Setting node target by id is not safe due to id reuse, and so
target.object which specifies the target by its object.serial was
introduced, and is used e.g. by pipewire-pulse.
Use target.object specifications in policy-node if they are present.
Policies need to know if there are session items that are pending
activation. Linkables are not activated in the same order as nodes
appear, which causes problems for e.g. resolving target nodes, if some
of the linkables are pending.
Register linkables in create-items before they are activated. When
activation completes, remove those that did not activate successfully.
Policies can filter out inactive items by tracking active-features
flags.
If there are existing linkables that are not ready, suspend policy-node
processing, and continue it only after all linkables are ready.
This is expected to be printed if a stream opens and closes
very quickly, like in the case of pipewire-alsa opening the device
for querying formats and then closing it immediately.
-loop through all the linkable nodes, instead of using default nodes
-implement a priority scheme to pick the appropriate target linkables
-If both nodes support a passthrough format, check the intersection.
If the intersection is empty and one of the node is passthrough only,
skip the node as a target
-the logic now closely aligns with the media-session logic
Fixes#75
* populate most session item properties from create-item.lua to keep
things more compact and readable
* use a standard naming scheme for the session item properties
* use session item properties instead of node properties in policy-node.lua
* improve policy-node's performance by converting the properties dictionary
less times for each session item
* refactor some policy logic and make things slighly more readable
* change the accepted values for 'context' in wp_si_linkable_get_ports();
use "input" and "output" to keep things clear, because the previous use
of NULL and "reverse" were implying that a node has only one "standard"
direction, but this is complicated for sinks w/ monitors and duplex nodes
* allow using monitors (which are Audio/Sink nodes in fact) as sources
* treat Audio/Duplex nodes as sinks, like p-m-s does
* respect the "stream.capture.sink" property of streams
Fixes#66
If 'disable.dsp' is set to TRUE, the adapter will always be configured in
passthrough mode. Then, if 2 adapters want to be linked with different formats,
the si-standard-link session item will automatically reconfigure one of the
adapters in convert mode so that the format matches.
And be careful not to handle nodes created by si-audio-endpoint,
by using a specific property for that.
Also, use Audio/{Source,Sink}/Virtual as the media class of null sinks
created by si-audio-endpoint, it sounds more appropriate.
Fixes#34
