of
having the caller have to pick it up from the builder.
Improve docs for node, clock and monitor
Pass spa_pod everywhere instead of spa_pod_object.
Pass result argument to spa_pod_filter to make things a little
nicer.
Remove the frame argument from the builder, we can use the builder
allocated frames.
Add deref function to builder to make it more flexible later.
Add some more recursion depth checks in the parser.
Improve props filter, also filter other types.
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.
Make a default logger and mapper in a .h file to be used by examples
Remove logger and mapper from libs
Make method to set the default mapper for the debug methods
Use a POD for the format body. This allows us to more easily build
and copy the formats.
Remove obsolete code to make video and audio formats.
Use SpaVideo/AudioInfo to keep track of formats. Make functions to parse
the format into the structures.
Update plugins
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.
