Use the DSP media subtype to describe DSP formats. DSP formats
don't include the rate, channels and channel position in the
format and must use the rate and duration from the position io. This
makes it possible to later change the samplerate dynamically without
having to renegotiate the graph.
The same goes for the video DSP format, which uses the io_video_size
from the io_position to get the size/stride. Set this up in the node
based on the defaults from the context.
Make it possible to define defaults in the daemon config file, such
as samplerate, quantum, video size and framerate. This is stored in
the context and used for the DSP formats.
This is more in line with wayland and it allows us to create new
interfaces in modules without having to add anything to the type
enum. It also removes some lookups to map type_id to readable
name in debug.
Make the thread_loop alloc its own loop by default to simplify
some core. Add extra new_full method to pass a custom pw_loop.
Make other loop implementations ready to support custom loops
if we want that later.
The proxy API is the one that we would like to expose for applications
and the other API is used internally when implementing modules or
factories.
The current pw_core object is really a context for all objects so
name it that way. It also makes it possible to rename pw_core_proxy
to pw_proxy later.
The pw_remote object is really a wrapper around the pw_core_proxy.
The events it emits are also available in the core proxy and are
generally awkward to use.
With some clever new pw_core_proxy_* methods and a pw_core_connect
to create the core_proxy, we can convert all code away from pw_remote.
This is a first step in this conversion, using the pw_remote behind
the scenes. It leaks into some places because it really needs to become
its own struct in a next step.
Change node.priority to priority.session to indicate that this
is the priority that the session manager uses to select the node.
Add another priority.master that the core uses to select a master
driver. Keep the driver nodes sorted by master priority.
Let jack always prefer to connect to the master driver nodes.
Send suspend to the node when suspending. This is usually the same
as puse for all nodes.
Implement negotiation when we Start audioadapter. This makes it
easier that to track the ports that are negotiated for now.
Use Suspend to clear the audioadapter negotiation.
Reorganize some things, let the clients update the segment info
in their own activation, then let the server merge it. This avoids
clients stepping on eachother. When looping through the clients,
copy the segment info when we encounter its owner.
Remove the list of segment owners to the activation. This is better
than in the activation because we can then just keep one list of
owners.
Remove the NONBLOCK flag from the eventfd so that we can do blocking
reads as well.
Just keep a reposition owner in the driver activation. This points
to the node that has the reposition info. This avoid complicated
synchronization to keep multiple nodes from stepping on eachother.
Now they can just prepare the reposition info in their activation and
set themselves as the reposition owner. The last one who succeeds
wins.
When the node latency property is changed, trigger a graph recalc
to set the new quantum if needed.
Also update the driver quantum when unassigned nodes are assigned
to a driver.
This makes it easier to keep track of who is responsible for what.
Also remove the valid fields and move them to flags in the segment
info. That way, the owner can update the flags without having to
worry about concurrency.
Keep separate info for the reposition information. We need to do this
to make it possible to seek in other formats than the frame.
Clear out the owner field when the node is destroyed or removed from
the driver.
Place the requested sync and position update flag in the node
activation. This way we can use our existing loop to update the node
sync states and check if the node is ready.
Implement sync timeout, when the client can't start or seek within the
timeout, we start RUNNING anyway and hope the client catches up.
Sync is enabled when clients need time to move to a new location.
It's a bit like GStreamer preroll after a seek. Clients that need
time, increment the sync_total. Whenever a seek is done, the server
waits in the Starting state until the sync_pending is 0 (or timeout
later).
Improve atomic operations
Add an offset to apply to the clock time before we can compare to the
segment values. This way we can keep the segment start independent of the
clock values and we only need to adjust the offset when paused. It's
like the base_time in GStreamer to calculate the running time.
Move fields from the io_position to io_segment. The segment contains
the mapping between raw clock time and stream time in various
formats. We keep an array of pending segments available in the
io_position field so clients can anticipate changes.
Make looping a flag in the segment instead of a state.
Prepare for segment masters. These will be registered clients that
are responsible for updating parts of the extended segment info.
