* It should be possible to activate/deactivate while an item
is exported (if the item supports it, but that's a subclass matter)
* It should be possible to deactivate without resetting configuration
* 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)
* core no longer exposes create_remote/local_object
* node, device & link have constructor methods
to enable the create_remote_object functionality
* added WpImplNode to wrap pw_impl_node and allow creating
"local" node instances
* added WpSpaDevice to wrap spa_device and allow creating
"local" device instances
* exporting objects in all cases now happens by requesting
FEATURE_BOUND from the proxy, eliminating the need for WpExported
* replaced WpMonitor by new, simpler code directly in module-monitor
* the proxy type lookup table in WpProxy is gone, we now
use a field on the class structure of every WpProxy subclass
and iterate through all the class structures instead; this is
more flexible and extensible
+ 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.
This module allows wireplumber to create static nodes that match a specific
device using a spa node factory. Matching is optional, and if there is no match,
the node will always be created.
This ensures that endpoints with keep=false will still have
a chance to link when ones with keep=true exist. This also effectively
means that role priority does not matter when keep=true: we keep these
links active no matter what, while policy still applies normally for
all others.
For example, a final sorted list with these endpoints will end up
looking like this:
* ep1, role priority=25, keep=false
* ep2, role priority=20, keep=false
* ep3, role priority=25, keep=true
* ep4, role priority=75, keep=true
... which will effectively cause ep1, ep3 and ep4 to be linked.
keep=true should work in both ways:
* keep the endpoint with this property linked at all times
* keep other already linked endpoints when linking this one
This is no longer needed since we sort endpoints by role priority
before trying to link them and we link only the highest priority one.
After this sorting, the highest priority endpoint is guaranteed
to be able to link, so _can_link_stream() always returns TRUE.
