This would result in duplicate entries in audio clients. - Fix an off-by-one in the vban audio receiver. Tweak the rate adaption a little. - ACP will now set a UCM verb before probing the pro-audio devices. - More bugfixes and improvements. * PipeWire - An old regression was fixed with where some nodes would not run. (#3405) - Suspend was improved a little to avoid races when the session manager would suspend right when a driver was starting. * Modules - module-rtp-sap does not use the deprecated inet_aton anymore. - Fix an off-by-one in the vban audio receiver.

The permissions required to perform various API calls are documented. - A new L permission was added to make it possible to force a link between nodes even when the nodes can't see eachother. - Config files need to end with .conf. - The client.api is added the to global properties of a node. * modules - The VBAN module now supports midi send and receive as well. - Fix module-profiler alignment and make sure we don't overrun our buffers with many nodes. - Protect libcanberra calls with a mutex because it is not thread safe. * SPA - Support older compilers for spa_clear_ptr(). - Fix a bug in ALSA source where the available number of samples was miscaluclated and resulted in xruns. - Don't set inotify on /dev but on the videoX devices directly. Setting inotify on /dev would cause a lot of spurious wakeups and lock contention in the fsnotify subsystem on some benchmarks. - Audioconvert now rate limits the warnings when it runs out of buffers. * pulse-server - Some bugs and inconsistencies were fixed in device lookup. - Improve subscribe event emission, detect changes to the sink or the monitor and send the right sink/source event. * JACK - The libjack.so now has a minor version of 3 and a micro version of the pipewire version. - JACK clients will now see portregistration from other jack clients when they activate/deactivate like real JACK. * bluetooth - Use some more autoptr cleanups, fix some leaks. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jul 28 10:35:03 UTC 2023 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.76: * Highlights - Fix a regression that would cause the MPV pipewire backend to fail because of a spurious thread-loop signal. - Fix a crash when DBus is not found. - ALSA hires timestamps are now disabled by default. - Some more fixes and improvements. * PipeWire - A new option was added to pw-thread-loop to signal when the thread starts. - This is only used in module-rt to avoid regressions in mpv. (#3374) - Fix a compilation problem. - Stream flags now only set the properties when not already set. This fixes a regression with node autoconnect. (#3382) * Tools - pw-cat will now stop when the stream is disconnected. (#2731) - Improve the pw-cat man page, mention that stdin/stdout handling is only on raw data. * modules - module-rt will now not crash when dbus is not available but error out as before. - A new VBAN (vb-audio.com) sender and receiver was added. (#3380) * SPA - Add an option in audioconvert to disable volume updates. (#3361) - ALSA hires timestamps are disabled by default because many drivers seem to give wrong timestamps and cause extra delay. * bluetooth - LE Audio support is now enabled by default when liblc3 is available now that bluez has support for detecting the hardware features. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jul 25 08:19:55 UTC 2023 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add code in the spec file to modify the patch file reduce-meson-dependency.patch (used to build in SLE/Leap) so that we don't need to rebase it manually for every version update. - Use gcc 11 in SLE/Leap since gcc 9 fails to build 0.3.75 with ../spa/include/spa/utils/cleanup.h:52:13: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘DIR’ {aka ‘struct __dirstream’} 52 | __typeof__(*(ptr)) *_old_value = spa_steal_ptr(ptr); \ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Jul 23 01:16:45 UTC 2023 - llyyr <llyyr.public@gmail.com> - Update to version 0.3.75: * Highlights - Link permissions between nodes are now enforced. This avoids potential portal managed screencast nodes to link to the camera even though it was not assigned permissions to do so by the session manager (boo#1213682). - Libcamera and v4l2 devices now have properties so that duplicates can be filtered out by the session manager. - A bug with draining was fixed where a buffer would be marked EMPTY and would not play when it contained drained samples. - Many fixes and improvements. * PipeWire - Permissions for links between nodes are now enforced. The link will now check that the owner clients of the nodes can see each other before allowing the link. This avoids screensharing clients to accidentally being linked to the camera nodes by the session manager. A side effect is that patchbay tools will no longer be able to link portal managed screencast nodes to the camera, for this we need a new permission for those patchbay clients. - The stream.rules/filter.rules are now evaluated when connecting the stream/filter so that more properties can be matched. - Move some internal events from the context to the nodes to better handle per-node threads in the future. - The thread-loop will now signal when the thread is started. * modules - A timestamp workaround in module-raop was reverted because it does not work in all cases. Instead latency was increased to 1.5 seconds, which also makes the problematic device in question work. - The profiler module was reworked a bit to use the new node realtime events. It should now also handle dynamically added and removed drivers. - The module-rt now does the rtkit calls from a separate thread so that it does not block the main thread. This could cause deadlocks during startup in some cases. * SPA - Atomic operation macros were move from internal pipewire API to public API. - The video-info structure now has a new SPA_VIDEO_FLAG_MODIFIER_FIXATION_REQUIRED flag to instruct the application to fixate the modifiers. This simplifies some logic in applications a lot. - The libcamera and v4l2 nodes now have properties to enumerate the device id they are using. This can be used to match v4l2 devices and libcamera devices and filter out duplicates. - A bug with draining was fixed where a buffer would be marked EMPTY and would not ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jul 12 10:03:52 UTC 2023 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Update to version 0.3.74: * Highlights - Fix a critical bug where audio to bluetooth devices would cut out randomly. - Improve RAOP compatibility. - Avoid crashes after an update. - Small fixes and improvements. * PipeWire - Mix info on port is now created explicitly. - Remove the node as a driver peer when stopping. This caused some problem with playback on and other remote bluetooth devices. - Work on avoiding crashes when loading new modules that use internal API with old libpipewire. This is typical after an update where the old library is still loaded by an application but when a new stream is created, updated modules are loaded. * Modules - The RTP source module now has an option to ignore the SSRC, which is useful to continue to receive the stream when the sender is restarted. - The native protocol will refuse to load twice now instead of silently ignoring the error. - module-raop is compatible with more devices. * SPA - plugins will now warn when running out of buffers. This is always a bad thing. - Merge scope based cleanup macros. - Add ratelimit function. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Jul 8 15:24:48 UTC 2023 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Update to version 0.3.73: * Highlights - Fixes an ALSA resume after suspend error. - Handle and disable seemingly wrong hires timestamps from ALSA. - Filter-chain now has loadable plugin modules. The LV2 and sofa plugins are moved to a separate .so file to make things more modular. - Rate changes in the graph should now be handled more gracefully by loopback and filter-chain. - A regression in the rtp-sap module was fixed where it would in some cases fail to start. - A potential crash in the peaks resampler was fixed. - Many cleanups and other small bug fixes. * PipeWire - Fix a potential segfault when no fallback driver was set in the config. - Improve OPUS detection. - Add ASYNC flag to pw-filter and pw-stream when queue/dequeue is not called from the process function. This ensure we allocate an extra buffer. - Discard pending process callbacks when disconnecting. - Cleanups and improvements to the debug environment variable parsing. - The graph rate was tweaked to better handle very low rates such as those requested by pavucontrol when it does the signal monitoring. * Modules - An example filter module was added. - Filter-chain and loopback now disable the resamplers if no rate is specified and will always follow the graph rate. - Improve setup of filter-chain. The graph is now created when starting because this ensure the target graph rate is known. - Filter-chain can now link notify ports to control ports in the graph. - Filter-chain now has loadable plugin modules. The LV2 and sofa plugins are moved to a separate .so file. - A regression in the rtp-sap module was fixed where it would in some cases fail to start. - Module-rt now has options to disable rlimits, portal and rtkit. - module-raop-discover now has an options to set the latency. * Tools - pw-cat now supports overriding all stream properties. * SPA - Disable rate negotiation when the resampler is disabled. We will always follow the graph rate. - Set device.icon property for UCM ports as well. - Improve ALSA recover when using hires timestamps. This fixes some problems after resume from suspend. - ALSA will now warn and disable hires timestamp when they seem wrong. They can also be disabled manually with a property. - V4l2 will now gracefully handle ENOTTY when enumerating frame sizes and frame rates. - A potential crash in the peaks resampler was fixed. * pulse-server - A client crash in pavucontrol is avoided by always setting a card name. - The graph rate is now taken correctly when using the FIX flags. - An option was added to ignore the FIX flags of a stream. Also the documentation for those options was updated. - module-raop-discover now support latency_msec. * Bluetooth - Remove an assert and issue a warning/recover instead when a buffer is too small. * GStreamer - The device provider does locking when destroying the registry. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jun 26 09:30:37 UTC 2023 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.72: * Highlights - Fix a critical bug that would refuse to update the samplerate or buffersize in JACK clients. - A new module-netjack2-driver and module-netjack2-manager were added that are compatible with NETJACK2. This allows PipeWire to become a NETJACK2 manager or a driver between JACK2 or PipeWire servers. - Support was added for firewire devices with FFADO. This is untested for now and MIDI is not implemented yet. - The node scheduling was optimized some more. External drivers are now as efficient as in-server ones. This should improve performance of various drivers such as bluetooth and JACK based drivers. - Many, many bug fixes and a ton of improvements. * PipeWire - pw-filter can now be used to write sinks and sources. - The node activation for drivers was changed. The driver now does not need to go to the server to start the processing cycle. This makes out-of-server drivers as efficient as in-server drivers. - Don't try to use drivers with 0 priority as fallback drivers. This avoids making the screencast driver a driver for audio. - Improve xrun count reporting in pw-top and the profiler. Now each node has their own xrun counter updated when it fails to complete processing during the cycle. - pw-filter now also has support for TRIGGER. - A potential fd leak was found when fds were send to a zombie client. - Fix a bug where monitor or capture streams were logged twice in the profiler. - Remove stream hooks safely. - A bug in serialization of container properties was fixed. This could result in truncated property values. - The PIPEWIRE_AUTOCONNECT environment variable now always overrides the autoconnect settings of streams. - Node, port and link destroy now avoids some useless work. - Port will now try to renegotiate a new format when idle. * Modules - The module-sap now is more compatible with AES67. - A new FFADO driver module was added. This is completely untested because of lack of hardware. Please test and report issues. - A new NETJACK2 driver and a NETJACK2 manager module were added. These should be drop in replacements for the JACK2 parts. - The RAOP discover module now tries harder to only list devices once. - The zeroconf discover module now tries harder to only list devices once. - The RAOP sink module now handles latency better and is compatible with some more devices. - The loopback and filter-chain modules now always dequeue the last input buffer to avoid stuttering in some cases. - The SPA node factory module can now also export nodes. This is used to export the PTP clock from the AES67 config file. - A bug in module-jack-tunnel was fixed that would cause stuttering and corrupted output in some cases. - The resampler is now disabled in module-loopback and filter-chain when the samplerate is set to follow the graph rate. - The way the mixer peer is sent to clients was improved. It is now also possible to let a remote node know about mixer port removes, which can avoid memory leaks and some code simplifications. * SPA - Monitor ports now report latency correctly. - The ALSA plugin now uses htimestamp to get a more accurate ringbuffer position to estimate the clock skew. - The channelmixer now has min/max-volume settings to limit or fix the volume. - The ALSA plugin can now control the playback and capture rate of USB gadgets. This can avoid resampling and instead use the USB feedback to control the rate. - The ALSA output to multiple devices has been improved, some lockups are avoided when the device ringbuffer is full. - The compress-offload sink has improved negotiation. * pulse-server - Only try to use GSettings when the schema exists. - @DEFAULT_SOURCE@, @DEFAULT_SINK@ and @DEFAULT_MONITOR@ are now correctly handled as targets in playback and capture streams. - 2 new quirks are added to disable volume updates on sinks/sources. - The virtual-sink and virtual-source modules were added. These are really example modules but actually also work and are useful on PulseAudio so implement them as well. - Fix initial stream volumes. * Bluetooth - Only register A2DP or BAP when we have codecs. - Include codec into the media.name * JACK - Fix a critical bug that would refuse to update the samplerate or buffersize. - Improve updates of samplerate/buffersize, delay the updates until the client is activated. - Use the new mix-info updates to simplify the mixer setup and peer detection. * GStreamer - Fill default strides instead of 0 on pipewire video buffers. - Remove patch already included upstream: * 0001-jack-update-bufsize-and-samplerate-when-skipping-not.patch - Move libjack* conflicts from package pipewire-libjack-0_3 (which has coinstallable libraries) to pipewire-jack (which includes the ld.so.conf.d file). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed May 31 06:50:17 UTC 2023 - Dominique Leuenberger <dleuenberger@suse.com> - Have pipewire-spa-plugins-0_2 suggest pipewire-libjack-%{apiver_str}: this package requires libjack.so.0, so we best use our own implementation. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri May 19 17:26:12 UTC 2023 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Add patch from upstream to fix JACK buffersize updates: * 0001-jack-update-bufsize-and-samplerate-when-skipping-not.patch - Create a pipewire-jack package that provides jack-daemon (and conflicts with any other) and requires the pipewire-libjack library. Move the ld configuration from pipewire-libjack, so that only pipewire-jack forces PipeWire to be the default JACK. