This is because 'filter-forward-format.lua' only configures nodes, and therefore
does not have anything to do with the linking logic. The setting has also been
renamed to 'node.filter.forward-format'.
* prefix all settings with "node."
* move settings-stream.lua to settings-node.lua
* move the "audio-no-dsp" setting to the node settings
* add more settings related to node features
* split the default stream volume into 2 settings, one for playback
streams and one for capture streams
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.
* Use more hooks and no custom object managers
* Use the settings manager for the config values
* Allow fully disabling the hooks when both restore-props and restore-target
are disabled in the settings
* Change the format AND the name of the state file; use json directly
in the values now that we can