Add namespace to some defines.
Move some things around. Move the duration of the current cycle
to the clock. Also add the estimated next timeout to the clock.
Add a generic media specific counter to the clock.
Clean up the position_bar info. We can do with only a double beat
value and make the signature in floats.
Flesh out the io_position info. This has now the information needed
to convert a raw clock time into a stream time. It basically has
the same kind of features as GStreamer segments such as looping,
variable rate playback etc.. It also contains the state of the
timeline (paused/playing) and it can be used to update the position
and state from clients.
There is also extended information in the position field that
clients can update when they can.
Plugins basically only update the clock info they get (and use
the position info to check if they are slaved or not).
Before each cycle, check if there is a pending position update and
apply it.
Remove the parent_id from the global event. Remove the parent
and owner from the global object.
Use properties instead to mark parents and owners of objects.
Properties are easier to control for client exported objects and
usually a simple parent/child is not enough. For example, a client
exported node has the client as a parent but also the factory that
created the node.
Implement per channel volume on channelmix. Extend control on stream to
take an array of values when possible.
Remove name argument from pw_node_new and pw_device_new. We can pass
this as a property instead.
Improve properties on nodes to more closely match what pulseaudio does.
Don't let the monitor do too much with the udev properties but let the
session manager set the description and icon-names.
Remove some change_mask flags for things that don't change in
introspect. Use the flags to mark changes in -cli and -monitor.
Remove the CAN_USE_BUFFERS flag, it is redundant. We can know this
because of the IO params and buffer params.
Add flags to the port_use_buffer call. We also want this call to
replace port_alloc_buffer. Together with a new result event we can
ask the node to (a)synchronously fill up the buffer data for us. This
is part of a plan to let remote nodes provide buffer data.
Add a tag field when creating a memmap so that we can do lookup on it.
This makes it easier to implement the tracking of mappings for io areas.
Remove custom io memory tracking and use the tags.
Add flags to spa_chunk to make data corrupted. The flags on the buffer
stay constant for the life of the buffer. Add flags to mark memory
readable and writable. Mark memory readonly in v4l2-source.
Pass the daemon activation area to the client in the transport event.
This never changes and need to be handled differently from the other
activation areas.
Use the right flags when importing memory.
Add the (desired) memory type to mempool_alloc.
improve some debug.
Add a memory pool to manage blocks of memory. Make it possible
to allocate and import blocks.
Add add_mem and remove_mem to the core events to signal a client
of a block of memory. Remove the client-node add_mem.
Make a global pool for memory and a per client pool where we
import and share the memory we need with the client.
Use the new memory pool to track and map memory in clients.
Move the epoll functions to the system functions and make the loop
use those. Use simple mask for events instead of enum.
Add the used system api in pw_loop.
Add System API to spa_support and use it where possible.
Pass the system API used in the realtime loops in spa_support as
well and use this in the realtime paths.
Improve bootstrapping, load only the log and cpu interfaces because
those can/need to be shared between instances. Let the core load
the other interfaces.
Add keys to configure the System and Loop implementations used in
pw_loop.
The interface struct has the type,version and methods of the
interface.
Make spa interfaces extend from spa_interface and make a
separate structure for the methods.
Pass a generic void* as the first argument of methods, like
we don in PipeWire.
Bundle the methods + implementation in a versioned inteface
and use that to invoke methods. This way we can do version
checks on the methods.
Make resource and proxy interfaces that we can can call. We
can then make the core interfaces independent on proxy/resource and
hide them in the lower layers.
Add add_listener method to methods of core interfaces, just
like SPA.
Simplify the scheduling by using simple lists and removing the
subgraphs etc..
Make the driver node trigger all nodes it manages and when they
complete, trigger the driver node to finish the graph.
Pass the complete spa_node_info to update node information. Remove
the redundant max/min port info.
Update the remote node based on port and node update events.
Add a new struct spa_param_info that lists the available params on
a node/port and if they are readable/writable/updated. We can use
this to replace and improve the PARAM_List and also to notify
property change and updates.