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed May 17 15:18:10 UTC 2023 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.71: * Highlights - A new zero-latency jackdbus bridge was added. This works similar to what PulseAudio has to offer and creates a sink/source when jackdbus is started. It is however much more efficient and runs the complete PipeWire graph as a synchronous JACK client with no added latency. - Many performance improvements. Activation of remote nodes is more efficient, fewer eventfds are required on the clients, less callback overhead in performence critical paths and an optimized poll function was added. This was mainly driven by the jackdbus module to get the lowest possible overhead when running the graph. - The JACK notify callback implementation was reworked to emulate better what JACK does, improving compatibility with ardour7 and the JACK stress test. - More work on BAP devices. Device latency is now passed on to applications also for multi-device headsets, and channel allocation is handled better. - Many more improvements and bugfixes. * PipeWire - Remove the hardcoded limit on io_areas. This is used to link nodes together and exchange buffers, it was limited to 2048 but now dynamically scales based on requirements. - Rate and quantum changes are now applied correctly in more cases. (#3159) - Updates to client-node to more efficiently process the driver. - The profiler information was improved to be more accurate. It should now work better for remote drivers. - Some potential memory map errors were fixed in the protocol because in some case with large messages, some fds were closed too soon. - pw-filter now implements the pw_filter_set_active() method. - A potential out-of-buffers case was fixed in capture pw-streams where buffers were not moved to the recycle queue when the node suspended. - Nodes are now always woken up with the eventfd. Previously there were some optimiztions in the server to directly call into the node process function but that optimization is not necessary. Without this optimization it is now possible to run nodes in different threads. - pw-stream trigger is now implemented correctly in all cases. - Remote nodes now use one eventfd less because they get triggered with the node eventfd directly. - Monitor ports are now ignored in latency updates. - A potential race when reporting an error to a client was fixed. (#3192) - Fix a bug where always_process nodes would sometimes IDLE. (#3189) - Optimize peer activation. Nodes are now activated more efficiently and independent of the number of links. It also reduces the number of eventfds and memory in remote clients. - A bug in property serialization was fixed. Values with spaces would only serialize the first part of the value. * Modules - Correctly handle the echo-canceler plugin init method fallback. The samplerate was not correctly configured. This is only a regression for people that have external echo-canceler plugins. - RAOP sink now only sets the volume on the remote end when the stream is recording. (#3175) - RAOP discover now tries to deduplicate entries from the same host. - A new zero-latency jackdbus bridge was added. This works similar to what pulseaudio has to offer and creates a sink/source when jackdbus is started. It is however much more efficient and runs the complete PipeWire graph as a synchronous JACK client. - The access module uses a more secure way to check the application executable. - module-combine-stream now has configurable delay and latency for each stream. This can be used to align sinks/sources with different latencies. - A potential crash in module-pulse-tunnel was fixed when shutting down. (#3199) - Module-rt will now clamp the nice value to the min allowed value to avoid errors from rtkit. (#3186) - Fix a bug with the session counters in module-rtp-sap. Also use the right format for L24. Improve the AES67 example config. - Improve some warning and info messages in module-rt. (#3194) - module-rtp-session should now do something when started without arguments. - A potential crash in module-rtp-session was fixed. (#3217) - module-filter-chain has better error reporting when a convolver fails to load. (#3223) * SPA - Move some things around to avoid compiler warnings. (#3171) - Increase mixer ports. Reorganize some things and bump mixer input ports from 128 to 512. - Fix a potential crash when a node is scheduled before it completes the setup. - The JACK sink and source SPA plugins have seen some improvements. - Allow the peaks resampler still if we disabled resampling. - Perform more cleanup in audioadapter when in error. - An optimized non-cancellable loop implementation was added. - Callbacks were optimized with a _fast() varsion that doesn't check the version and method. When this check is performed earlier, it can be skipped in performance critical places. - Some of the callbacks and system methods are now using the fast function calls in critical paths. - A potential division by zero was fixed in the ALSA plugins. - Improve rate and quantum when starting audioconvert. - Make it possible to override node.driver in the SPA null-audio-driver. (#3220) * pulse-server - The audio info parameter parsing was refactored and improved. - Fix some races with clients exiting when playing samples. - An option was added to change or disable the dbus name registration. (#2987) * Bluetooth - Implement battery reporting using AT+XEVENT. - Disable hardware volume for 3M WorkTunes. - Implement BAP audio locations (channel positions) by using the new bluez properties. * JACK - Fix some errors reported by JACK test.cpp. (#2638) - Add jack.show-midi option to show/hide midi ports. - Add jack.max-client-ports option. JACK also has a port limit and so PipeWire needs it as well to make the tests happy. - Call the shutdown callback only when the server stopped, not when there is a random error. (#3070) - Avoid registering the same port name twice. - Call port registration callbacks in activate/deactivate. - Improve jack_port_connected(). - Improve some error reporting. - The JACK headers were updated to a newer version. - JACK callbacks are now managed with an event queue to simulate more what JACK does. This avoids emiting callbacks when a method is blocking for a reply and causing deadlocks. (#3183) - Assign unique names to JACK clients. (#2833) - Fix a potential crash when the thread_utils was used after free. - Aliases are now not filled in by default to improve JACK compatibility. (#3154) * ALSA - The ALSA plugin will now wait for negotiation to complete or an error before _prepare() completes. This makes more applications deal correctly with the potential errors. * Docs - A new document about how scheduling is implemented was added. - Update the pw-cli man page. (#2988) - Document the SPA Pod serialization. - Document the PipeWire native protocol. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 2 11:41:03 UTC 2023 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Make pipewire-alsa conflict with alsa-plugins-pulse as both provide /etc/alsa/conf.d/99-*-default.conf - Replace "ffmpeg-5" with the ffmpeg_pref macro. - Drop patches already included upstream: * 0001-Revert-alsa-mixer-allow-to-re-attach-the-mixer-control.patch * 0002-alsa-fix-area-pointers.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 20 15:41:53 UTC 2023 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.70: * Highlights: - Fix a regression in the scheduler that could keep some nodes IDLE. - Fix a regression in the biquad filters in filter-chain. - Fix a regression and potential crash in the ALSA mixer probing. - Fix a regression in pipewiresrc with timestamps that could cause cheese to record video with wrong timestamps. - Beamforming support was enabled in the echo-canceler. - pulse-tunnel and raop-sink will now proxy local volume changes to the remote end. - More bugfixes and improvements. * PipeWire - Fix a bug in the graph scheduler where some nodes might stay IDLE in some cases (like when connecting the source of the echo-canceler to the sink). - pw-metadata can now be created from the factory with initial values for the metadata. (#3076) - Conditions were added to the pipewire config file to make it possible to configure the access module and the exec sections. - Support was added in pw-stream to intercept and override properties for the adapter. This can be used to implement custom volume control, for example. * Tools - pw-metadata can now list all available metadata objects with the -l option. - A new pw-config tool was added to debug configuration file loading and parsing. * Modules - The webrtc echo canceler now supports beamforming. You can provide the coordinates of the microphones and let webrtc perform beamforming on the captured samples to improve quality and remove noise. - Fix a regression in the filter-chain with biquad filters. (#3161) and improve error reporting. - The pulse-tunnel will now proxy the volume changes to the remote end. - The RAOP sink will now send volume parameters to control the volume remotely. (#2061) * SPA - One ALSA commit was not correctly reverted and might cause crashes. - The ALSA sink and source now calculate the ALSA ringbuffer memory location more correctly wich might improve compatibility with some hardware. - v4l2 now sets the values of the controls in the Props param. * Pulse-server - The echo-canceler aec_args are now parsed like they would be under pulseaudio. * Bluetooth - More work on synchronizing BAP devices. * GStreamer - The GStreamer source can now renegotiate the format when it changes. - The GStreamer source now uses the BaseSrc clocking code to implement the clock and timing code. - Rebase patch: * reduce-meson-dependency.patch - Enable the ffmpeg plugin only in TW, since ffmpeg-5-mini doesn't seem to be available in Leap/SLE ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 18 20:14:27 UTC 2023 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com> - reenable ffmpeg plugin by building against ffmpeg-5-mini ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Apr 15 10:08:51 UTC 2023 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Add patch from upstream for https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/78195 * 0001-Revert-alsa-mixer-allow-to-re-attach-the-mixer-control.patch - Add patch from upstream to fix some potentially broken devices: * 0002-alsa-fix-area-pointers.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Apr 14 11:10:46 UTC 2023 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com> - Only apply reduce-meson-dependency.patch when meson present during build is too old. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Apr 14 08:58:53 UTC 2023 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add patch to build pipewire in Leap 15.4: * reduce-meson-dependency.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 13 19:23:05 UTC 2023 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Update to version 0.3.69: * Highlights: - Reverted the UCM changes, they seem to cause regressions causing audio to be muted in some cases. - Fix a regression in the scheduler where a driver node might not be marked as runnable in some cases, like when echo-cancel is used. - Handle links from the driver to itself. This makes the midi bridge work again. - ALSA rate matching for sources was fixed. It would previously wait too long for rate matching and then cause drift. This should reduce crackling and stuttering whan capturing in low latency. - Fix the GStreamer clock to make cheese video recording work again. - More fixes and improvements. * PipeWire: - Fix a regression in the scheduler where a driver node might not be marked as runnable in some cases, like when echo-cancel is used. - Handle links from the driver to itself. This makes the midi bridge work again. - Some man pages were improved. - Fix a potential crash when thread-loop is destroyed before the loop. * Modules: - A new raw biquad filter was added to filter-chain. You can manually set the 6 parameters and you can use this to create custom filters per sample rate. - The echo-canceller now supports different channels for the capture and playback streams. * SPA: - A SB Audigy specific profile set was added to make better use of the controls. - More ALSA IRQ based scheduling improvements. - ALSA rate matching for sources was fixed. It would previously wait too long for rate matching and then cause drift. This should reduce crackling and stuttering whan capturing in low latency. - The echo-cancel plugin API has a new method to make it possible to have different channels for capture, source and playback. - Reverted the UCM changes, they seem to cause regressions causing audio to be muted in some cases. * Bluetooth: - Many more BAP fixes and improvements. Devices are now created as a set and can be combined into one device by the session manager. * GStreamer: - Fix the GStreamer clock to make cheese video recording work again. - Enable gstreamer-device-provider (rh#2183691). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 6 14:12:51 UTC 2023 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Update to version 0.3.68: * Highlights: - Symbolic links to the pipewire binary are now used instead of recompiling the same binary multiple times. - Changes to the graph scheduler related to quantum/rate updates and calculation of the node states. Things should start and switch between quantums and rates more smoothly now and especially virtual devices should now only run when required. - A new RTP session module was added. This uses the Apple MIDI protocol to configure low-latency bidirectional MIDI (and with a PipeWire specific extension, also audio) between machines. OPUS encoding was added to the RTP formats. The SAP module was separated from the rtp-sink/source module to make it more usable. - A new runtime debug property was added to all streams and nodes to trigger a save of the raw samples to a wav file. Support for this has also been added to the echo-canceler to debug potential issues. - Module pulse-tunnel has improved rate matching and synchronisation support. It should also not drift anymore for capture devices. - The link-factory now ignores by default the link.passive property. This means that tools like pw-link or jack clients and wireplumber can't make passive links anymore. The reason is that there is now much more advanced logic in PipeWire itself to handle passive links based on node and port properties. - The RAOP sink was ported to new OpenSSL functions. Digest passwords are handled correctly now and support for more devices was added. - The ACP code was updated with new PulseAudio UCM code: "Create multiple profiles per verb for conflicting devices". This might change the names of devices, profiles and ports so scripts might need to be updated. - Upmixing is disabled again by default. We now ship config files that distros can install to enable upmixing again. The reason being that PipeWire should not apply fancy DSP processing to audio by default. - Many cleanups and bugfixes, including some crashes and memory corruption bugs. * PipeWire: - Don't crash when calling _connect twice in stream/filter. - Links are now installed instead of compiling the pipewire binary multiple times. - There is now a new core event bound_props that augments the bound_id event with the global properties. This can be used to get the global.serial among other global properties. It also makes it possible in the future to let the server allocate unique names or uuids. - Fix a bug where the server could go into an infinite reconfigure loop when the samplerate of a driver would change. - When a samplerate was forced, restore the previous best samplerate when the samplerate is no longer forced. - Rework how the states of the nodes in the graph are calculated. A more refined algorithm is now used that only runs nodes that need to run. - Rework how the quantum change is applied to the graph. Drivers are now responsible for using the new updated rate/quantum before starting a new cycle. This avoids starting a cycle with an old quantum first. - pw-stream and pw-filter will now ensure that the Trigger event is called from the main thread. - node.force-rate=0 will now force the node.rate on the graph, forcefully switching the hardware into the new rate if possible. - Additional checks were added to the thread-loop to check locking order. - Additional checks were added to pw-stream and pw-filter to check if methods are called from the right thread context. * modules: - A new RTP session module was added. This uses the Apple MIDI protocol to configure bidirectional MIDI (or audio) between machines. - SAP support was removed from module-rtp-source and module-rtp-sink and moved to a separate module. This makes it possible to use the RTP modules without SAP support as well. - The echo-cancel module now has support to save the signals to a wav file for debugging purposes. - The RTP modules now have support for the OPUS codec. - The RAOP module was ported to new openssl encryption functions and handles digest passwords correctly now. - module-raop-discover now has match rules to be able to select the streams and set properties. - Module pulse-tunnel has improved rate matching and synchronisation support. - Fix potential memory corruption and infinite loops because module-pulse-tunnel was unloaded from the wrong thread. - The link-factory now ignores by default the link.passive property. This means that tools like pw-link or jack clients and wireplumber can't make passive links anymore. The reason is that there is now much more advanced logic in PipeWire itself to handle passive links based on node and port properties. - module-echo-cancel will now clear its buffers after a suspend to avoid playing stray samples. - module-raop-sink will now handle 0 timing_port replies. * SPA: - The adapter module now has support for saving the raw audio to a wav file for debugging purposes. - The ACP code was updated with new PulseAudio UCM code: "Create multiple profiles per verb for conflicting devices". This might change the names of devices, profiles and ports so scripts might need to be updated. - Upmixing was disabled again by default. We now ship config files that distros can install to enable upmixing again. - audioadapter and audioconvert have seen improvements in the experimental non-DSP/passthrough mode. - Fix a potential race where the dummy drivers could fail to stop a timer and cause endless warnings in the logs. - The ALSA plugin has experimental support for IRQ based scheduling. This should decrease latency for some (mostly USB) drivers. This should bring latency within JACK latency. - Audioconvert now has support for volume ramping. - A new loop method was added the check if a thread is currently running the loop. - channelmix.disable and resample.disable now generate an error when true and channelmixing or resampling is required in the converter. * Bluetooth: - Fix a crash in some cases when a device was disconnected. - Support async transport state changes. This avoids some lockups when the bluetooth backend is having issues. - Align BAP sinks. This improves synchronization between earpieces. * ALSA: - Improve properties in pw-top and pavucontrol. * pulse-server: - Improve error handling from pulse-tunnel. - Generate silence correctly for unsigned formats as well. - Review buffer params. The streams should now just work with 1 or 2 buffers. - module-rtp-send and module-rtp-recv now have support for the OPUS codec. * JACK: - Make sure we don't call any callbacks anymore when deactivating. * GStreamer: - Sort the device by priority in deviceprovider. