Wayland doesn't support programmatically setting the app icon, so note this restriction and specify that a desktop entry file that points to the desired icon image is required.
This only does this work if actually mixing; if the physical device only
has a single stream bound to it, it'll just write the data to the hardware
without the extra drama.
Fixes#8123.
Currently it's SILENCE (just zero out the mix buffer), COPYONE (one stream
writes directly into the hardware's buffer), or MIX (everything gets mixed
together before sending to the hardware).
Devices that aren't doing anything result in SILENCE. Devices playing
one thing result in COPYONE.
This lets the two most common states take what are likely significantly
faster approaches.
There will likely be some other strategies later (like when we offer a
postmix callback, etc).
On some system like MacBook Pro Intel with AMD card, asking for the default device will always return the AMD GPU.
This is not an issue for 99% of the case when the renderer context is here to provide the maximum performance level like for game.
However, for video application using GPU for 1 quad and 1 texture, using the discrete GPU for that lead to an important power consumption (4 to 8W), heat increase, and fan noise.
With this patch, I successfully amend ffplay to only use the integrated GPU (i.e. the Intel one), instead of the discrete GPU (i.e. the AMD one).
This is meant to offer a simplified API for people that are either migrating
directly from SDL2 with minimal effort or just want to make noise without
any of the fancy new API features.
Users of this API can just deal with a single SDL_AudioStream as their only
object/handle into the audio subsystem.
They are still allowed to open multiple devices (or open the same device
multiple times), but cannot change stream bindings on logical devices opened
through this function.
Destroying the single audio stream will also close the logical device behind
the scenes.
Apply mainstream commit 8a4de63b (mainstream PR/601) to our hidapi.
The patch is a direct apply of the mentioned commit, with one sdl-
specific part guarded by HIDAPI_IGNORE_DEVICE adapted accordingly.
