This allows picking F32LE as the default format on links that have
no restriction and it avoids failing negotiation when the restricted
end cannot handle S16/F32/F32P
For instance this pipeline would previously fail:
audio-dsp mode=merge ! audio-dsp mode=convert ! alsa-sink
old negotiation: S16LE S24_32LE
new negotiation: F32LE S24_32LE
The link between the audio-dsp nodes has no restriction, so previously
it would negotiate S16LE, which would then fail to negotiate with alsa-sink
because fmtconvert does not know how to convert S16LE to S24_32LE directly.
With this change, the middle link negotiates to F32LE, which can be
converted to anything.
Remove the node buffers reply again. We don't need it. Instead add a
new method to the client-node to upload an array of buffer datas.
This method is called after the client has allocated buffer mem. It
will update the buffers on the server side with the client allocated
memory.
Wait for the async reply of use_buffers when doing alloc_buffers so
that we can get the updated buffer mem before we continue.
Let the link follow the states of the ports.
Add some error code to the port error states.
Add PW_STREAM_FLAG_ALLOC_BUFFERS flag to make the client alloc buffer
memory.
Remove the CAN_USE_BUFFERS flag, it is redundant. We can know this
because of the IO params and buffer params.
Add flags to the port_use_buffer call. We also want this call to
replace port_alloc_buffer. Together with a new result event we can
ask the node to (a)synchronously fill up the buffer data for us. This
is part of a plan to let remote nodes provide buffer data.
Add a tag field when creating a memmap so that we can do lookup on it.
This makes it easier to implement the tracking of mappings for io areas.
Remove custom io memory tracking and use the tags.
Add flags to spa_chunk to make data corrupted. The flags on the buffer
stay constant for the life of the buffer. Add flags to mark memory
readable and writable. Mark memory readonly in v4l2-source.
Pass the daemon activation area to the client in the transport event.
This never changes and need to be handled differently from the other
activation areas.
Use the right flags when importing memory.
Add the (desired) memory type to mempool_alloc.
improve some debug.
Track memory on buffers in the server and simplify some memory tracking
on the client.
Don't send internal memblock flags to client.
Add read/write flags to memblock.
Add a memory pool to manage blocks of memory. Make it possible
to allocate and import blocks.
Add add_mem and remove_mem to the core events to signal a client
of a block of memory. Remove the client-node add_mem.
Make a global pool for memory and a per client pool where we
import and share the memory we need with the client.
Use the new memory pool to track and map memory in clients.
Use an adapter instead of the client-stream. This means we run
the audioconverters and resamplers in the client instead of the
pipewire daemon. It also allows us to implement the audio mixing
correctly in the capture client.
The only pending piece is that we now wake up the client with the
period of the server. Maybe we can later optimize that and
accumulate/split buffers before waking the client.
This probably needs fixing with video..