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Mar 19 08:51:17 UTC 2023 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com> - Add pkgconfig(lc3) BuildRequires, and pass bluez5-codec-lc3=enabled to meson. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 9 13:57:10 UTC 2023 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com> - Update to version 0.3.67: * Highlights: - The loopback module and other couples streams will now not randomly fail in some cases. - The RTP module now has support for sending and receiving MIDI as well. - The compress offload sink has seen many improvements. It now uses ioctls directly to bypass limitations of tinycompress (to be able to detect the available codecs, for example). - Pulse server compatibility was improved for some apps by improving the format parsing and FIX_ stream flag handling. - The min quantum in the pulse server was changed from 256/48000 to 128/48000 to fix some issues with games that expect 5ms or less of latency. - The Bluetooth plugin has seen many improvements in packet scheduling to attempt to reduce stuttering on some devices. - The ALSA plugin now handles some impossible cases better. This fixes recording in QEMU again. * PipeWire: - SPDX tags were added to the code for copyright information. - The random number functions were made more usable. - The port property code was moved from the adapter to the port implementation itself to make it more useful and unified for the cases where no adapter is used (midi and video). - Fix a potential overflow in mixer areas. - Improve runnable state calculations of nodes. This is part of ongoing work to avoid running nodes that should not need to run. - The stream will now always call the process function when using trigger, even if there are no buffers. This avoids stalls of the processing graph in some cases. - Links are now marked as passive by PipeWire itself so that the right thing happens in all cases. - Implement the in/out/true values for the node.passive property. - Place a passive state on ports to make passive links on a port by port basis. * Tools: pw-cat has seen improvements in the encoded file playback case. * Modules: - The rtp module has support for MIDI now. - DSCP is now configurable in the RTP module. - The loopback module doesn't randomly fail to work anymore. * SPA: - The null-audio sink can now be given a format and it will return this instead of the default float ones. This makes it possible to make a null-sink that has a given format. - The compress offload sink has seen many improvements. It now no longer uses tinycompress to be able to detect the available codecs. - The ALSA plugin now handles some impossible cases better. - Fix compilation on older compilers. * Pulse-server: - The FIX_ flags are now implemented more correctly by fixating the stream to the format of the sink/source they ask to be connected to. - There is now also an option to override the fixation based on rules. - Format parsing was improved and should now support all format strings supported by pulseaudio including upper and lower case variants and shortcuts. - Channelmap parsing was improved and should now reject invalid channelmaps as well as support the shortcuts supported by pulseaudio. - Escape codes in module arguments now work as it does in pulseaudio. - The min quantum was changed from 256/48000 to 128/48000 to fix some issues with games that expect 5ms or less of latency. * JACK: - jack.passive-links can now be used to have a JACK client make passive links and the node.passive property is no longer used for this because it has a different function. - The qsynth rule was updated to the new node.passive features. It is now only passive on the output side. * Bluetooth: - BAP delay and transport latency are handled now. - A2DP and SCO can now use bigger buffers to improve quality when the reception is jittery. - The AT+BCC command is now implemented. - Packet encoding now happens ahead of time when possible to avoid delays before sending it. - Source should now always produce complete (padded) buffers to avoid sync problems. - Don't set unnecessary socket options. * GStreamer: - The pipewiresrc now has an autoconnect argument. - The metadata plane count is now handled correctly in more cases. - Stream errors are now handled correctly to stop the GStreamer elements. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Feb 28 13:08:53 UTC 2023 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com> - add a suggests on the pipewire-jack packages to avoid the jack versions getting picked for dependency resolution ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Feb 16 13:08:02 UTC 2023 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Update to version 0.3.66: * Highlights - Fix a regression in the pulseaudio module-combine-stream because the new module-combine-stream was not installed. - PipeWire can now generate a limits.d config file with our recommended settings for priorities and memlock. - Modules, exec and objects can now be loaded depending on conditions. One example is the X11-bell module that can now be disabled with a custom property override. - Filter-chain has a new mysofa based spacialiser plugin. - Support was added for different clocks that allow the RTP modules to work with a PTP clock, for example. - Many bugfixes and improvements. * PipeWire - Avoid rate switches when the graph is idle. - The rate selection algorithm was improved. This ensures minimal performance and quality loss when resampling. - The default min.quantum was set to 32 again after it got erronously changed to (the too low) 16 in version 0.3.45. - Fix compilation issues with rust bindings because of macros in defines. Work around it for now. - Invalid file mappings are now refused. - Modules, exec and objects can now be loaded depending on conditions. One example is the X11-bell module that can now be disabled with a custom property override. - Filter now also supports _trigger_process() to drive the graph. - TID is now added to the journald log. - PipeWire generates and installs `/etc/security/limits.d/25-pw-rlimits.conf` that by default contains project's recommended settings. Creation of the pipewire group is left to the distro or user ( `groupadd -r pipewire` ). See the rlimits-* Meson options for controlling this behaviour. - Additionally there is now by default disabled Meson option that will install `/etc/security/limits.d/20-pw-defaults.conf` with the current Linux default memlock value. Distros with only kernels >=5.16 or always using systemd v251 or newer do not need this. But all other builds should set the `-Dpam-defaults-install=true` Meson option to ensure that the memlock value is always large enough. * modules - Install module-combine-stream. - RTP source now has support for custom channel names. - RTP source will now stop when inactive. - Filter-chain has a new mysofa based spacializer plugin. - The RTP modules can now use direct clock timestamps to send and receive packets. This makes it possible to synchronise sender and receiver with a PTP clock, for example. - Filter-chain now has an invert plugin to invert the polarity of a signal. * SPA - There is now an option to set the channels used for probing Pro Audio devices. This could unlock more samplerates for some devices when they are probed with fewer channels. - Support was added for other clocks than the MONOTONIC clock in the driver nodes. This can be used to synchronise the graph to a PTP clock, for example. - The ALSA source has some more headroom when rate matching to avoid stuttering when following another driver. - libcamera controls are now mapped to standard PipeWire property values. - The channelmixer has seen some improvements. MONO and undefined channel layouts are now upmixed and downmixed more correctly. * Bluetooth - Many BAP support fixes. * GStreamer - The gstreamer elements now support buffer video metadata so that strides are correctly handled. - pipewiresrc will now error out correctly in more cases. * JACK - The frame to/from time functions are improved to also work with negative time and frame offsets. - Drop patches already included upstream: * 0001-modules-also-install-module-combine-stream.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jan 26 12:21:31 UTC 2023 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Update to version 0.3.65: * Highlights - Add back the deprecated symbols but make sure a deprecated warning is emitted for them. This fixes compilation issues in bindings. - Fix an error in the AVX code that could cause crackling in filter-chain when using the mixer. - The convolver in filter-chain can now select an IR from a list of IRs that best matches the current samplerate. Also resampling of the IR has been improved. - A new native module-combine-stream was added. You can use this to create a 5.1 device from 3 stereo soundcards, for example, or direct the output to multiple sinks at once. - Support for Bluetooth MIDI was added. This requires a wireplumber addition as well. - An ALSA plugin rule was added to tweak the buffer settings in Davinci Resolve so that it now runs with acceptable latency. - Support for compress offload was added using tinycompress. This allows compressed formats to be decoded in hardware using ALSA on some devices. - Many more buffixes and improvements. * PipeWire - Add back the deprecated symbols but make sure a deprecated warning is emitted for them. - Fix a regression when running older servers and newer clients (such as flatpaks on older server) where the server would run clients too soon, causing crashes. - Ensure that environment variables override any config values. * Tools - pw-cli has received some improvements in the output. - pw-cat can now use ffmpeg to demux streams for compress offload. * modules - The convolver IR volume is now preserved after resampling. - Adapter ports can now have a custom prefix. - module-rt now clamps the realtime priority to the user allowed one if it is within an acceptable range. Before it would fall back to RTKit immediately. - The module-echo-cancel can now have per stream channel layouts which makes it possible to link to specific audio ports on a device. - Fix an error in the AVX code that could cause crackling in filter-chain when using the mixer. - The convolver in filter-chain can now select an IR from a list of IRs that best matches the current sample-rate. - module-pipe-* now better matches the pulseaudio properties. - A new combine-stream module was added to combine multiple sinks into one sink. It is also possible to merge multiple sources into one. - module-rtp-source now has match rules to select what SAP sessions to stream from. There were also improvements to the buffering and latency handling. - module-rtp-sink now handles multicast loopback correctly. - module-rtp-sink implements min-ptime and max-ptime to control the send packet latency. * SPA - A new modifier flag was added to the video format parser helper to allow 0 (linear) as a valid modifier. - Params includes were reorganized to make it more scalable. Many compressed audio formats were added. - The alsa pcm plugin now handles invalid values from the driver gracefully. - Fix some potential stuttering cause by wrong scaling and overflow of the output buffers in audioconvert. - Debug output is now also sent to the log instead of stdout. - A debug context was added to debug macros to implement custom debug handling. This is used to redirect the debug of pods to the debug log instead of using some custom duplicated code. - Fix some warnings for potentially undefined shifts in format conversion. - Support for compress offload was added using tinycompress. This is mostly used on some embedded hardware where decoding of audio formats can be done in hardware. * Bluetooth - Some fixes for LE audio were added. - Support for Bluetooth MIDI was added. This requires a wireplumber addition as well. - Reply OK to empty commands. - Improve compatibility with some devices that send stray \n such as the Sennheiser HD 350BT. * pulse-server - Devices with unsupported formats (by the pulseaudio API) are now also listed in the pulseaudio API (with invalid formats). - The native module-combine-stream is used for module-combine-sink. * JACK - Make jack.merge-monitor default to true to better match the jack1/2 behaviour. Add an exception for mixxx, which is more usable with unmerged monitors. * ALSA - The property handling in the ALSA plugin was improved. alsa.properties and alsa.rules can now be added to the config file. - A rule was added to tweak the buffer settings in Davinci Resolve so that it can run with acceptable latency. - ALSA volume will now also use cubic volumes, like pulseaudio. - The ALSA ctl plugin now also uses the client-rt.conf file. - A new alsa.volume-method was added to configure cubic or linear volume. This can be set per application using the rules. * GStreamer - pipewiresrc will now advertise DMABUF support if the pipeline supports this. - pipewiresrc will now always be a live source unless told otherwise. - Drop reduce-meson-dependency.patch: openSUSE Leap 15.3 is no longer supported. - Add patch to install module-combine-stream: * 0001-modules-also-install-module-combine-stream.patch - Drop patches already included upstream: * 0001-cpu-arm-Fix-incorrect-free.patch * 0001-alsa-guard-against-some-invalid-values.patch * 0001-spa-Fix-audioconvert-overflow-when-scaling.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jan 17 08:28:49 UTC 2023 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add patch from upstream to avoid division by 0 and other issues with invalid values (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2953): * 0001-alsa-guard-against-some-invalid-values.patch - Add patch from upstream to fix causing an overflow resulting in choppy sound in some cases (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2680): * 0001-spa-Fix-audioconvert-overflow-when-scaling.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jan 16 08:21:05 UTC 2023 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add patch from upstream to fix a crash on arm: * 0001-cpu-arm-Fix-incorrect-free.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jan 13 07:46:11 UTC 2023 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.64: * Highlights - Clear old buffer memory on ports to fix some SIGBUS errors. - It is now possible to assign custom port names to the ports from an adapter. This feature is helpful to those who use a multichannel interface with long-term connections. This way they can label each port with its designation, such as an instrument name or anything else to be displayed in a patchbay or DAW. - Fix some issues with node suspend and quantum and rate calculations. - Fix some regressions in pulse-tunnel and RTP-source adaptive resampling that could cause synchronization problems. - UCM devices now also have a Pro Audio profile. - NODE_TARGET (with the object.id) is now deprecated, use TARGET_OBJECT (with the object.serial, which is not reused and can avoid races). * PipeWire - Clear all peer input port buffers when suspending. This fixes some SIGBUS errors when some plugins were using old memory. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2914) - Fix a case where nodes that were not supposed to be suspended, were kept suspended on a rate change. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2929) - Fix an error in the quantum and rate calculations that could cause nodes to run with wrong quantum and rates when multiple rates were allowed. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2925) * Tools - pw-dump will now sort dictionaries to make it easier to compare different outputs. - Improve output of pw-reserve. - pw-loopback uses TARGET_OBJECT so you will need to use the serial id (or better the name) as the target instead of the object id. * modules - The filter-chain modules has seen some cleanups, refactoring and optimizations in the various DSP functions. - The ROC module now supports setting a custom samplerate. - ROC 0.2.X is now required. - The pulse tunnel and RTP source were not updating the rate field correctly which could cause synchronization problems.

