This is a draft implementation of #294. I'll leave this open for
feedback and potentially better trait naming suggestions or better
solutions in general!

This solution was originally posted by @HybridEidolon in #185. Sorry it
took so long! I thought it might be easier to open a new PR as half of
your implementation here has already been implemented in a following PR
(namely, the change from an unnecessary `Vec` of callbacks to a single
user callback).
Closes#185.
Re-exports host-specific types so that they are available within the
platform module if necessary (e.g. host::asla::Host as AlsaHost).
Allows for converting platform-specific host types (e.g. AlsaHost) into
the dynamically dispatched type generated for the target platform
(`Host`).
This is an implementation of the API described at #204. Please see that
issue for more details on the motivation.
-----
A **Host** provides access to the available audio devices on the system.
Some platforms have more than one host available, e.g.
wasapi/asio/dsound on windows, alsa/pulse/jack on linux and so on. As a
result, some audio devices are only available on certain hosts, while
others are only available on other hosts. Every platform supported by
CPAL has at least one **DefaultHost** that is guaranteed to be available
(alsa, wasapi and coreaudio). Currently, the default hosts are the only
hosts supported by CPAL, however this will change as of landing #221 (cc
@freesig). These changes should also accommodate support for other hosts
such as jack #250 (cc @derekdreery) and pulseaudio (cc @knappador) #259.
This introduces a suite of traits allowing for both compile time and
runtime dispatch of different hosts and their uniquely associated device
and event loop types.
A new private **host** module has been added containing the individual
host implementations, each in their own submodule gated to the platforms
on which they are available.
A new **platform** module has been added containing platform-specific
items, including a dynamically dispatched host type that allows for
easily switching between hosts at runtime.
The **ALL_HOSTS** slice contains a **HostId** for each host supported on
the current platform. The **available_hosts** function produces a
**HostId** for each host that is currently *available* on the platform.
The **host_from_id** function allows for initialising a host from its
associated ID, failing with a **HostUnavailable** error. The
**default_host** function returns the default host and should never
fail.
Please see the examples for a demonstration of the change in usage. For
the most part, things look the same at the surface level, however the
role of device enumeration and creating the event loop have been moved
from global functions to host methods. The enumerate.rs example has been
updated to enumerate all devices for each host, not just the default.
**TODO**
- [x] Add the new **Host** API
- [x] Update examples for the new API.
- [x] ALSA host
- [ ] WASAPI host
- [ ] CoreAudio host
- [ ] Emscripten host **Follow-up PR**
- [ ] ASIO host #221
cc @ishitatsuyuki more to review for you if you're interested, but it
might be easier after #288 lands and this gets rebased.
This commit significantly refactors the alsa backend's `EventLoop::run`
implementation in order to allow for better error handling throughout
the loop. This removes many cases that would previously `panic!` in
favour of calling the user callback with the necessary error and
removing the corrupt stream. Seeing as the method cannot return, a
catch-all `panic!` still exists at the end of the method, however this
refactor should make it much easier to remove this restriction in the
future.
This adds the following types:
- `StreamEvent`
- `CloseStreamCause`
- `StreamError`
These allow for notifying the user of the following events:
- A stream has been played.
- A stream has been paused.
- A stream has been closed due to user destroying stream.
- A stream has been closed due to an error.
