A new callback called `onProp` has been added to
`ma_data_source_vtable`. This replaces the following callbacks:
onGetDataFormat
onGetCursor
onGetLength
onSetLooping
This new callback is for retrieving and setting various properties
relating to the data source. It takes a `prop` parameter which is an ID
for the property being handled, and a `void*` pointer for
property-specific data.
Typically onProp implementations would discriminate on the property type
using a switch. The example below shows how to handle the old callbacks:
switch (prop)
{
// Replaces onGetDataFormat (format/channels/rate).
case MA_DATA_SOURCE_GET_DATA_SOURCE:
{
ma_data_source_data_format* pDataFormat =
(ma_data_source_data_format*)pData;
pDataFormat->format = pCustomDataSource->format;
pDataFormat->channels = pCustomDataSource->channels;
pDataFormat->sampleRate = pCustomDataSource->sampleRate;
return MA_SUCCESS;
}
// Replaces onGetDataFormat (channel map)
case MA_DATA_SOURCE_GET_CHANNEL_MAP:
{
ma_channel_map_init_standard(
ma_standard_channel_map_default,
(ma_channel*)pData,
MA_MAX_CHANNELS,
pCustomDataSource->channels);
return MA_SUCCESS;
}
// Replaces onGetCursor
case MA_DATA_SOURCE_GET_CURSOR:
{
*((ma_uint64*)pData) = pCustomDataSource->cursor;
return MA_SUCCESS;
}
// Replaces onGetLength
case MA_DATA_SOURCE_GET_LENGTH:
{
*((ma_uint64*)pData) = pCustomDataSource->length;
return MA_SUCCESS;
}
// Replaces onSetLooping
case MA_DATA_SOURCE_SET_LOOPING:
{
pCustomDataSource->isLooping = *((ma_bool32*)pData);
return MA_SUCCESS;
}
// Mandatory when MA_DATA_SOURCE_SET_LOOPING is implemented.
case MA_DATA_SOURCE_GET_LOOPING:
{
*((ma_bool32*)pData) = pCustomDataSource->isLooping;
return MA_SUCCESS;
}
// Return MA_NOT_IMPLEMENTED for any ignored properties.
default: return MA_NOT_IMPLEMENTED;
}
Note how the format/channels/rate and channel map properties have been
split across two separate properties, `MA_DATA_SOURCE_GET_DATA_SOURCE`
and `MA_DATA_SOURCE_GET_CHANNEL_MAP`. Along with this change, the
channel map parameters have been removed from
`ma_data_source_get_data_format()` and a new function called
`ma_data_source_get_channel_map()` has been added.
New properties have also been added for handling ranges and loop points.
This allows the data source implementation itself to handle it rather
than miniaudio doing it at a higher level. Where this is useful is if
your data source is a wrapper around another data source and you want to
route ranges and loop points to the internal data source.
The reason for this change is that it allows for properties to be added
without having to break the build due to yet another callback being
added. It also hides away the more niche properties that the majority of
data sources do not care about. For example, rarely does a data source
need to handle the `onSetLooping` callback, yet every data source needed
to add a `NULL` entry to their vtables just for this one extremely niche
property.
See documentation for further details.

The copying of the data source is now done generically through the new
data source copying system rather than being restricted to just the
resource manager.
This uses `getDisplayMedia()`. Support for this is extremely browser and
system specific so I'm not advertising support for this documentation.
