The FFADO source needs to be the driver and the sink the follower so
that captured data can flow to playback without delay.
Instead of starting a new thread for FFADO, use a timer and the data
loop to wait for FFADO. This is not so nice because we do blocking waits
on the data thread but then we can schedule the source and sink without
a context switch from FFADO. We use a timer so that we can set a timeout
period before starting the graph and catch xruns. The timer will be
restarted immediately when the graph completes and we can go back into
the FFADO wait.
FFADO Xrun should result in a new wait() call.
Handle channels better, use AUX for the channels when they don't match
the given positions.
Silence playback when we don't have a sink or sink data.
Stop and start FFADO when the sink/source pause/resume.
PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_NAME=client-rt.conf pw-cli -m load-module
libpipewire-module-ffado-driver '{ ffado.period-size=32 ffado.period-num=2 }
now gives 4.722ms latency measured with jack_iodelay, equal to JACK.
See #3558
JACK current_msec can be in MONOTONIC_RAW or MONOTONIC, depending on how
JACK was compiled (but it's likely MONOTONIC_RAW). PipeWire requires the
nsec field to be in MONOTONIC so take some time snapshots from both
clocks and apply a translation.
Also make sure we only get the nsec time from streams that exist.
See #3886
Make a method to get the current time to compare agains the pw_time-now
field. This is currently CLOCK_MONOTONIC but make this into a method
so that we can more easily change it later.
Make a rtprio-server and rtprio-client option. Leave the server
priority by default to 88 but lower client priority to 83. JACK
does something similar by setting clients to rtprio-server - 5.
Make module-rt use the client priority by default and bump the server
priority explicitly in the config file.
Leave the pulse-server to the default rtprio-client, there is no reason
to lower this any further because it is really just a regular client.
Bump the ffado packetizer thread to rtprio-server + 5 because that is
also what JACK does.
88 is still much higher than the value of 60 that JACK uses in
Fedora but now this is at least configurable.
Remove some includes of private.h
Add some methods to get the mempool of client and context so that we can
remove direct access.
Move some things around.
Use methods to get pw_loop variables.
