It's not used anymore because it does work so well.
The problem is that while it transparently proxies param enums on
ports to peers, it fails to emit events when those peer
params change in a way that would make the enum result change as well.
This makes it quite hard to use this correctly.
Instead of doing (cycle+1) & 1 for output ports, simply swap the io
areas depending on the port direction (0 = input, 1 = output) and
just to cycle&1 for all ports.
When node.async is set, make the node async.
Advertize SPA_IO_AsyncBuffers on mixer ports when supported. Set a new
port flag when AsyncBuffer is supported on the port.
When making a link and if one of the nodes is async and the linked ports
support AsyncBuffer, make the link async and set this as a property on
the link. For async nodes we will use SPA_IO_AsyncBuffers on the mixer
ports.
Nodes that are async will not increment the peer required counters. This
ensures that the peer can start immediately before the async node is
ready.
On an async link, writers will write to the (cycle+1 & 1) async buffers
entry and readers will read from (cycle & 1). This makes the readers read
from the previously filled area.
We need to have two very controlled areas with specific rules for who
reads and who writes where because the two nodes will run concurrently
and no special synchronization is possible otherwise.
These async nodes can be paused and blocked without blocking or xrunning
the rest of graph. If the node didn't produce anything when the next
cycle starts, the graph will run with silence.
See #3509
This is to iterate params that are common to all ports, such as
EnumFormat or the supported IO areas. Mostly interesting for mixer and
splitter nodes so that we don't have to create a new port just to query
things.
port_set_io with SPA_IO_Buffer can be used to enable/disable a port
when the node is running and so the node should make sure the io update
is synchronized with the processing loop.
Use spa_loop_invoke to make sure the mixers handle the port_io updates
correctly.
Setting buffers or a format also needs the port to be disabled so add
some checks for this in the mixers.
Add an EMPTY chunk flag to mark a piece of memory as 'empty'. For audio
this means silence.
Use the empty flag to avoid mixing 0 samples.
Set the empty flag in output buffers on audioconvert.
pipewire will allocate buffers aligned to the max alignment required for
the CPU. Take this into account and don't expect larger alignment.
Fixes a warning in mixer-dsp when the CPU max alignment is 16 but the
plugin requires 32 bytes alignment for the AVX2 path (that would never
be chosen on the CPU).
See #2074
Parse the quantum_limit parameters and use this to scale the buffers so
that they can contain the maximum allowed samples instead of the
hardcoded 8192 value.
See #1931
Make the alignment parameter optional when negotiating buffers.
Default to a 16 bytes alignment and adjust for the max cpu
alignment.
Remove the useless align buffer parameter in plugins, we always
set it to 16 anyway.
When we add a new listener to an object, it will emit the full state
of the object. For this it temporarily sets the change_mask to all
changes. Restore the previous state after this or else we might not
emit the right change_mask for the next listener.
Consider the case where one there are two listeners on an object.
The object emits a change and the first listener wants to enumerate the
changed params. For this is adds a new listener and then triggers the
enumeration. If we set the change_mask to 0 after adding the listener,
the second listener would get a 0 change_mask and fail to update
its state.
SPA_MEMBER is misleading, all we're doing here is pointer+offset and a
type-casting the result. Rename to SPA_PTROFF which is more expressive (and
has the same number of characters so we don't need to re-indent).
This is more in line with wayland and it allows us to create new
interfaces in modules without having to add anything to the type
enum. It also removes some lookups to map type_id to readable
name in debug.
Move floatmix to the audiomixer plugin and change the name to
AUDIO_MIXER_DSP.
Add runtime selectable sse and sse2 optimizations.
Load the port mixer plugin dynamically based on the factory_name.
Add some more debug
Add a new PortConfig parameter to configure ports of elements that
are marked with the SPA_NODE_FLAG_*_PORT_CONFIG. This is used to
configure the operation of the audioconver/audioadapter nodes and
how it should convert the internal format. We want to use the
Profile parameter only for cases where there is an enumeration of
values, like with device configuration.
Add unit tests for audioconvert and adapter to check if they handle
PortConfig correctly.
Make the media session use the PortConfig to dynamically configure
the device nodes.
Remove audio-dsp, it is not used anymore and can/should be implemented
with a simple audioconvert spa node now and some PortConfig.
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.
The interface struct has the type,version and methods of the
interface.
Make spa interfaces extend from spa_interface and make a
separate structure for the methods.
Pass a generic void* as the first argument of methods, like
we don in PipeWire.
Bundle the methods + implementation in a versioned inteface
and use that to invoke methods. This way we can do version
checks on the methods.
Make resource and proxy interfaces that we can can call. We
can then make the core interfaces independent on proxy/resource and
hide them in the lower layers.
Add add_listener method to methods of core interfaces, just
like SPA.
Make struct spa_node_events for events emited from the main thread
and keep the spa_node_callbacks for the data thread callbacks.
The add_listener method installs the events and it's possible to
install multiple handles. Adding a listener first emits the info
and port_info events when installed, similar to how the PipeWire
proxy bind works.
This removes the need for the spa_pending_queue and makes it easier
to implement the _sync versions.
Add some helpers to make it easier for plugins to emit all the info
to new listeners.
Use the listeners for devices as well.
Add a new struct spa_param_info that lists the available params on
a node/port and if they are readable/writable/updated. We can use
this to replace and improve the PARAM_List and also to notify
property change and updates.
Update elements and code to deal with this new param stuff. Add
port and node info to most elements and signal changes.
Use async enum_params in -inspect and use the param info to know
which ones to enumerate.
Use the port info to know what parameters to update in the
remote-node.
