[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH] match: Support for both merging and replacing proplist updates.

[Colin Guthrie]

'Twas brillig, and Tanu Kaskinen at 29/04/11 11:45 did gyre and gimble:
> This patch adds a new update mode specifier that can be optionally
> given in match rules after the regexp. Propertly list updates triggered
> by the rule will honour the given mode. The two allowed modes are 'merge'
> and 'replace', corresponding to PA_UPDATE_MERGE and PA_UPDATE_REPLACE
> respectively. If omitted, the mode defaults to PA_UPDATE_MERGE, ie. to
> the original behavior.
> 
> For example, to force 'media.role' to be overwritten with 'bar' for
> streams matching foo you can use an entry like this:
> 
> foo replace "bar"
> 
> This will really overwrite media.role to bar even if it has already been
> set to something else by the application.
> 
> Thanks to Krisztian Litkey for the original patch and the description

> a number of bugs in the parsing code.
