The purpose is to wrap some utilities that pipewire provides that use JSON.
Start by wrapping pw_conf_match_rules(), which despite its name, it has nothing
to do with the configuration object. It operates directly on JSON and can be
useful to work with match rules outside the context of configuration files.
Now that we have proper module load order, we can have this shared
dbus connection in a module instead of the library. The module has
to be loaded before any other modules that need it, obviously.
- settings.c tests conf file loading & parsing, metadata updates,
wpsetttings object creation and its API.
- settings.lua tests the API from lua scripts.
- Add a sample settings.conf file, this file contains sections copied
over from client.conf along with the settings section. Add a file
each for wp side and lua side of scripts.
- Make changes in base test infrastructure to take a custom conf file.
- Enhance the wp_settings_get_instance_api() to be take metadata_name
parameter. So, Wpsetttings is now a singleton instance for a given
metadata file.
- Enhance the m-settings module also to be take metadata_name parameter.
this is handy for lua side of tests as its cumbersome to do this is
lua.
Until now, object manager could only match pw global properties on
pw global objects, because this is the only available properties set
at the time the registry creates the global.
With this change, the object manager will now bind the proxy
if the type and the pw global properties have matched and will wait
until the proxy is available with all of its properties and tries
the check again.
We have ended up not using them, so let's not carry them
in the ABI of 0.4
We can always revert that, but let's first decide how
these objects should be used
- make it a GObject so that it can emit its own signals
and so that it can be shared between multiple proxies
- share the WpProps instance between endpoints, endpoint-streams
and their underlying nodes
- introduce the concept of the caching mode that redirects _set
to _set_param of the proxy that actually has the props; this allows
shared WpProps to actually set changes on the correct proxy
in a transparent way
- change methods to consume the ref of the pod and reflect that
also on wp_proxy_set_prop()
- refactor the export process on endpoints & endpoint-streams
so that they always get all the required features (info, props, bound)
and make it async so that we can take time to prepare the underlying
node to have FEATURE_PROPS
- update the props & endpoint unit tests, bringing back all the
checks that the endpoint unit test used to have
This is an asynchronous operation class, like GTask,
but it is made to execute several operations underneath,
using a state machine, instead of just a single operation.
