This commit adds very basic node objects to the core. This is just
a starting point, the nodes don't do anything useful yet.
A node represents a "routing endpoint" - the purpose is to make
routing easier. There are input nodes and output nodes, which can be
connected together. Generally speaking, sources and sink inputs map to
input nodes and sinks and source outputs map to output nodes. The
nodes form a new logical routing layer, which is an addition, not
replacement, to the current "low level" layer of sinks, sink inputs
and so on.
One goal is to be able to easily route any input to any output. For
example, with the node interface it should be easy to route a source
to a sink, without needing to care about the details, such as setting
up module-loopback. Routing sink inputs to source outputs should be
possible too, perhaps causing a null sink to be created between the
streams.
Another goal is to support new kinds of routing endpoints
that are not well suited to be implemented as sinks, sources or
streams. One example would be audio paths that exist in hardware only
(like cellular audio in many phone designs) that still have some
routing options. Another example would be a "gateway node" that makes
streams go to a remote PulseAudio as separate streams. The gateway
node implementation could dynamically create private tunnel sinks for
each stream.
In this first version the nodes have very few attributes, but the
intention is to add as much attributes as necessary for routing policy
modules to make good automatic routing decisions.
This patch is based on work by Janos Kovacs.
Since the hashmap stores a pointer to the key provided at pa_hashmap_put()
time, it make sense to allow the hashmap to be given ownership of the key and
have it free it at pa_hashmap_remove/free time.
To do this cleanly, we now provide the key and value free functions at hashmap
creation time with a pa_hashmap_new_full. With this, we do away with the free
function that was provided at remove/free time for freeing the value.
This consumes less power, has low (no?) perceivable difference, and
allows the default configuration to work out of the box on low-end
systems (such as netbooks).
The previous patch removed module-gconf's dependency on the userdata
pointer of the free callback, and that was the only place where the
userdata pointer of pa_free2_cb_t was used, so now there's no need for
pa_free2_cb_t in pa_hashmap_free(). Using pa_free_cb_t instead allows
removing a significant amount of repetitive code.
This just covers Lennart's concern over the terminology used.
The majority of this change is simply the following command:
grep -rli sync[-_]volume . | xargs sed -i 's/sync_volume/deferred_volume/g;s/PA_SINK_SYNC_VOLUME/PA_SINK_DEFERRED_VOLUME/g;s/PA_SOURCE_SYNC_VOLUME/PA_SOURCE_DEFERRED_VOLUME/g;s/sync-volume/deferred-volume/g'
Some minor tweaks were added on top to tidy up formatting and
a couple of phrases were clarified too.
pa_core_maybe_vacuum now vacuums if there are either no streams or all devices are suspended.
The mempool_vacuum argument to module-suspend-on-idle is gone and defaults to true now.
As various modules can subscribe to unlink callbacks unloading some modules
may trigger hooks in other modules.
The callbacks associated with these hooks could in turn need to use the core
in some capacity (e.g. perhaps they are module loading modules
(e.g. *-discover, filter-apply or gconf etc. and need to use the core to
unload modules they've loaded).
This change simply ensures that all modules and cached samples are unloaded
before freeing the core.
Instead of using string contents for type identification use the address
of a constant string array. This should speed up type verifications a
little sind we only need to compare one machine word instead of a full
string. Also, this saves a few strings.
To make clear that types must be compared via address and not string
contents 'type_name' is now called 'type_id'.
This also simplifies the macros for declaring and defining public and
private subclasses.
Move the mainloop to monotonic based time events.
Introduces 4 helper functions:
pa_{context,core}_rttime_{new,restart}(), that fill correctly a
timeval with the rtclock flag set if the mainloop supports it.
Both mainloop-test and mainloop-test-glib works with rt and timeval
based time events. PulseAudio and clients should be fully functional.
This patch has received several iterations, and this one as been
largely untested.

* Use seperate "state" and "config" paths
* Pass the fact that we are in system mode via an env var $PULSE_SYSTEM instead of as var in pa_core
* Properly check proc name when checking PID files. Don't check exename, because we cannot read that for other uids

is to allocate all audio memory blocks from a per-process memory pool which is
available as read-only SHM segment to other local processes. Then, instead of
writing the actual audio data to the socket just write references to this
shared memory pool.
To work optimally all memory blocks should now be of type PA_MEMBLOCK_POOL or
PA_MEMBLOCK_POOL_EXTERNAL. The function pa_memblock_new() now generates memory
blocks of this type by default.