Badly behaving clients will then not keep the graph and device busy so that devices can be suspended to save battery. This should give better default behaviour with speech-dispatcher. * JACK - Add an option to configure the filter character. - Fix connect_callbacks.

This avoids regressions caused by audioconvert. - Drop patches already included upstream: * 0001-audioconvert-ensure-temp-buffers-are-large-enough.patch - Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jul 1 14:25:49 UTC 2022 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Add a patch from upstream to fix segmentation faults in MPV: * 0001-audioconvert-ensure-temp-buffers-are-large-enough.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jun 30 10:40:53 UTC 2022 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Update to version 0.3.53: * Highlights - The 44.1KHz samplerate was removed again from the defaults, it caused all kinds of problems with various hardware. - The ALSA plugin should now be able to deal with unsupported samplerates and fall back to the nearest supported one. - The audioconvert plugin was rewritten to be more maintainable and quicker. It also gained support for control ports and dithering with optional noise shaping. - An impossible buffering situation is avoided in pulse-server that would cause some applications (sunshine, ...) to stutter. * PipeWire - 44.1KHz was removed from the allowed rates again. It caused all kinds of regressions due to driver bugs and timing issues on HDMI. * modules - filter-chain now does some more error checking and reporting to avoid some crashes. - filter-chain now supports more channel layouts for input and output that does not need to match the plugin layout. - Format parsing is now more consistent in the modules. * Tools - pw-cli can now also work without readline support. - pw-cat can now also read multichannel ulaw/alaw/u8/s8. * SPA - The audioconvert plugin was rewritten. This should make it more maintainable. It also fixed some issues such as CPU spikes in some cases and crashes in others. The old plugins were removed, for a code reduction of some 6000 lines. - The audioconvert plugin now supports control ports, which can be enabled on nodes in the session manager. This makes it possible to control audioconvert properties using timed events or midi. - NoteOn 0-velocity MIDI events are no longer filtered out. This is a valid event, nodes that can't deal with it should fix it up themselves. The JACK layer still filters out these events by default but this can now be configured with a per-client property. - The running status on midi events is now disabled to match what JACK does. - The ALSA plugin will now deal with driver bugs when a driver announces support for a samplerate but then refuses to use it later. - The ALSA plugin has been optimized a little for sample IO. - V4L2 now doesn't error when there are no controls. - Error handling was improved in the audio converter. - The audioconvert plugin now supports rectangular dithering and noise shaping. - The audioconvert plugin can now insert additional inaudible noise that can be used to keep some amplifiers alive. - The audioconvert format conversion was changed so that it now produces the full 32 bits range in the C fallback conversion code as well. - The resampler window function was changed to a cosh() window function. - Vendor and device id are now in hex. * pulse-server - Tweak the record buffer attributes some more and make sure we don't end up in impossible buffering situations. Fixes an issue with distorted sound in sunshine. - Fix a potential crash when updating the client property list. - Some properties on cards were aligned with pulseaudio. - Drop patches already included upstream: * 0001-settings-remove-44.1KHz-from-allowed-rates-again.patch - Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jun 22 17:47:19 UTC 2022 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add patch from upstream to remove 44.1kHz from allowed rates.

This assumption is removed in Pro Audio mode. This provide a better experience out of the box with most devices. * JACK - Fix setting properties with PIPEWIRE_PROPS again. - Don't use 64 bits atomic operations for sync_timeout. - Cleanup in error cases was improved, avoiding some crashes. * GStreamer - Fix pipewiresink in mode=provide. - Share memory into a new buffer in pipewiresrc to avoid buffer corruption. - Fixes to the source and fd use. - It is now possible to set client properties as well. - Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 28 23:13:59 UTC 2022 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Update to version 0.3.51: * Highlights - Improve graph reconfiguration. - Extra configuration options for streams and filters with config rules and environment variable. - Improve module-pulse-tunnel latency, stability and error recovery. - pw-top, pw-cli and pw-link improvements. - Fix a channelmixer upmixing clipping issue. - The ROC module has seen many improvements. - Many more bugfixes and improvements. * PipeWire - The graph reconfiguration code was reworked: * Moved nodes will update the new driver quantum correctly. * Inactive nodes are ignored more. * Nodes that require a driver are now not scheduled anymore when they are passive (unused). * Improved performance, the graph is reconfigured with a minimal amount of changes. - Method and event argument names were improved. - A linker garbage collection problem was fixed. - Properties on threads are now implemented. Use common code to set thread name and add an option to set stack-size. - Streams and filters always want a driver now. This makes it possible to just link a playback stream to a capture stream without a driver and have it work. - Streams and filters can now also have rules in the config file. - Streams, filters, JACK, ALSA and v4l2 now support PIPEWIRE_PROPS environment variable to override node properties. - Add config section extensions. This provides a way for modules to have specific config to override the default config. - Handle realloc errors better. - Improve stream and filter property updates. * Modules - The pulse-tunnel modules has improved latency management and should now work a lot better. - Module-loopback, module-echo-cancel, module-filter-chain unload the module when a stream is destroyed. - Biquads in filter-chain now can have more gain (5->20 dB). - Filter-chain now has a builtin delay line filter. - Filter-chain can now parse the config key correctly in all cases. - The ROC sink and source saw many improvements. roc-source is now a stream by default that connects to the default sink. Both modules will try to set a graph rate. Both modules have an option to select the FEC mode. The ROC source has lower latency now. - Handle realloc errors better. * tools - pw-cat does not have --list-targets anymore, use one of the more advanced and less buggy tools such as wpctl or pw-cli to list sinks and sources. - pw-top has seen many improvements. * It now has some timeouts to reset the node values to their default state when unused. * The man page was improved. * Invalid timings and errors are displayed in a better way. - pw-cli and pw-link can now create links between all ports of given nodes. - pw-cat can now save to other file formats than wav, based on the extension of the filename. * SPA - The resampler now uses a different internal method for draining. It can now also handle 0 size buffers as input without draining. - The channelmixer now uses the front channel averages for FC and LFE. This avoids clipping and results in much better upmixing. - ALSA should now work again on 32 bits. (#2271) - The JSON parser now converts escaped unicode correctly to UTF8. * bluetooth - Codec switch improvements when the device is disconnected. * pulse-server - There is a new module-roc-sink-input module, the PulseAudio equivalent. - The ROC source and sink-input module now have a much lower latency. - The ROC module now has an option to select FEC mode. - Playback and record rate adjustements should work now. * JACK - Remove some useless pthread attributes. This makes JACK work in QEMU with sandboxing enabled. - The buffer_size callback is now only called when something has changed since the last process() callback or get_buffer_size() method. This fixes a GStreamer issue and is more in line with what JACK does. - Fix a potential deadlock when the process thread is doing IPC and the IPC thread is blocking on the data thread. - Allocation errors in metadata are handled better. - Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 14 11:26:22 UTC 2022 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Update to version 0.3.50: * Highlights - pw-stream can now report more timing information and can suggest the optimal number of samples to queue for playback. - pw-dot now works again. - module-pulse-tunnel latency was improved. - Wine applications using the JACK backend should no longer crash. - The channelmixer defaults are improved and the muffled sound when playing back 5.1 and 7.1 material has been fixed. - Many fixes and improvements. * PipeWire - pw-stream now places a suggested amount of samples in the pw-buffer for playback. This allows you to remove some places where spa_io_rate_match was needed to get this information. - pw-stream has new API to request a timing update. New fields are added in the timing info, such as number of buffered samples in the resampler and the number of queued and dequeued buffers. - pw-stream has support for double controls now. More controls are exposed such as the Rate control to do adaptive resampling. - The thread-utils object was moved to the context to avoid some concurrent use cases that caused crashes. - Deactivating an exported node/stream will now remove the node from the data-thread immediately so that the process function will not be called anymore and resources can be safely freed. This could fix some of the last remaining crashes when streams are stopped. - PipeWire will now fail to load a module that tries to register the same export type twice instead of silently doing the wrong thing. * Modules - Many modules now use the NODE_WANT_DRIVER instead of the pipewire.dummy NODE_GROUP property. This makes it possible to use them with any other driver and can avoid resampling in some cases. - module-pulse-tunnel now uses an adaptive resampler to keep the latency under control. Latency should be much better than before and stay constant even when there are network delays. - There is now an option for packages to disable building the RTKit module, which is still built by default for backwards compatibility reasons. - A leak was fixed in filter-chain. - Module node names are now made more unique with the pid. * tools - pw-cat verbose output has been improved. - pw-link now has a man page. - pw-reserve now has an -r option to make it issue a RequestRelease command on the owner of the device. This makes it possible to ask WirePlumber to close and release a device. - Fix pw-dot again. It didn't work anymore because of stray done events that were emitted to notify the client of object serials. * SPA - The channelmixer now has PSD upmixing enabled again. We used the simple upmixing in the previous release but that just sounds too awful to be a good default. - The channelmixer will not upmix FC and LFE anymore when upmixing is explicitly disabled. - The channelmixer will only lowpass filter FC and LFE channels when they were upmixed. - The defaults of the channelmixer were tweaked a little. There is now a little bit more bass in the LFE channel and more high fequencies in the FC channel when upmixing. Also the channel widening has been disabled by default. - Locale independent float parsing now uses a more portable solution with uselocale. - ALSA will now only allocate a buffer size big enough to hold 4 times the quantum limit instead of as large as possible. * pulse-server - Internal cleanups in handling of modules. - A quirk to force s16 sample formats for teams-insider has been added. * JACK - The data-loop is now started in activate and stopped in deactivate. This makes the data-loop respect any custom thread functions you configure. This also makes Wine apps using the JACK backend work. - Port sorting was improved/fixed. - Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch. - Require RealtimeKit. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 29 15:09:49 UTC 2022 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Reorder BuildRequires and space conditions a bit better in the spec file. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 29 07:56:08 UTC 2022 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.49: * Highlights - Sample rate switching should work again. - pw-dot can now use the output of pw-dump to render a graph. - Bluetooth A2DP streaming was improved that would reduce stuttering on some devices. - A JACK bug was fixed that would sometimes make it impossible to add more tracks in Ardour.

