protocol-native: Don't signal memfd support for 9.0 clients
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Although such 9.0 clients support memfd transport, they have an
iochannel bug that would break memfd audio if they're run in 32
bit mode over a 64-bit kernel. Influence them to use the POSIX
shared memory model instead.

Also bump the protocol version to exclusively mark such v9.0
libraries. Check commit 451d1d6 for further details.

close their memfd file descriptors.

## v32, implemented by >= 10.0

Enable memfd transport by default.

This protocol bump was only created to mark 9.0 clients. Although they
support memfd transport, such older clients has an iochannel bug that would
break memfd audio if they're run in 32-bit mode over a 64-bit kernel. Thus
influence these buggy libraries to use POSIX shared memory, by signalling
memfd support only to 10.0+ clients.

Check commit 451d1d676237c81 for further details.

#### If you just changed the protocol, read this
## module-tunnel depends on the sink/source/sink-input/source-input protocol
## internals, so if you changed these, you might have broken module-tunnel.
