Implement "early requests" mode. PA_STREAM_EARLY_REQUESTS is a new flag that will modify buffering metric selection behaviour a bit. This code is good for broken ALSA/OSS clients that ignore 'readability' on the fds in question and schedule audio via usleep() instead.

## v19, implemented by >= 0.9.22
Allow read-only or non-existing sink input volume. There are two known cases where read-only or non-existing sink input volume is relevant: passthrough streams and the planned volume sharing logic. Passthrough streams don't have volume at all, and the volume sharing logic requires read-only sink input volume. This commit is primarily working towards the volume sharing feature, but support for non-existing sink input volume is also added, because it is so closely related to read-only volume. Some unrelated refactoring in iface-stream.c creeped into this commit too (new function: stream_to_string()).

## v20, implemented by >= 1.0
Two new flags at the end of sink input introspection data:
bool has_volume
sink-input: Add volume_writable to pa_sink_input. This is pretty cosmetic change; there's no actual functionality added. Previously the volume_writable information was available through the pa_sink_input_is_volume_writable() function, but I find it cleaner to have a real variable. The sink input introspection variable name was also changed from read_only_volume to volume_writable for consistency.
2011-03-27 23:00:26 +03:00
bool volume_writable
core: Add extended stream API to support compressed formats This is the beginning of work to support compressed formats natively in PulseAudio. This adds a pa_stream_new_extended() that takes a format structure, sends it to the server (=> protocol extension) and has the server negotiate with the appropropriate sink to figure out what format it should use. This is work in progress, and works only with PCM streams. Actual compressed format support in some sink needs to be implemented, and extensive testing is required. More details on how this is supposed to work is available at: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PassthroughSupport
2011-02-28 13:23:23 +05:30

capture: Add the passthrough format negotiation to capture streams. This helps to keep the API more symmetrical and also potentially allows support for passthrough monitor sources at some point in the future.

## v23, implemented by >= 1.0
New field in PA_COMMAND_UNDERFLOW:
int64_t index
Remind people not to break module-tunnel
2011-08-15 15:19:10 +05:30
Introduce "available" concept for ports, and communicate that to clients. Bump protocol version to 24. Note: There is still no notification when status availability changes. Signed-off-by: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com>
2011-11-25 15:17:11 +01:00
## v24, implemented by >= 2.0
New field in all commands that send/receive port introspection data
(PA_COMMAND_GET_(SOURCE|SINK)_OUTPUT_INFO,
PA_COMMAND_GET_(SOURCE|SINK)_OUTPUT_INFO_LIST):
uint32_t available
The field is added once for every port.
Notify port available status changes, and update protocol version The recommended way of setting available status is to call pa_device_port_set_available, which will send a subscription event to the relevant card. It will also fire a hook. Signed-off-by: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com>

owning card.

#### If you just changed the protocol, read this
## module-tunnel depends on the sink/source/sink-input/source-input protocol
## internals, so if you changed these, you might have broken module-tunnel.
## Don't forget to test module-tunnel-{source,sink} when pushing protocol
## changes.