Improve the test framework for this as well. - Improvements to the poll loop to avoid some use-after-free scenarios. - Fix samplerate switching again. - setlocale is not called anymore from the pipewire library. This should be called by the application. (#2223) - pw_init() and pw_deinit() can now be nested and called multiple times. - pw_stream will now report the resampler delay in the pw_time.queued field. * modules - module-filter-chain now supports arbitrary many properties and will use property hints to assign them the right type. - The ROC modules now accept a sink/source_properties parameter. - The module-rt can now also be built without RT-Kit support. - module-echo-cancel can now use a fraction to specify the delay for more precise control. * SPA - The channelmixer will now do upmixing by default and will not use normalization. It will also use a simple upmixing algorithm that duplicates channels by default. A more interesting upmix method is also available (PSD) but needs to be enabled manually. (#861) - Add SSE optimized (de)interleave functions for 32 bits samples with and without byteswap. - JSON parsing of empty strings will now give an invalid number instead of 0. - JSON numbers are now parsed and serialized in a locale independent way so that , and . are not mixed up. - The resampler will now report the resample delay and queued samples as the extra delay. * tools - pw-cat will read more dsf files correctly and will not crash at the end. - pw-top now has a man page. - pw-dot can now use the output of pw-dump to render a graph. * bluetooth - Improve interactions with oFono. - Fix recovery with slow connections. - Improve frame size of AptX-ll. - A2DP can now use any quantum and will flush packets in smaller chunks when needed to adapt. This improves stuttering in some cases. * pulse-server - The server configuration can now be placed in pulse.properties section, which also makes it possible to have custom overrides. - Implement FIX_ flags for capture as well. - Small fixes and improvements in module loading. * JACK - Clear the last error before executing a new action or else we could end up with error from a previous action. This causes some problems in Ardour where adding a track would fail after some time. (#1714) - Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 3 11:10:53 UTC 2022 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Update to version 0.3.48: * Highlights - Fix IEC958 passthrough again. - Fix pulse-server crashes when playing a sample. - Support for more a more advanced upmixing algorithm. - filter-chain now supports arbitrary many ports. - Fix multichannel support in WINE (with new WirePlumber). - Many bugfixes and improvements. * PipeWire - The work queue is now created in the context so we can fail early and avoid further error checking in various places. - Fix a potential use after free with threaded loops. - The protocol now has a message footer. This is used to pass around global state such as the last registered object serial number. This can be used to detect when a client tries to bind to old (but reused) object ids. This avoids some races in the session manager but also when binding objects. - The zero-denormals CPU flag is now not touched anymore unless explicitly selected by the user. Denormals are avoided in filter-chain now in software. If the zero-denormals are now only configured in the data thread. This should fix issues with luajit. - Configuration parsing will not actually fail on errors. - pw-top now correctly clips unicode characters. - Many places now use a dynamic POD builder to support arbitrary large property sets. - pw-stream now support PropInfo parameters so that they can announce custom properties. - Serial number are now also set on metadata and session-manager objects. * SPA - audioadapter is now smarter when trying to fixate the format. It will use the PortConfig format to fill in any wildcards. This results in the least amount of conversions when the stream can handle it. It also is part of a fix (also requires a session manager fix) for WINE multichannel support. - Fix 5.1 to 2 channels mixing. It was using the volume of the stereo pair on all channels. - Fix some weird volume issues when a source is capturing and channelmixing. - Add stereo to 7.1 upmixing. - The channelmix parameters can be changed at runtime now. - Many improvements to the upmixing algorithms. Rear channels are now constructed from the ambient sound and can have delay and phase shift applied to them to improve spacialisation. The stereo channels can be filtered so that the dialogue is more concentrated in the centre channel. * modules - Module X11 bell received cleanups and improvements. - The module now has a private method to schedule unload later. This simplifies cleanup in many modules. - module-filter-chain now handles arbitrary many ports and control ports. - Fix a bug in RAOP where it was reading from the wrong port. * pulse-server - Nodes with the DONT_MOVE property should fail with -EINVAL when they are moved. - Fix a segfault when playing a sample. - The _FIX flags in pulse-server also now ignore the configured sample format, just like pulseaudio does. - Fix IEC958 passthrough again. It got accidentally broken since 0.3.45 with a fix for another issue. - Fix module-null-sink device.description. * Bluetooth - Don't try to connect HSP/HFP when no backend is available. - Drop patches already included upstream: * 0001-revert-loop-remove-destroy-list.patch * 0002-pulse-server-free-pending-sample-reply.patch - Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch. - Enable pulseaudio-setup use on openSUSE Leap 15.4. - Some spec clean-up. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Feb 21 12:24:26 UTC 2022 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Add 0001-revert-loop-remove-destroy-list.patch: fix MPD crash. - Add 0002-pulse-server-free-pending-sample-reply.patch: fix "fast volume change". ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Feb 18 14:06:20 UTC 2022 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Update to version 0.3.47: * Fix a bug in pulse-server that caused cached notifications to play multiple times. * Remove a check and warnings to catch leaked listeners on the proxy.

This makes sure that all dynamic quantum changes are disabled while a JACK app is running. The only way to force a quantum chance is through a JACK app or with the metadata. - Almost all limits on number of ports, clients and nodes are removed. - A Dummy fallback sink is now automatically created when there are no other sinks. This avoids stalling browsers. - Sound sharing with Zoom should work better. A new WirePlumber release might be required. - Many more fixes and improvements. * PipeWire - Update docs with new config overrides. - The rule matching logic was moved to config and code is now shared with pulse-server and JACK. - Add new Romanian translation. - When a quantum is forced with metadata, any node that asked to lock-quantum is ignored so that the quantum change can happen. - Fix a bug where a mixer was removed twice, leading to potential memory corruption. - The port limits on nodes and filters are now removed. Some code was simplified. - Fix a potential leak because listeners where removed while they could be emitted. - Improve context.exec and avoid zombie processes. * Modules - The RAOP module now has a default latency of 2 seconds, like PulseAudio. - The echo-cancel module now uses the plugin loader to load the backends. This makes it possible to add custom, out of tree, echo cancel plugins. * Tools - Improve help of pw-link. - Output to stdout and error to stderr. Use setlinebuf for stdout to improve piping between apps. (#2110) * SPA - Improve removing sources when dispatching. Also improve performance now that a destroy loop can be removed. (#2114) - Fix an fd leak in the logger when logging to a file. - Improve loop enter/leave checks and support recursive loops. * pulse-server - Clamp various buffer attributes to the max length.

Use the right index when loaded from our internal modules. (#2101) - Improve argument parsing and node.description. (#2086) - The sink-index should now be filled in correctly when playing a sample. (#2129) - module-always-sink is now implemented and loaded by default. (#1838) - Add support for loading some modules only once. - Module load and unload now does extra sync to make it appear synchronous, like in PulseAudio. This improves sounds sharing in Zoom. * ALSA - Fix critical bug where alsa devices would not show when the kernel was compiled without VERBOSE_PROCFS. - Some corner cases were fixed in the ALSA timing code. When the capture node is follower, it will now not try to read too much data and xrun but it will instead produce a cycle of silence. - Various fixes and improvements to make ALSA devices resync to the driver more quickly and accurately. * JACK - Add an option to name the default device as system to improve compatibility with some applications, - Use lock-quantum by default. This makes sure that all dynamic quantum changes are disabled while a JACK app is running. The only way to force a quantum chance is through a JACK app or with the metadata. - It is now possible to do IPC calls from the data thread. Note that this is a very bad idea but required for compatibility with JACK2. * GStreamer - GStreamer sink will now set a default channelmap to make it possible to remap to the channel layout of the device. - Update patch for further uses of "new" meson features used by upstream: * reduce-meson-dependency.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Feb 15 09:47:31 UTC 2022 - Alois Wohlschlager <alois1@gmx-topmail.de> - Run ldconfig for pipewire-libjack-0_3 * The JACK libraries are made available system-wide using /etc/ld.so.conf.d.

(#207) - resource error methods can be called without a resource and then just log an error message. - link-factory can now also work from the config. (#2095) * modules - module-simple-protocol has better argument parsing and can handle channelmap now. (#2068) It's also possible to configure latency and rate. - The native protocol now does extra checks for invalid data. (#2070) * ALSA - TI2902 chips as found in various Behringer cards should have inputs again. - Better handling of busy devices in udev, retry when the inotify close event is emited. * SPA - plugins now handle alignment properly and only expect the max alignment required for the CPU. (#2074) * Bluetooth - SBC-XQ is now enabled for the JBL Endurance RUN BT headset. - Support for non-hexadecimal XAPL version strings to improve compatibility. - Use HCI commands again to probe the adapter msbc capability. This improves compatibility with some adapters. (#2030) - Set the right startup volume. - Better A2DP source idle handling. - Fix a timer bug in SCO sink that could cause busy looping. * pulse-server - A playback issue when the tlength > maxlength was fixed. (#2069) This affected Zoom and other applications. - The STREAM_BUFFER_ATTR command is now implemented. - Module names are improved. (#2076) - Many small fixes and improvements. - Fix a pavucontrol crash with invalid channels. (#1442) * JACK - Use the new force-quantum and force-rate properties in the JACK API to switch quantum and ensure it can't change for the lifetime of the JACK app. (#2079) - Rebase patch: * reduce-meson-dependency.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Feb 1 14:23:13 UTC 2022 - Dario Faggioli <dfaggioli@suse.com> - pipewire should be a true dependency, not just recommended (e.g., so that any setup that use no-recommends, like MicroOS, also work) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jan 27 14:04:28 UTC 2022 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add patch to reduce the meson requirement so we can build pipewire with Leap 15.3. This will be dropped as soon as Leap 15.4 is released or if it becomes too hard to maintain (whatever happens before): * reduce-meson-dependency.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jan 27 10:45:39 UTC 2022 - Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru> - Update to version 0.3.44: * Highlights: - It is now possible to run a minimal PipeWire server without a session manager, enough to run JACK clients. - The maximum buffer size is now configurable and can be larger than the previously hardcoded limit of 8192 samples. When using high sample rates, the larger buffer size can avoid xruns. - The default maximum latency was reduced from 170ms to 42ms. This should improve overall latency for application that ask for a large latency, such as notifications. - Better JACK compatibility. Patchbays should now get less confused about ports appearing and disappearing. - Fix some bluetooth crashes. - Fix some races in ALSA device detection. - Many bug fixes and improvements all over the place. * PipeWire: - Bump the meson requirement to 0.59.0. - pw-top now reports correct times for filter-chain and loopback. - max-quantum is now also scaled with the rate. A new quantum-limit property was added as a hard limit for the quantum. This makes it possible to configure for larger than 8192 buffer sizes. Note than many JACK applications have a hardcoded 8192 limit. - The max-quantum was reduced to 2048, This gives a 42ms default latency. - pw-filter can now return a NULL buffer from _get_dsp_buffer() - Add a PIPEWIRE_RATE and PIPEWIRE_QUANTUM env variable to set the graph rate and the graph quantum and rate respectively. - Fix a potential file descriptor leak in the connection. - A new minimal.conf file was added to demonstrate a static setup of a daemon that doesn't require a session manager and is able to run JACK applicaions. - Nice levels are now only changed on the servers, not the clients. - Add an option to suspend nodes when idle. - Make it possible to avoid quantum and rate changes with pw-metadata. This is essential in a locked down system. - Handle mixer port errors better and fail to create the link instead of silently not working. - Nodes that are moved to a driver now have all the linked nodes moved as well. This makes it possible to run some graphs without a driver, such as paplay -> zita-j2n. - pw-cli and pw-dump can now also list objects by name, serial and object.path using glob style pattern matching. * modules: - filter-chain can now also configure parameters by index. - Fix the client name of module-protocol-simple. - module-rtkit was merged into module-rt. This makes it easier to ship a default config that works on more systems by default. - module-adapter can now configure the adapter node from the config. Previously, this was a task only performed by the session manager. - module-metadata can now also create metadata object from the config file. - The ROC module should now work again. - An X11-bell module was added to handle X11 bell events. - filter-chain and loopback modules now have better unique default names for the streams, which makes it possible to save and restore their volumes independently. - module-echo-cancel now has properties to control the delay and buffer size. * ALSA: - The monitor names are now correctly parsed. - The default period size for batch devices is limited now to avoid large latency. - The unused min/max-latency properties were removed. - Internal latency is now also configurable with params at runtime. - The udev rule for TI2902 was removed because it causes problems. - Fix a race where some devices would sometimes be missing. - Add some more timeouts to work around a race in udev device permission changes when switching VTs. * SPA: - Fix potential infinite loop in audioconvert. - The spa-resample tools can now also use optimised implementations. - Fix a potential crash in resampler. - audioconvert can now also handle F64 formats. - The channelmixer now does normalization by default to avoid clipping when downmixing is active. - The channelmixer will now generate LFE channels when the lfe_cutoff frequency is set, even when upmix is disabled. - The channelmixer will now always generate FC when the target has it. - Adapter now reports latency correctly, even after linking the monitor ports. - Reduce memory usage and preallocated memory in some of the audioconvert nodes. - Many properties are now exposed in adapter, such as the resample quality. - The resampler and channelmixer can now be disabled. * V4L2: - pw-v4l2 now also works for ffplay. - Take product names from udev now that the kernel returns generic name. * JACK: - The jack pkgconfig file now has the jack_implementation=pipewire variable to be able to distinguish jack implementations. - jconvolver now starts correctly again. - The object.serial is now used for the port_id. This makes it easier to track old objects in the cache. - Add a dummy jacknet implementation. - A bug in the port allocation was fixed that would make it impossible to allocate ports at some point. * Bluetooth: - Bluetooth profiles are now saved properly by the session manager. - Improved profile detections, increased timeouts for slow devices. - Implement HFP call indicator for improved compatibility. - Handle the case where bluez does not set the adapter or address properties on the device instead of crashing. - Improved support for setting the profile from the session manager. * pulse-server: - Monitor sources now have the device.class=monitor for better compatibility. - Behaviour after seeking is improved. The algorithm for requesting bytes from the client was simplified and improved. - module-ladspa-sink implements the control argument now. - A potential memory leak in the message queue was fixed. - Use the object.serial for the pulseaudio object index. The index is not supposed to be reused and this would cause problems with some clients. - Servers should now again be able to listen in IPv4. - module-x11-bell was added. - There is now support for per-application quirks and properties in the pipewire-pulse.conf file. Per-application latency and buffering properties can also be configured. - Fix a regression in telegram sounds not playing. - Drop patches already included upstream: * 0001-alsa-improve-rate-selection.patch * 0001-audioconvert-avoid-infinite-loop.patch * 0001-bluez5-dont-create-device-if-adapter-is-missing.patch * 0001-bluez5-handle-missing-device-and-adapter-in-quirks.patch * 0001-jack-remember-last-return-from-jack_get_buffer_size.patch * 0001-loop-invoke-immediately-when-loop-is-not-running.patch * 0001-merger-also-reconfigure-when-monitor-changes.patch * 0001-pulse-server-show-monitor-sources-with-device_class_monitor.patch * 0001-pw-metadata-handle-NULL-props-from-metadata-object.patch * 0001-raop-fix-errno-check.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jan 19 16:49:42 UTC 2022 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add several more patches from upstream - BlueZ may be missing adapter information for devices in some cases.

