When the audioconvert starts, it emits 2 ports, but when we set the PortConfig,
it removes them and re-creates them. Previously, the stream class would not
remove the old port proxies from the list and therefore they existed twice.
It is also necessary here to store the proxies earlier, when they are added,
instead of when they are augmented, so that we can ensure they are removed.
Previously we would hit an issue where:
- port proxy is added, augmented
- augment completes but the GTask wants to complete asynchronously:
it stores a ref on the proxy and adds an idle source
- server removes the proxy, we delete it from the core's list
- the GTask now calls the augment callback, which stores the (removed)
proxy on the stream's port_proxies list...
Running audioconvert in merge+split mode is the only way to make this work with
the adapter, since the adapter does not support passing multiple channels on
a single port right now, and if it does at some point, it will be without a
mixing node on the port, which means we will not be able to mix multiple
audioconvert nodes on the same adapter. In the future we need to consider
writing a lighter volume node with multiple channels support to replace
audioconvert.
The new linking algorithm now takes into account the channel positions and makes
sure to link the correct channels together. Also, it avoids passing the port
proxies inside the GVariants, thus making the algorithm a bit more generic
and easier to unit test.
GVariant is instructed to store a 64-bit unsigned integer (mode "t")
but we pass it a pointer to a pointer to read this value out,
which will crash in 32-bit architectures, as the pointer doesn't have
enough bits and g_variant_lookup therefore corrupts the stack.
This is a generic WpMonitor loader that sets up the WpMonitor
properties from the module arguments and applies some well-known
properties to the device & node objects
In practice we always create a remote and connect to pipewire.
Any other scenario is invalid, therefore, it is not justified
to be confused with so many classes for such small functionality.
This simplifies a lot the modules code.
Also, this commit exposes the pw_core and pw_remote objects
out of WpCore. This is in practice useful when dealing with low-level
pw and spa factories, which are used in the monitors. Let's not
add API wrappers for everything... Bindings will never use this
functionality anyway, since it depends on low level pipewire C API.
* Every client has a priority based on its role
* For playback, we allow only a single client to play at a time
* For capture, we allow all clients to capture simultaneously
* Every time the "selected" device changes (either because devices
are discovered/removed or because the user changed the selection),
the clients are re-linked to the new "selected" device.
* When a playback client quits and there are others waiting unlinked,
the highest priority one is linked automatically.
* This also properly fixes re-linking the correct client(s) to the
correct device(s) when wireplumber exits and restarts.
It so happens that sometimes the client proxy is created and destroyed
immediately, almost instantly, which causes this code to crash in case
the proxy pointer is gone when our idle callback tries to destroy it.
This change makes the whole operation safe.
