-To select between non-native(via control channel) and native modes(via audio
adapter ). The control port will be opened only in the non-native mode.
-To select different sample and sample step sizes. The Legacy non-native
mode also uses these params now.
-To provide the alsa device.
SPA_MEMBER is misleading, all we're doing here is pointer+offset and a
type-casting the result. Rename to SPA_PTROFF which is more expressive (and
has the same number of characters so we don't need to re-indent).
This makes it easier to test PipeWire in its "as-installed" state,
for example in an OS distribution.
The .test metadata files in ${datadir}/installed-tests/${package} are
a convention taken from GNOME's installed-tests initiative, allowing a
generic test-runner like gnome-desktop-testing to discover and run tests
in an automatic way.
The installation path ${libexecdir}/installed-tests/${package} is also
a convention borrowed from GNOME's installed-tests initiative.
In addition to the automated tests, I've installed example executables
in the same place, for manual testing. They could be separated into
a different directory if desired, but they seem like they have more
similarities with the automated tests than differences: both are there
to test that PipeWire works correctly, and neither should be relied on
for production use. Some examples are installed in deeper subdirectories
to avoid name clashes.

Example executable that runs an output audioadapter using audiotestsrc as slave
with an input audioadapter using alsa-pcm-sink as slave for easy testing.
The example-control executable does not play audio. This is because
alsa-pcm-sink needs a data system to run. This patch fixes the example by
loading a data system from libspa-support before creating the nodes.
FreeBSD doesn't provide timerfd and eventfd functions. These are implemented in
3rd party library called epoll-shim. Link targets requiring these functions to
this library.
Remove the node buffers reply again. We don't need it. Instead add a
new method to the client-node to upload an array of buffer datas.
This method is called after the client has allocated buffer mem. It
will update the buffers on the server side with the client allocated
memory.
Wait for the async reply of use_buffers when doing alloc_buffers so
that we can get the updated buffer mem before we continue.
Let the link follow the states of the ports.
Add some error code to the port error states.
Add PW_STREAM_FLAG_ALLOC_BUFFERS flag to make the client alloc buffer
memory.
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.