This fixes startup of jconvolver. * 0001-jack-remember-last-return-from-jack_get_buffer_size.patch - Better emulation of pulseaudio which shows monitor sources with device.class=monitor so now pipewire does that too: * 0001-pulse-server-show-monitor-sources-with-device_class_monitor.patch - Fix an errno check: * 0001-raop-fix-errno-check.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jan 12 12:48:21 UTC 2022 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Added more baselibs packages and their dependencies ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jan 5 16:23:30 UTC 2022 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com> - Update to version 0.3.43: * Highlights: - Flatpak apps such as Ardour can now remove links again. - Many fixes to pulse-server. Memory usage should be improved. Some crashes are fixed. Underrun handling should work better. Better compatibility with GStreamer based applications after seeking. - Many of the samplerate and quantum changes bugs in previous releases were fixed. This fixes some issues where the microphone would fail to work. - Many more small fixes and improvements all over the place. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 16 16:42:31 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Revert the merge of spa-plugins and modules into the library package. - Move some of the files between packages where they make more sense. - Rename the modules subpackage to modules-%{apiver_str} so it can be versioned more easily (there still are some unversioned files in the package, but it's a step in the right direction) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 16 14:03:56 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Remove unneccesary Conflicts with packages that are Obsoleted ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 16 12:32:49 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.42: * Highlights - Fixes a bug in pulse-server underrun handling that broke qemu and orca. - A fix was added to pulse-server to handle quantum changes gracefully. - Fix module-echo-cancel again. - Fix a bug where the bluetooth headset capture was producing noise. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Dec 15 13:28:10 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Remove the dependency on wireplumber-audio which was pulling in pulseaudio. We'll require wireplumber-audio directly from wireplumber. - Remove pipewire-rpmlintrc since the filters don't apply anymore ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Dec 15 13:27:44 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Merge the pipewire-spa-plugins-0_2 and pipewire-modules packages into the libpipewire package just as the fedora packages do and simplify the filelist a bit by using some recursive listing instead of explicitly listing all files. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Dec 13 10:33:29 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Use the gcc9-c++ compiler in SLE/Leap so it builds successfully. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Dec 13 09:45:21 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.41: * Highlights - Improved compatibility for flatpaks. Flatpaks with newer PipeWire version can connect to an older server in all cases. - A new RAOP module was added to stream to Apple Airplay devices. - OBS can now capture from the monitor devices again when using WirePlumber. - Improved JACK compatibility. Improved stability in Carla and Ardour when changing buffer size. Improved latency calculations and playback latency in Ardour. - Improved pulse-server handling of underruns and buffer size changes. - Many bugfixes and improvements. * PipeWire - The systemd service files now have better names. - client.access permission checks are improved. - Fix some memory leaks in error paths. - Objects now have a global serial number that is unique for the lifetime of the server. - Make clock.rate, clock.allowed-rates and clock.quantum runtime tunable parameters with the settings metadata. - Add some additional memory checks in client-node to avoid sending invalid memory to clients. (#1859) - Improve buffer memory allocation. If one of the nodes is a remote node, ensure we only use memory that can be shared. - Version checks when binding to objects is removed. This means that newer clients can now bind to older servers, which is a typical case for a flatpak. - A bug in the latency calculations was fixed where it would in some cases report the wrong minumum latency. * modules - module-echo-cancel has voice-detection enabled now. - module-raop-sink and module-raop-discover to stream audio to an Apple Airplay device. - module-filter-chain now has preliminary support for LV2 plugins. * SPA - The audio resampler now has improved buffer size calculations. In some cases it was too small and would cause distortions. - More checks are done when doing volume changes so that the channelmap is correct. - Audioadapter now exposes most config options with params so that they can be adjusted at runtime. - The resampler can now calculate the expected input buffer size before receiving the first buffer, which avoids some confusion when starting streams. - Support was added for some 10bit video formats. - MONO channel handling was improved. - Most plugins now set a clock name and this is configurable where it makes sense. The clock.system.monotonic clock name is used for most plugins that use the system clock for timing. * pulse-server - implement module-raop-discover - Use STREAM_CAPTURE_SINK property when capturing from a monitor source to better inform the session manager. This fixes some issues where OBS would capture from the microphone instead of the output monitor. - Limit the amount of cache messages to 16MB and don't add large memory blocks to the cache. This should fix some excessive memory usage that people reported. - Fix a potential memory leak when cleaning up a client. - Do some additional checks to avoid buffer overruns. - Improve recovery from underruns better. (#1857) This improves seeking in gnome-music. - Improve recovery when the quantum is forced larger that the stream configured latency. - The prebuf state is now handled correctly. * JACK - A per type object cache is now implemented. This ensures that port objects remain valid for a longer time because many JACK applications inspect objects after they are destroyed. This improves catia/carla compatibility. - Recompute the latencies when the buffer-size changes. Fix some cases where we would end up with negative latencies. - Handle regcomp errors to avoid some crashes later. - Latency calculations are improved a lot. - More care is taken to not call a process callback while a buffer size change is pending. This fixes some crashes in Carla, which expect that all clients are paused when one handles the buffersize callback. - Loopback links to a client are now handled correctly and without latency. This fixes playback latency in ardour6 (#1839) * ALSA - ALSA devices now keep track of the samplerate of the card and ensure that all PCM use the same rate. This is a workaround for a kernel bug that is fixed in 5.16. - Refactor the ALSA plugin a little. - The ALSA plugin now reports correct delay for a capture PCM. (#1697) - The ALSA nodes now expose all config options with params that can be changed at runtime. - The ALSA node has a configurable clock name. Adaptive resampling to match clock rates is avoided when the driver has the same clock name as the ALSA node. This can be used to link alsa devices together with a word clock. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Dec 11 16:21:56 UTC 2021 - Fabian Vogt <fabian@ritter-vogt.de> - Drop server packages from baselibs.conf. Only the client parts are needed in there. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Dec 10 09:31:47 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Minor aesthetic changes in the spec file ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 9 12:14:23 UTC 2021 - Neal Gompa <ngompa@opensuse.org> - Enable AAC support for Leap 15.4+ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 9 11:33:29 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Replace the Recommends wireplumber to a Suggests since there's already a Require dependency on a pipewire-session-manager and when in doubt the Suggested package is selected. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 9 10:34:27 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Unconditionally enable AAC support now that fdk-aac-free is in Factory (adapted from SR 936225 by Neal Gompa <ngompa@opensuse.org>) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Dec 3 09:06:42 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Makes sure if we're using wireplumber and pulseaudio that we don't enable the audio devices in pipewire by requiring wireplumber-audio or pulseaudio if wireplumber is installed - Better integration with PulseAudio (bsc#1188516) made by tiwai: * Add Requires pulseaudio-setup package for the extra setups in the %post section * Add the missing Recommends alsa-plugins-pulse to pipewire-pulseaudio package ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Nov 12 12:47:56 UTC 2021 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com> - Update to version 0.3.40: * Highlights: - Producers and consumers can now incrementally negotiate a format by narrowing down the options. This can be used to select an optimal combination of format and modifiers. - Driver nodes such as the consumer of a headless compositor can now throttle the speed based on a new trigger_done event. - Headless compositors can now signal a damage event to consumers to start the processing of the graph. - Compatibility improvements in JACK. - Draining and resuming is now working correctly in pulse and alsa. - Many bugfixes and improvements. * PipeWire: - Many BSD fixes. - clang compilation fixes. - Fix map implementation on big-endian machines. - Improve tracking of param changes in pw-stream. - Add support for renegotiation. With this change, producer and consumer can incrementally renegotiate a format until it is fixed. This will be used to do complex negotiation of DRM modifiers. - Add a trigger-done event in the stream. This can be used to know when processing of the complete graph has finished after issuing a trigger_process() and it can be used to throttle processing. - Add a RequestProcess node event and command. This can be used by non-driver nodes to suggest to a driver to start processing. One case is where a compositor can emit this event as a result of a screen update to let the headless compositor start an update. - Fix zeroconf sample format. - pw-mon outputs to stderr now and has colors. * SPA: - Fix compilation on ppc and armv7. - Fix port type check for ALSA seq midi ports so that they are not falsely listed as hardware. - Fix crash when running SSE code on unsupported HW. - The libcamera plugin was rewritten. It now supports hotplug, format enumeration and an easier to read codebase. - Fix compatibility some more for cards with 64 channels. * pulse-server: - Flush data in pause in combine-sink to avoid stray audio fragments. - Fix a race where not all objects were removed correctly. - The latency calculations and setup was improved to more closely match pulseaudio behaviour. PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC should now resemble pulseaudio more closely. - The drained reply is now sent only once and new data will be accepted once the drain completes. - Fix a potential crasher bug where the stream started processing before the setup was completed. - The server will now drop the client connections when the pipewire connection is lost. * JACK: - Rework the jack_port_get_buffer() method to return the same memory when called multiple times during the process() callback. This makes things work on a new Hydrogen. - Add an option to disable showing the monitor ports. - JACK ports are now sorted per node/client and port_id. This should more closely match JACK behaviour and avoid random port order. * v4l2: - Fix v4l2 LD_PRELOAD script. - Make sure we destroy the proxy when the global is destroyed. * ALSA: - _prepare should exit the draining state. - Fix the precision of the _delay function by taking into account the amount of queued samples are the correct samplerate. - Drop patches fixed upstream: * 0001-cpu-fix-compilation-on-some-architectures.patch * 0001-map-make-_insert_at-fail-on-a-removed-item.patch * 0002-map-use-uintptr_t-for-the-next-pointer.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Nov 3 08:47:41 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Recommend wireplumber so it's preferred to pipewire-media-session ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Oct 29 15:17:51 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add patches from upstream to fix build in s390x: * 0001-map-make-_insert_at-fail-on-a-removed-item.patch * 0002-map-use-uintptr_t-for-the-next-pointer.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Oct 29 08:54:01 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Use readline-devel instead of pkgconfig(readline) so it can be built in Leap15.3/SLE15-SP3 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Oct 21 10:10:40 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Fix %systemd_user_post using the now separated pipewire-media-session.service ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Oct 21 09:27:57 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.39 * Highlights - media-session is now moved into a separate module to speed up its deprecation in favour of WirePlumber. - There is now an LD_PRELOAD v4l2 emulation library to run some existing v4l2 applications on top of PipeWire. - Filter-chains should now flush out remaining samples when paused. There is now also the option to let a filter-chain drain so that long filters such as reverbs can fade out properly. - Stability and compatibility improvements in JACK apps. - Better Bluetooth compatibility with more devices. - libcamera plugin improvements. - Many bugfixes and improvements all over the map. * PipeWire - Fix compilation on ARM. - Log topics are added to most modules. - Documentation updates. Many improvements to the layout. Reorganisation of the modules and groups. - Share a work queue for all links and nodes. This removes the need for a separate eventfd per link and per node. - Catch errors in the map implementation. - Add option to compile without dbus support. - Fix biquad frequency. It was using the wrong sample rate. - Fix a potential crash when destroying nodes, in some cases the node would not be deactivated properly. - Add some more helpers for dealing with properties and their values. - Implement flush and reset on virtual sinks/sources. - Make it possible to let virtual sinks/filter-chains run and drain after being idle. - Fix a bug where the quantum could exceed the maximum because it was scaled with the sample rate. - Fix channel_map parsing in module-zeroconf-discover so that the remote channel map is used. - pw-stream errors emitted on the proxy are reported but not fatal any more. They are usually used by the session manager to signal status to the client but otherwise does not really cause an error on the client. - Links now also store the output and input node id in the global properties so that applications can parse and use them regardless of how the link was made. (#1723) - pw-stream and pw-filter now have an event to notify commands. - The echo-cancel module can now operate on larger quantums. - pw-cat now uses the right metadata to find the default devices in --list-targets. * media-session - Don't try to remix unpositioned streams when linking. This ensures that linking to Pro-Audio nodes does not remix the stream channels but links them as they are, one by one. - media-session is now moved to a separate module to accelerate its deprecation in favour of WirePlumber. * SPA - Many libcamera improvements, handle MemFd buffers, handle errors gracefully. - Small improvements to make interface fall-backs easier to implement. - Add support to enable flush-to-zero and denormals-are-zero to avoid high CPU usage when dealing with denormals. - AUX13 channels are no longer reported as AUX12. (#1727) - Devices with more than 32 channels in Pro-Audio mode now only uses AUX channels. - Improve windowing function of the resampler to reduce aliasing and improve the quality. * JACK - Port connect callbacks will not only be emitted after the port has negotiated buffers, which improves compatibility with applications that try to use the port right after the callback (jack_midi_latency_test). - Fix crash when midi ports were removed and being monitored, like in Ardour. * pulse-server - The pulse tunnel will now use the specified format/rate/channels. - Improve lookup of default source and fall back to the monitors when no sources are available. - Mark some nodes as network nodes so that we can set the NETWORK flag correctly. * GStreamer - The GStreamer element not releases the buffers in the stream again in all cases so that they can be reused by other streams. * v4l2 - Add a v4l2 LD_PRELOAD library to emulate v4l2 system calls on top of PipeWire. This is tested with firefox and GStreamer and is known to not work with Chrome. * Bluetooth - AAC compatibility improvements. - Disable hardware volume for "Tribit MAXSound Plus" and "SoundCore mini". - Add quirk to disable faststream. Disable faststream on "FiiO BTR3". - Add a dummy AVRCP player to improve compatibility with some devices. - Remove patch: * 0001-fix-compilation-on-ARM.patch - Add patch from upstream: * 0001-cpu-fix-compilation-on-some-architectures.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Oct 13 09:10:51 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add patch from upstream to fix compilation on ARM (boo#1191600): * 0001-fix-compilation-on-ARM.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Sep 30 10:03:37 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.38: * Highlights - Topic based logging was added to improve debugging. - An off-by-one error was fixed in the audio resampler that could cause distortion when downsampling. - Various bluetooth compatibility improvements. - More fixes and improvements. * PipeWire - module-pulse-tunnel now has better default latency to make it work better in more cases. There is also an option to configure the desired latency. - pw-cli now has readline support. - Topic based logging was added. Log lines can now be filtered by topic using wildcards. This should improve debugging. - The systemd service files should now have better descriptions. - Fix a crash in module-zeroconf-discover when unloading. - Fix a crash in filter-chain when using unaligned memory. * ALSA - Sync the udev rules and profiles with pulseaudio. - Fix a memory leak. * SPA plugins - An off-by-one error was fixed in the resampler that could cause distortion when downsampling.

