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.
Make the thread_loop alloc its own loop by default to simplify
some core. Add extra new_full method to pass a custom pw_loop.
Make other loop implementations ready to support custom loops
if we want that later.
The proxy API is the one that we would like to expose for applications
and the other API is used internally when implementing modules or
factories.
The current pw_core object is really a context for all objects so
name it that way. It also makes it possible to rename pw_core_proxy
to pw_proxy later.
The pw_remote object is really a wrapper around the pw_core_proxy.
The events it emits are also available in the core proxy and are
generally awkward to use.
With some clever new pw_core_proxy_* methods and a pw_core_connect
to create the core_proxy, we can convert all code away from pw_remote.
This is a first step in this conversion, using the pw_remote behind
the scenes. It leaks into some places because it really needs to become
its own struct in a next step.
Pass the client.id that we made this endpoint for in the endpoint
properties. This makes it possible to let pulse find the client
that belongs to the endpiont. The client.id is used to find the
client that actually made the object (the session manager)
pulseaudio card is mapped to device
pulseaudio sink/source is mapped to an endpoint
prepare to map streams to card profiles
Add Route param to implement the endpoint routing later (ports)
Create an alsa endpoint for each device
Create one stream for each endpoint (Playback/Capture)
Implement create_link on the endpoint. The idea is to call
create link on the peer endpoint to complete the link. Remove
create_link on the session.
Add stream-monitor to turn pw_stream nodes into endpoints
Add a policy manager that tries to link endpoints
Use enum pw_direction for the endpoint direction. We can use the
media_class to determine if this is a pw_stream or not but it should
not really matter, you can link any output to any input.
Add autoconnect property for endpoints to make the policy connect.
Remove some of the unused states in pw_stream. The app can know the
state by following the format and buffer events.
Make it possible to be notified of io are updates. This should make it
possible to follow the transport etc.
Make it possible to be notified of any param changes.
Rename finish_format to update_params because that is what it does.
Make this work in the same was as the filter: updating the params
removes all old params of the types and installs the new ones.
Don't get the Props and PropInfo from the node proxy, instead get them
directly from the adapter that we have locally. Update the controls
directly on the adapter instead of going to the server first.
Metadata allows apps to attach properties to objects that can be
read by other apps.
Not complete yet, properties should be removed when the object is
removed.
Remove the parent_id from the global event. Remove the parent
and owner from the global object.
Use properties instead to mark parents and owners of objects.
Properties are easier to control for client exported objects and
usually a simple parent/child is not enough. For example, a client
exported node has the client as a parent but also the factory that
created the node.
Implement per channel volume on channelmix. Extend control on stream to
take an array of values when possible.
Remove name argument from pw_node_new and pw_device_new. We can pass
this as a property instead.
Improve properties on nodes to more closely match what pulseaudio does.
Don't let the monitor do too much with the udev properties but let the
session manager set the description and icon-names.
Remove some change_mask flags for things that don't change in
introspect. Use the flags to mark changes in -cli and -monitor.
Move the epoll functions to the system functions and make the loop
use those. Use simple mask for events instead of enum.
Add the used system api in pw_loop.
Add System API to spa_support and use it where possible.
Pass the system API used in the realtime loops in spa_support as
well and use this in the realtime paths.
Improve bootstrapping, load only the log and cpu interfaces because
those can/need to be shared between instances. Let the core load
the other interfaces.
Add keys to configure the System and Loop implementations used in
pw_loop.
Remove override for resources, it can't work in general.
Rename method to add_object_listener to add a listener for
events/methods from the remote object.
Rename some methods to _call to call the interface and _notify
to notify the listeners.
Remove unused client event to be notified of resource
implementations.
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.
