Detailed Description

PipeWire stream objects.

The stream object provides a convenient way to send and receive data streams from/to PipeWire.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ PW_VERSION_STREAM_EVENTS

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ pw_stream_state

The state of a stream.

Enumerator
PW_STREAM_STATE_ERROR 

the stream is in error

PW_STREAM_STATE_UNCONNECTED 

unconnected

PW_STREAM_STATE_CONNECTING 

connection is in progress

PW_STREAM_STATE_PAUSED 

paused

PW_STREAM_STATE_STREAMING 

streaming

◆ pw_stream_flags

Extra flags that can be used in pw_stream_connect()

Enumerator
PW_STREAM_FLAG_NONE 

no flags

PW_STREAM_FLAG_AUTOCONNECT 

try to automatically connect this stream

PW_STREAM_FLAG_INACTIVE 

start the stream inactive, pw_stream_set_active() needs to be called explicitly

PW_STREAM_FLAG_MAP_BUFFERS 

mmap the buffers except DmaBuf

PW_STREAM_FLAG_DRIVER 

be a driver

PW_STREAM_FLAG_RT_PROCESS 

call process from the realtime thread.

You MUST use RT safe functions in the process callback.

PW_STREAM_FLAG_NO_CONVERT 

don't convert format

PW_STREAM_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE 

require exclusive access to the device

PW_STREAM_FLAG_DONT_RECONNECT 

don't try to reconnect this stream when the sink/source is removed

PW_STREAM_FLAG_ALLOC_BUFFERS 

the application will allocate buffer memory.

In the add_buffer event, the data of the buffer should be set

PW_STREAM_FLAG_TRIGGER 

the output stream will not be scheduled automatically but _trigger_process() needs to be called.

This can be used when the output of the stream depends on input from other streams.

PW_STREAM_FLAG_ASYNC 

Buffers will not be dequeued/queued from the realtime process() function.

This is assumed when RT_PROCESS is unset but can also be the case when the process() function does a trigger_process() that will then dequeue/queue a buffer from another process() function. since 0.3.73
