Add spa_json_begin_array/object to replace
spa_json_init+spa_json_begin_array/object
This function is better because it does not waste a useless spa_json
structure as an iterator. The relaxed versions also error out when the
container is mismatched because parsing a mismatched container is not
going to give any results anyway.
The IO_Buffers is used in the data thread to check if the port should be
scheduled or not. Make sure it is only set after we set buffers on the
port and cleared before the buffers are cleared.
Make sure we sync the port->io with the data thread.
See #4094
Can be used to group ports together. Mostly because they are all from
the same stream and split into multiple ports by audioconvert/adapter.
Also useful for the alsa sequence to group client ports together.
Also interesting when pw-filter would be able to handle streams in the
future to find out what ports belong to what streams.
Add a monitor.passthrough option. This will pass all latency information
directly between the port and its monitor ports.
This is interesting when the adapter (and audioconvert) is used with a
null-audio-sink that simply forwards the data to a real sink/souce. In
that case, we want the sink/source latency to be passed unmodified.
Set the monitor.passthrough on the pulseaudio null-sink because
a passthrough virtual sink is the most likely use case for this.
Add some monitor.passthrough default config where it makes sense.

Keep track of the valid ports and don't emit port info for
invalid ports. When a listener is added while the ports are being
created, it is possible that the ports are still NULL or invalid.
When starting the converter, calculate the initial size needed by
the resampler to fill one quantum.
This makes it possible to get the requested amount of samples before
the first process call is made.
Don't try to allocate each time port buffers are set but only once
before we start procesing.
Also allocate enough temp buffers are there are ports. This saves us
quite a bit of memory in the normal case.
Don't just forward the tag and latency events to the follower but let
the audioconvert aggregate and emit the updated tag/latency event
that is then configured on the follower.
When using the DSP mode of the audioconvert, this results in an
accumulated latency/tag from all the DSP ports instead of just
the last DSP port param update.
Put properties with media. prefix in tags in pw-cat.
The tag param has a list of arbitrary key/value pairs. Like the Latency
param, it travels up and downstream. Mixers will append the info
dictionaries or do some more fancy merging.
The purpose is to transport arbirary metadata, out-of-band, through the
graph and it's used for stream metadata and other stream properties.
Add port.ignore-latency prop, which if true causes peer ports to ignore
the latency of the given port.
This is useful for ports that are not intended to affect latency
calculations of other ports, such as ports in monitor streams.
When we're using the peaks resampler, allow resampling, even when it is
disabled in the config.
The peaks resampler is just for GUI and would not really change the
signal, so we can allow this.
But instead ship config override files to enable it again.
The idea is that distros can make extra packages that can than be
installed to enable the upmixing.
Also ship a config file to enable more samplerates.
Fixes#3081