(#1624) - Do a better check if a device has available routes and avoid selecting devices with unavailable routes as default. - Media-session was moved to its own directory. It used to live in examples but it is past the example stage and it interferes with the build options for the real examples. * Bluetooth - The hardware quirk database is now loaded by the plugin instead of the session manager. This makes it also work with wireplumber. * ALSA - The ALSA mixer now handles device removal much better. (#1627) * libcamera - Many fixes and improvement to the libcamera plugin. (#1513) * pulse-server - Improve compatibility with pulseaudio module arguments. - Parse channel_map arguments in module-loopback.

(#1585) - config min/max/default quantum values are now scaled with the samplerate. - A potential crash was fixed where destroyed memory was still used by a node. This could cause crashes in cheese. * pipewire-media-session - Only allow passthrough for passthrough formats (S/PDIF) for now. (#1587) - Improve bluetooth profile autoswitch. - Don't try to route audio to nodes with unavailable routes. * ALSA - Pass the right AES bits to the alsa device when opening an S/PDIF stream. - Fix a bug in the MIDI bridge port management logic. When a port was added and immediately removed, output would stop. * GStreamer - The GStreamer source now handles the flushing state correctly. - All blocking operations now have a 30 seconds timeout, to avoid infinite locks. * Plugins - V4l2 Device formats and controls are now passed on the node, just like with audio devices. - audioconvert now also exposes the softMute property. * JACK - Improve stability when changing buffer size and sample rate dynamically by pausing the processing until the application has handled the callback. - Improve handling of timebase master. When the master was moved to another driver, it did not attempt to become a new timebase master on the new driver. (#1589) - Implement transport sync to make preroll in bitwig work. (#1589) * pulse-server - Fix an issue where virtual sinks/sources would not show up immediately. (#1588) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Sep 9 08:49:42 UTC 2021 - Frederic Crozat <fcrozat@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.35: * Highlights: - S/PDIF passthrough over optical or HDMI is now implemented. - Some critical fixes to MIDI, draining of streams and various modules. - skypeforlinux should work better now after adding it to the quirks database. - Bluetooth codecs are now in separate plugins to make it easier to ship them. * PipeWire: - Drain was fixed in pw-stream. In some cases it would not clear the drain state correctly. Fixes the issue where speaker-test would only play one channel. - Loopback connections to a driver will now activate the driver. This fixes an issue where MIDI connections between devices or some applications (puredata) would not get any MIDI messages. (#1559)x. - The audiomixer can now mix more formats. Together with the passthrough improvements this can be used to avoid conversions to/from the DSP format in some cases. - Make sure we idle drivers when removing a node from it in all cases. JACK clients could keep a driver node busy. - Add new methods to accumulate object info. The old one was difficult to use when applications need to accumulate multiple changes. - A new interface to load modules has been added. Plugins can use this to ask the host (PipeWire) to load spa plugins. - Increase param buffer size to handle larger params. Nodes with a large number of channels would sometimes not have properties. (#1574) - Concurrent link negotiation that caused some links to not work, is now avoided. This fixes monitor ports in Ardour6. - Small tweaks to how the quantum and rate are handled when nodes move between drivers. Make node.lock-quantum work with node.latency * PipeWire modules: - The convolver plugin in filter-chain has been optimized some more. - The echo-cancel stream properties were improved so that it actually can remember the streams it links to. (#1557) - module-pulse-tunnel had the buffer attributes wrong and would cause high latency with older pulseaudio servers. (#1434) - module-roc had the properties configured wrongly, which would cause it to not work at all in most cases. (#1538) - There is now an example of a 7.1 virtual surround sink using the hesuvi impulse responses. - The convolver now supports dirac pulses as the IR. * ALSA: - UCM config is now cached per device, using up less memory. It also temporarily works around a problem in alsa-lib that is now being patched and rolled out. Should stop devices from disappearing when logging out and back in. (#1553) - Fix the MIDI clock rate matching. It was too sensitive to small changes and would spiral out of control and break MIDI rather quickly. * pipewire-media-session: - The media session can now save and restore IEC958 (S/PDIF) codecs for the sinks. - Passthrough of IEC958 (S/PDIF) content is now possible. If the client and the sink contain a compatible set of codecs, an exclusive connection can be made between client and sink to pass the encoded S/PDIF content directly to the device. - Use new introspection info update methods to suspend nodes in all cases. Sometimes, nodes would fail to suspend because the state info was not evaluated. - The media session can now work in non-DSP mode, which will try to avoid any audio conversions between client and device when possible. But, this will also disable compatibility with JACK applications. * Bluetooth - Bluetooth codecs are now compiled into separate plugins which are dynamically loaded. This makes it possible to change the plugin implementation or ship plugins separately without having to recompile the bluetooth module. * PulseAudio server - Delay stream create reply until the stream is linked to a sink/source. - The device-restore extension is now implemented. This makes it possible to configure the IEC958 (S/PDIF) codecs supported by the sink with pavucontrol. - skypeforlinux now uses the same quirks as teams to make the sinks show up in all cases. This fixes the issue of not being able to hear the remote end in skypeforlinux. * JACK - Improve catia and carla compatibility by caching objects a little longer after being removed. (#1531) - JACK ports now notify the negotiated format correctly. - A potential deadlock was fixed when multiple threads would perform a call that would require a roundtrip. - Improve bufsize callback, it should not be called right after doing activate() but only when the buffersize changes later. - Add tweak to disable the process lock. Some older apps might not expect it. (#1576) * Docs - man pages are now generated with rst2man. - DMA-BUF docs were updated. - Documentation updates. - Replace BuildRequires xmltoman with docutils (rst2man) - Update libcamera Buildrequires. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Aug 27 08:33:01 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add BuildRequires: pkgconfig(libcap) since it's being searched by the build scripts. - Replace BuildRequires: pkgconfig(libopenaptx) with libfreeaptx since openaptx has a license issue - Use bcond_with to enable/disable the usage of libcamera (the defaults are not changed: it's disabled in Leap since upstream doesn't recommend enabling it yet and enabled in TW since we can allow some experimental support there) - Changes suggested by darix. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Aug 26 12:27:15 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.34: * Highlights - Fixes some critical issues with previous release. Such as devices not showing up and default devices being lost. - Support for consumer driver streams to make the producer v-sync to the consumer monitor in a headless compositor setup. - Improvements to routing of streams. - Bluetooth battery status support for head-set profile and using Apple extensions. aptX-LL and FastStream codec support was added. - Internal latency of ALSA devices can now be configured. - A fast convolver was added to the filter-chain to implement virtual surround sinks or reverbs. * PipeWire - Add support for streams that are driver nodes for the graph. This was already possible for source streams but it is now also possible for playback streams. This can be used to let a producer v-sync to the consumer monitor in a headless compositor setup. (#1484) - State files are now stored in XDG_STATE_HOME instead of XDG_CONFIG_HOME. They will still be loaded from the config home if they are not in the new state home, to ease migration. - Set a driver on inactive nodes to make transport work in xjadeo. (#1491) - Fix parsing of filter-chain controls. - A new FFT based convolver was added to module-filter-chain. It uses a 0-latency 2 stage convolver with small FFT for the head and a large FFT for the tail of the convolution. A convolution can be used to implement IR based reverbs, HRIR surround sound or other convolution based operations. An example HRIR virtual surround sound sink has been added as well. - module-filter-chain was reworked a bit to support more config options for the plugins. - Endian conversion and alaw/ulaw formats are now supported for streams. - pw-cat will now suggest a samplerate for the graph. - SPA_PLUGIN_DIR can now search in multiple paths separated with a ':'. - Passthrough mode has been worked on and has been partially merged. S/PDIF definitions have been added and ALSA devices updated to report and configure S/PDIF formats. The session manager changes to fully configure and enable passthrough mode will hopefully be merged next time. - Fix a race in pw-stream where it would not always emit the right events. * ALSA - Fix volume changed check. It was checking against the wrong value and this could cause rounding errors. - The ALSA plugin now also uses RT scheduling. - Fix the behringer UMC202 usb device id, it was using a generic TI chip ID that caused problems. - Fix USB devices that don't show up anymore. Use an ALSA workaround to fix this. (#1478) - Add a rule for the new firmware of Sennheiser GSX 1200. - ALSA sink and source can now use ProcessLatency param to configure the internal latency. The latencyOffsetNsec property is also exposed so that the latency can be adjusted in pavucontrol as well. * media-session - Fix a critical issue where the default device was not remembered anymore when it was removed. - Fix the issue where some apps need to be restarted when nodes go away and reappear. - Improve routing of streams. Streams that have a specific target set will now be moved to the target when it appears instead of staying on the fallback. - Small memory leak fixes. - Try to switch back to the user selected profile after finishing a Bluetooth recording. * Bluetooth - Add support for HF indicator 2 battery status. - Add support for XAPL battery status. - Set the Communication intended role for HFP profile. - Enable SBC-XQ by default if not disabled by quirks. - Fix some potential crashes due to excessive polling. - Add aptx-LL codec and enable duplex for aptx-LL devices. - Add FastStream codec. This is a codec that can use a duplex SBC channel. * PulseAudio server - Suggests a samplerate for the graph. - Support for handling S/PDIF (IEC958) formats was added. This will start working when the session manager supports configuring streams and nodes in passthrough mode. - Be smarter when handling devices without a negotiated format yet so that they are visible as well. This makes virtual devices show up immediately. * ALSA plugin - Now suggests a samplerate for the graph. * JACK - The jack.pc file can only be generated with meson >= 0.59.0. When the jack-devel option is enabled, it will generate an error with older meson. - Small stability improvements when connecting/disconnecting in Ardour. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Aug 5 14:54:31 UTC 2021 - Frederic Crozat <fcrozat@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.33: * Highlights - Better support for virtual sinks/sources for Pro Audio profile. - Better DMA-BUF format modifier negotiation. - Support multiple sample rates in the graph. Not enabled by default yet. - Bluetooth can now automatically switch between headset and audio profile. - Documentation updates. - Many improvements and crasher fixes. * PipeWire - Make AUX channels an official channel map, use this for the PRO audio profile so that we can name the channels. This make it possible to define virtual sources and sinks for Pro Audio devices in a more reliable way. - Fix scheduling of some virtual sinks/sources. (#1407) - Fix potential corruption of ringbuffer because of multiple concurrent writers. This might be the cause for many reported crashes. (#1451) - Don't place sockets in $HOME. (#1443) - Improve DMA-BUF negotiation. Add a flag to avoid fixation of a property so that producers can negotiate more efficiently. This is used to negotiate DMA-BUF modifiers, which should make more efficient use of the GPU. (#1084) - Add support for multipe sample rates. The graph can switch when IDLE to one of the supported rates. Add an option to lock the rate as well. This is not enabled by default yet because of driver bugs that need to be worked around first. - Add node.lock-quantum property that can be used to lock the quantum in place. - Improve latency reporting in the loopback module. - Make new client-node method to send the peer port id to the mixer. This can be used to know where the buffers entering the mixer are coming from. (#1471) * Tools - pw-top should now also correctly show bluetooth devices. (#1540) * media-session - Handle unset of the default node. - Added a module that can switch the bluetooth profile to headset profile when a stream wants to record from it. * JACK - Only call the jack callbacks when the client is active. Some JACK applications don't expect callbacks before the client is active and crash (x42-dpl). (#1461) - Emit client unregister event. - Add per-client match rules in the config file to set app specific configuration and tweaks. (#1456) - Use peer_id to implement jack_port_get_buffer() from one of our peer ports to get the data before it enters the mixer. Makes the capture monitors work in Ardour6.8. (#1471) * Bluetooth - Add some broken kernel versions to the mSBC blocklist - Avoid looping and consuming CPU when we can't write to the BT socket. - Use libfreeaptx instead of libopenaptx. - Fix rounding errors in HW volume conversion. * PulseAudio server - implement module-switch-on-connect to emulate pulseaudio behaviour of new devices. Some desktop environments expect this behaviour and break otherwise. - Fix stream cleanup, make sure the stream is stopped before destroying it. Might be cause for some of the reported crashes. - Update message API to use the JSON format. * Other - Many documentation updates. - Many cleanups and small improvements. - Support the latest libcamera version. (#1435) - Drop pipewire-fix-libcamera-build.patch, merged upstream. