these functions operate on the _note_diff_command,
which is explicitly a NoteDiff, not a generic DiffCommand
also fix a few thinkos where the ambiguous naming led to errors
syntax for beginning and ending a diff command is:
"new_diff_command" -> "apply_diff_command"
syntax for applying a diff_command is:
"_as_commit" : Begins and Commits a standalone undo Command
"_as_subcommand" : adds to undo but does not Begin or Commit a Command
"_only" : (new) applies the note_diff but does not have any effect on undo
This is useful after a freewheel export, where a realtime-stop
is called, but the actual Locate/MustStop event is only processed
later. Once the session switches back to normal processing after
export the transport is still rolling, TSFM schedules a de-click
locate. This may play some remaining audio.
This new API allows to hard stop the transport, without going
via any session-events and process_with_events. It is intended to
be called from the freewheel process-callback in the last export
cycle.
The idea is to run a plugin outside the process graph, and provide
its I/O as port (much like an external JACK app).
The intended use-case is NDI (provide additional I/O), but it could
also be useful for other cases.
This allows to pass any GraphChain to the Graph to process.
It removes the need to use a mutex to swap two dedicated
chains (setup-chain <> active-chain, pending-chain).
Also various special cases pertaining to graph interaction
while auditioning and route-deletion can be removed.
This also unconditionally creates a graph-thread for GraphChains
to be processed, even if the main callback uses a special-cased
sorted RouteList if there is only one process thread.
The process-graph should only be concerned with GraphNodes,
which may or may not be Routes.
This also removes intrinsic connection information from
the graph-node. Connection information is to be kept separate
from the nodes.
When the graph is re-calculated in the background, old information
has to be retained until the new graph becomes active.
Previously *new* information was already stored in the nodes
while the graph is sorted, even though the new graph was not
active.
In all years of using these assert()s never triggered. Besides
there are valid_port() tests in other strategic locations that
are not periodically hit in realtime context.
