The locale parameter was a mistake, because it puts extra needless
burden upon the module developer to have to handle this variable for
each and every single callback function. The parameter is being removed
in favor of a single centralized module callback function that
specifically updates locale information for a module only when needed.
Having the value stored here is somewhat pointless, so this is one step
in fixing the locale handling. Locale should be handled by the modules
themselves with their own loaded locale lookup information.
With this option enabled the plugin will generate timestamps
based on the system time instead of using the ones provided by
pulse audio. This might fix problems with audio desync and may
become the default/only option in the future.
The defaults functions will now return the default device for the
input/output as provided by pulseaudio.
The default output device is the monitor of the default sink.
The wrapping library uses a global mainloop and context which
allows operations to share the connection. The global mainloop
is created and destroyed based on internal reference counting.
The capture code won't spawn a new thread for each input anymore
but instead just create the recording stream and rely on the
threaded mainloop to execute the read callback when data is available.
Improve the properties API so that it can actually respond somewhat to
user input. Maybe later this might be further improved or replaced with
something script-based.
When creating a property, you can now add a callback to that property
that notifies when the property has been changed in the user interface.
Return true if you want the properties to be refreshed, or false if not.
Though now that I think about it I doubt there would ever be a case
where you would have this callback and *not* refresh the properties.
Regardless, this allows functions to change the values of properties or
settings, or enable/disable/hide other property controls from view
dynamically.
