[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH 1/2] protocol-native: Add commands for communication with modules

Georg Chini georg at chini.tk
Sun May 21 12:56:34 UTC 2017


This patch adds two new commands to the native protocol that enable direct
communication with modules during run time. SEND_MODULE_COMMAND is used to
send a command string to a module if no reply is needed. This can for example
be employed to change parameters on the fly. SEND_MODULE_QUERY is similar to
SEND_MODULE_COMMAND but expects a reply string from the module. This command
can for example be used to query the current value of parameters.
Within the module, the functions set_command_callback() and get_command_callback()
need to be implemented to handle the two types of requests.

This is a rather generic interface because it only passes strings between the
module and a client without making any assumptions about the content of the
strings.

+Added new commands for communication with modules.

+PA_COMMAND_SEND_MODULE_COMMAND:
+sends a string to a module without reply

+PA_COMMAND_SEND_MODULE_QUERY:

 #### If you just changed the protocol, read this
 ## module-tunnel depends on the sink/source/sink-input/source-input protocol
 ## internals, so if you changed these, you might have broken module-tunnel.
