Do not use dynamic types anymore. The reason is that it's difficult:
- to maintain a shared type database over a network.
- the extra overhead when translating between processes and for
maintaining the translation tables.
- race conditions in translating in RT-threads, this is a problem
because we want to make event streams.
We now have simple enums with types and extension points for all
types. This is also nicer to use in general.
We don't need the mapper anymore or pass strings around as types.
There is a parallel type info system to get more info about ids and
enums and their hierarchy. It can also be used for debugging.
Pass the minimum required version to the hook emission and only call
events when the handler is recent enough.
Add some macros to make event emission easier to read.
Remove the per-port memory and only use per-node memory. This will
make it possible to share memory between ports in the future.
Keep refs to memory on the buffers and free (close) the memory
when no longer used.
Do not send the offset and size in the add_mem call, just send the
fd and the flags. The area that we need to map from this to find the
meta, chunk and data are sent in a separate call. This should make
it possible to truncate the memory to a larger size to dynamically
allocate more shared memory for a client.
Remove the Id data type, it's not needed.
Don't automatically map memory in remote.c
Pass the original memory type from server to client.
Handle DmaBuf mem in video-play now that the server passed it on.
Add control objects for all controllable properties on ports.
Try to link compatible control properties in autolink.
Allocate shared memory for the output property memory and configure
the io area on the ports when the controls are linked.
Send the shared memfd to clients when the io area is configured.
Add port_set_io support in remote.c, mmap the control io area and
set on the port.
Add some param helpers
Add volume control to export-source update the volume before
sending each buffer.
Add an argument to pass the result param to the caller instead of
having the caller have to pick it up from the builder.
Improve docs for node, clock and monitor
Pass spa_pod everywhere instead of spa_pod_object.
Pass result argument to spa_pod_filter to make things a little
nicer.
Make enum_params and set_param to configure properties, format
and other parameters. This allows us to remove some duplicate
code and make the properties and parameters much more extensible.
Use the object id to mark the id of the parameter.
Remove the spa_format and spa_props.
We can now make the client-node easier by merging the various
format methods into the params.
Make the stream API more powerful now that we can pass params
around.
Remove signals.
Rename callbacks -> events, use listeners to listen for events.
Callbacks are still used in spa for things you can listen to only
once.
Fix docs
Add some more versions to interfaces
Make types for the various proxy object + inline methods that does type
checking and create proxys etc.
Set owner client of client-nodes in the properties
Pass type to bind to in create-node
Don't place global id in the info structs
Improve registration of marshal functions
Pass more types around as ids
Add hooks that contain protocol specific interfaces that can be used
to extend the protocol. This makes it possible to add new interfaces
to the protocol and implement the protocol specific data transport.
Move these protocol specific extension to the extensions directory.
