Description Soeren Apel 2019-12-12 09:36:10 CET

Currently, libsrd simply sends out binary data as provided by the PD. However, the PDs make use of this in different ways:

1) The I2S PD sends out a stream of bytes that resemble a WAV file, so each srd_proto_data_binary struct sent out is part of that one WAV file.

2) The hd44780 PD sends out PNG images, so each srd_proto_data_binary struct sent out is a separate PNG image.

For this reason, the libsrd API must provide information whether the PD sends out streamed or packetized binary data so that the application can handle it properly.
