Request for new stream directions *_BIDIR

[ph3-der-loewe]

Overview

There should be some more bidirectional stream directions:

This is a list of IDs that follow the normal semantics:

• MIDI_BIDIR
• LIGHT_BIDIR
• COMPLEX_BIDIR

Those are a bit more complex but one should already allocate an ID for them so those BIDIR IDs are in a single block and there doesn't need to be that much updates on the frameworks defining constants for them:

• RAW_BIDIR
• RDTCS_BIDIR

MIDI_BIDIR

This should be a simple combination of MIDI_IN and MIDI_OUT. This can be useful for example with detached breakout boxes.

LIGHT_BIDIR

This is very interesting combination of LIGHT_IN and LIGHT_OUT. It is very useful when used with RoarDMX codec to let user interfaces update the state but get back all updates so they can share the the universe with multiple other sources.

COMPLEX_BIDIR

This will allow the complex subsystem handle bidirectional streams like LIGHT_BIDIR (see above). The type of data running in both direction will be subject to the used sub-channels as well as the control logic.

RAW_BIDIR

This will be useful for bidirection communication of any kind of pass-thru data. Exact meaning and how this will interact with other streams need to be defined in a later application. This application only requests to reserve an ID.

RDTCS_BIDIR

This may be useful in some very exotic use cases like injecting data into the RDTCS while monitoring the updates. Exact meaning and how this will interact with other streams need to be defined in a later application. This application only requests to reserve an ID.
