Since all scripts run in a sandbox with their own global environment,
it means that they don't interfere with each other's global variables.
Therefore, all file-wide variables can be declared global without
any change in behavior. In my understanding, it is better to do so
because this means that any code accessing those variables is going
to access them directly from the global environment table with a simple
lookup rather than having each variable referenced in the local closure
of each function separately.
This removes both the policy-virtual-client.lua and policy-virtual-device.lua
scripts, and creates a new linking/find-virtual-target.lua script to link
clients with virtual session items if one of them can be found. In addition to
this, this patch also ports the policy-virtual-client-links.lua into a new
scripts/rescan-virtual-links.lua to use the event stack. The idea is for the
scripts/link-target.lua to create all links but only activate non virtual links,
and for the scripts/rescan-virtual-links.lua to activate/deactivate virtual
links based on role priorities.
Use the directory name and file name to construct the hook's name,
like a path. This way, when you see a hook name, it is clear where
to find that hook in the source code.
* client: Logic that deals with configuring clients (basically, permissions)
* device: Anyhing that that deals with configuring devices (profiles, routes, ...)
* node: Anything that deals with node objects: configuring nodes, changing
their state, their properties and also creating new nodes (but NOT linking them)
* linking: All the logic for creating links between nodes (and obviously,
deciding which links to create)
* monitors: Scripts that deal with hardware subsystems, mainly monitoring
hardware changes and reflecting them on pipewire
* default-nodes: All the logic for selecting the default sinks and sources
