- 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
+ rename FEATURE_CONTROLS to FEATURE_PROPS
+ add accessor for the standard spa_param_info (info->params)
+ hide the low-level params API that nobody uses
* introduces API to export session items
* introduces small changes in the WpSiEndpoint & WpSiStream
interfaces to make it nicer to work with
* ports WpImplEndpoint to use PW_TYPE_INTERFACE_Endpoint
to export. Depends on:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/merge_requests/246
(was merged after 0.3.2)
There are 3 kinds of WpProxy objects:
* the ones that are created as a result of binding a global
from the registry
* the ones that are created as a result of calling into a remote
factory (wp_node_new_from_factory, etc...)
* the ones that are a local implementation of an object
(WpImplNode, etc...) and are exported
Previously the object manager was only able to track the first kind.
With these changes we can now also have globals associated with
WpProxies that were created earlier (and caused the creation of the global).
This saves some resources and reduces round-trips (in case client
code wants to change properties of an object that is locally
implemented, it shouldn't need to do a round-trip through the server)
+ use the pw_proxy API to find the bound id instead
of relying on WpGlobal
This has the advantage that it works also for exported
objects and for objects that have been created by calling
into a remote factory (such as the link-factory), so we can
now know the global id of all proxies, not only the ones
that have been created by the registry.