Update elements and code to deal with this new param stuff. Add
port and node info to most elements and signal changes.
Use async enum_params in -inspect and use the param info to know
which ones to enumerate.
Use the port info to know what parameters to update in the
remote-node.
Make the bind function a callback instead of an event. We can then
get a return value and use that to clean up the pending proxy and
generate an error.
Don't use special callback in node to receive the results. Instead,
use a generic result callback to receive the result. This makes things
a bit more symetric and generic again because then you can choose how
to match the result to the request and you have a generic way to handle
both the sync and async case. We can then also remove the wait method.
This also makes the remote interface and spa interface to objects very
similar.
Make a helper object to receive and dispatch results. Use this in the
helper for enum_params.
Make device use the same result callbacks.
Remove the done and error callbacks. The error callback is in an
error message. The done callback is replace with spa_pending.
Make enum_params take a callback and data for the results. This allows
us to push the results one after another to the app and avoids ownership
issues of the passed data. We can then extend this to handle the async
case by doing a _wait call with a spa_pending+callback+data that will
be called when the _enum_params returns and async result.
Add a sync method.
All methods can now return SPA_RESULT_IS_ASYNC return values and you
can use spa_node_wait() to register a callback when they complete
with optional extra parameters. This makes it easier to sync and
handle the reply.
Make helper methods to simulate the sync enum_params behaviour for
sync nodes.
Let the transport generate the sequence number for pw_resource_sync()
and pw_proxy_sync(). That way we don't need to keep track of numbers
ourselves and we can match the reply to the request easily.
Add return values to events and method callbacks. This makes it
possible to pass any error or async return value.
Add sync/done/error in both directions so that both proxy and resource
and perform/reply sync and produce errors.
Return a SPA_ASYNC from remote method calls (and events), keep the
sequence number in the connection.
With the core sync/done we can remove the client-node done method and
it's internal sequence number along with the seq number in method calls.
We can also use the method/event async return value to perform a sync
with as the unique sequence number for this method.
Add sync method and done/error event to proxy and resource.
Make an eventfd for each node and listen for events when the node
is activated.
Reorganize some graphs links to make it possible to activiate nodes
by signaling the eventfd
Pass the peer node to each remote node and let the remote node
directly activate the peer when needed.
Let each node signal the driver node when finished.
With this we don't need to go through the daemon to schedule the
graph, nodes will simply activate eachother. We only go to the
server when there is a server node to schedule.
Keep stats about the state of each node and the time it was
triggered, running and finished.
Allocate a per node a piece of shared memory where we place the
activation structure with the graph state and io_position.
We can then give this info to nodes so that they can get the position
in the graph directly but also later, activate the next node in
the graph.
Improve the allocators to always align the buffer memory to the
requested alignment
Use aligned read and writes for sse functions and check alignment,
optionally falling back to unaligned path.
Add more tests and benchmark cases
Check and warn for misaligned memory in plugins.
Remove the spa_pod_iter helpers
Remove builder/parser vararg recurse option, you have to
manually recurse into structures when needed. This simplifies
things a lot.
Pass spa_pod_frames to builder and parser explicitly, we don't
have to keep an internal stack anymore.
The parser is now almost a mirror image of the builder.
Make the parser safer when iterating over objects, add functions
to check and get pod contents in a safe way.
Make the builder return errno style results on errors
Improve performance of object properties when they are stored and
retrieved in the same order.
Add many more tests for the builder and parser
Add some benchmarks
Automatically parse and build key/value when in objects without having
to prefix the key with ":"
Automatically build control/value when in sequence without the "."
prefix.
Remove the builder with key/pod, taking a reference to the stack built
temporary pods is not allowed in c++. We can use the varargs version
with the same convenient syntax.
Remove the parser "*" option, it is unused.
Improve spa_pod_builder_add_* and spa_pod_parser_get_* and make them
look similar.
Remove some events from the remote that we can find on the core_proxy.
Use the core_proxy to get to the done and info events.
Remove pw_remote_get_core_info(), we don't need this anymore now that
we don't listen for the event and the user can keep track of this
herself.
