## 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

uint32_t priority
uint32_t available
uint8_t direction

uint32_t n_profiles

Bump the native protocol version The previous AAC pass-through patch (commit: 53807e4a) introduced a new encoding format type: PA_ENCODING_MPEG2_AAC_IEC61937, which is mostly used in pa_format_info, but forgot to increment the protocol version number. The version needs to be incremented, because clients need some way of checking whether the server supports the new encoding.

#### 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.