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jul 27 06:23:36 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Move with-{alsa,jack,pulseaudio} from the media-session package to the packages that implement each support. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jul 22 07:55:13 UTC 2021 - Frederic Crozat <fcrozat@suse.com> - Add patch pipewire-fix-libcamera-build.patch: fix build with latest libcamera. - Do no build libcamera support on Leap 15.3 or lower (too old libcamera) and change name of BuildRequires from camera to libcamera. - Update minimal version for alsa buildrequires. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jul 20 12:46:57 UTC 2021 - Frederic Crozat <fcrozat@suse.com> - Update to 0.3.32: * Highlights - Real-time priority handling for threads was reworked. Freewheeling will now drop RT priorities to avoid being killed. - Problems with filter chains and echo-cancel being linked in a loop was fixed. - alsamixer should now be able to see the mixer controls again. - JACK has seen some latency reporting improvements that make Ardour report latencies correctly. - Many bugfixes and improvements. * PipeWire - Fix a bug in the neon audio resampler code. - There is now a node.link-group property to relate linked streams. this can be used to track the dataflow with coupled streams. - Fix a crash when recalculating latency on a destroyed port. (#1371) - Filter chains and other modules that create streams can now also be added to the daemon config itself. (#1309) - Fix some potential deadlocks in timerfd. (#1377) - Feedback links are skipped when recalculating latency to avoid loops. - The dummy driver and null-sink now stop the timerfd when following another driver instead of generating useless graph wakeups. - rt.limit was increased to 2 seconds. Some applications got killed because they run lengthy code in the Real-Time thread. (#1344) - Fix s24_32 to float, it was not sign extending properly. (#1393) - The performance of the feedback loop check algorithm was improved a lot, making complex graphs start much much faster. - The zeroconf publish module now doesn't republish nodes every time the volume changes. (#1406) - A potential memory corruption error has been fixed in the loop that could cause random crashes. - Mempools can now be created from multiple threads at the same time. * media-session - Loops in coupled streams are now avoided. (#1394) - Port changes for inactive profiles are ignored now by the default-route module. (#1403) * ALSA - Make sure tha alibpref is not part of the device node name because it is random. (#1362) - Fixed an off-by-one that could cause midi events to end up with a wrong timestamp and thus being discarded by some apps. (#1395) - Fix some memory leaks when destroying a card object. * JACK - Fix some invalid cycle wakeups that could cause JACK application to run with a 0 buffer size. (#1386) - JACK can now use rtkit to manage realtime priorities on threads. - The Real-time priority is dropped when entering freewheel mode to make sure we don't get killed when using too much CPU. - jack_recompute_total_latencies() is now implemented, fixing the latency reporting in Ardour. (#1388) - Fix some overflows in time calculations. - Ensure frame_rate in position is never 0. - Graph callbacks are now emitted as well. * Bluetooth - RTP payload type is now set correctly for aptX, LDAC and SBC, which should improve compatibility with devices that care about this. * PulseAudio server - There is now a quirks database to deal with bad clients. The database is builtin but can be made external later. Teams is now lied to and told all sink/sources use s16 samples to make it show all sinks/sources. Firefox is forced to remove the DONT_MOVE flag on capture streams so that you can move firefox streams with other tools. - The UNDERFLOW warnings are now made into info log messages to not spam the log too much. Many application just let things underrun and PulseAudio did not warn about this either. (#910) * ALSA plugin - The alsa plugin now uses the right metadata for finding the default source and sink, which makes the volume controls reappear. (#1384) * Other - Cleanups in pulse-server and pipewire. - Documentation additions. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jul 13 14:52:35 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Make the jack replacement libraries really replace jack libraries just like Fedora does (adding the path to the pipewire replacement libraries to ld.so.conf.d and conflicting with jack). - Remove the spec code that forced the packages not to provide the jack libraries. They seem to be ready to replace jack libraries now. - Add a pipewire-libjack-0_3-devel package with development files for pipewire's jack replacement. - Enable the libcamera module ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jun 29 06:12:36 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add %pre and %post sections to the new media-session subpackage. - Move the references to the media-session service from the workaround in pipewire's %post section to the workaround in the new subpackage's %post section. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jun 28 16:14:29 UTC 2021 - Frederic Crozat <fcrozat@suse.com> - Update to 0.3.31: * Highlights - Fixes for alsa-lib 1.2.5 - New pulseaudio modules: module-avahi-zeroconf, module-pipe-source, module-roc-sink, module-roc-source - JACK has seen massive stability improvements. Locking and correctness wrt to callbacks and has been reworked. Also thread priorities have improved. - Handle various crashes and lockups when running out of file descriptors. - Bluetooth now uses a hardware database to disable non-working features on listed devices. - Scheduling quantum and rate can now be changed dynamically with pw-metadata. - Many bugfixes and improvements. * PipeWire - Improve cleanup of context in error cases. - There is now a pw-test framework for improved unit tests. - Improve property serialization to valid JSON. - Fix some macros to work with better with coverity. - Metadata permissions are checked now. Clients need the M permission on an object to be able to set metadata for it. - The core metadata object will now remove metadata for removed objects, the implementor does not need to worry about that anymore. - Audioadapter will now follow the rate of the graph with the resampler adjusting itself dynamically. - Core now has a metadata implementation helper. A context will expose a metadata with settings that can be changed at runtime. This can be used to change the lowlevel or graph quantum and samplerate on the fly. - An infinite loop was fixed in the audio converter. - Handle out-of-fds more gracefully. Handle truncated control data by dropping the client connection. - Fix profiler crash with many streams. - Improve latency handling in pw-filter. There is now a default handler and a ProcessLatency parameter to simplify latency reporting. - Latency reporting was improved in devices and streams. - And example sink/source was added. * ALSA - hardware mute and volume are now properties on the Route param to make things easier. - More fixes for alsa-ucm 1.2.5. * Tools - spa-json-dump now properly encodes string and keys - pw-dump now shows the correct subject of the metadata. * PulseAudio server - Ensure the node.description is set, some applications crash otherwise (TeamSpeak). - Module loading and unloading was improved. - module-avahi-zeroconf was implemented. - module-pipe-source was implemented - module-roc-sink and module-roc-source was implemented - The maximum amount of connections has been limited to 64, like pulseaudio. - Handle out-of-fds more gracefully. - Fix overflow of read/write pointers. - source and sink state are now decoupled from the monitor state and will report IDLE when not playing anything. * media-session - Port switching should now happen to/from the port that actually changed. * JACK - The locking was reviewed. All callbacks are not emited from the PipeWire thread with the lock released and the process function will be disabled for the duration of the callback. This ensures that no two callbacks are called at the same time. - Improve internal consistency and try to never call callbacks with invalid objects. - Monitor port can now be accessed with system:monitor_%d - client threads are now created with SCHED_FIFO and module-rt is used to create the other RT threads. This should avoid SIGKILL from RTKit in some cases. * Bluetooth - Various bugfixes to improve connections to devices. - Handle delayed UUID connection. - There is now a hardware database that can disable features in listed devices. - Use libusb to detect availability of mSBC. * ALSA - The virtual device name can now also contain a media role. - Add BuildRequires(libusb-1.0) to detect mSBC support for Bluetooth. - Move media-session to a separate package (similar to Fedora), allowing to switch to another session manager. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Jun 13 17:35:06 UTC 2021 - Adam Mizerski <adam@mizerski.pl> - added pipewire-alsa to baselibs.conf pipewire-alsa-32bit is needed to run BIT.TRIP Runner 2 from Steam, which is a 32bit application and uses ALSA. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jun 10 11:08:24 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Move %{_udevrulesdir}/90-pipewire-alsa.rules to the main pipewire package (boo#1187108) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jun 10 10:17:14 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to 0.3.30+git~342ae0b64 (55 commits after 0.3.30) in order to include https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/merge_requests/748 and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/merge_requests/749 to fix building on Leap 15.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jun 9 10:11:38 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to 0.3.30 * This is a quick emergency release to fix some severe problems with the previous release. * Highlights - Recording from a monitor port should work again. - JACK applications should now be more stable again. - Freewheeling should not lock up anymore. - Fix lockups in many pulseaudio apps. - module-echo-cancel was implemented in pipewire-pulse - Many other stability fixes. * PipeWire - Improve module path logic. - Improve logger formatting * PulseAudio server - Make sure to pass 64 bits values for time on ARM 32 bits to avoid protocol errors. - Avoid a crash when unloading module-combine-sink. - Avoid overflow in requested bytes, resulting in stalled audio. - Implement module-echo-cancel. * Bluetooth - Handle latency parameters instead of failing. * JACK - Fix locking in many places to avoid deadlocks and crashes. - Fix port rename. - Stop freewheeling correctly instead of deadlocking. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jun 3 13:01:45 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to 0.3.29 * Highlights - Latency reporting is now implemented. - Many documentation updates and cleanups. - module-combine-sink was added to PulseAudio server. - Better handling of multichannel input profiles. - Fix 100% volume issue when monitor suspends or profile changes in some cases. - Bugfixes and crashes * PipeWire - A new module-rt was added to acquire real-time scheduling priviledges without using RTKit. - Documentation fixes and updates.

Latency values are propagated through the graph so that each node knows the latency to the output/input device. Synchronization in pw-stream has been updated to use this. - Some more upmix cases are added so that LFE, SIDE and REAR can be generated from a mono channel as well. - pw-stream and pw-filter will now emit the process event from the real-time thread in a safe way, potentially avoiding some of the harder to debug crashes. - Fix potential stack overflow with serialize_dict. - Add PIPEWIRE_NO_CONFIG to run without custom config files. - The WebRTC echo canceler was added. Next versions will integrate this better. * PulseAudio server - module-combine-sink was implemented. - Fix some segfaults when DBus connections fail. - Support for listening on IPv6 was added. - Fix a bug where many flushes could result in requests for too much data from the client, causing sync, latency and garbled sound problems after many seeks. * ALSA - Also probe input paths for multichannel mappings. This makes multichannel input ports show up in more cases. - Fix headphones/front volume issue on some cards. - Fix max volume issue when profile changes. - Fix issue with UCM local config that was not available when the device was opened in the server but the UCM was opened by the session manager. Fixes alsa 1.2.5 compatibility. * JACK - Implement latency reporting with the new Latency params. - Add BuildRequires: pkgconfig(webrtc-audio-processing) which is required by the new WebRTC echo canceler. - Remove patch which is already included: * 0001-alsa-mixer-only-use-switch-to-mute-Front-in-the-Headphone-path.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jun 1 07:31:49 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add patch from upstream to use the independent switch to mute Lineout or Speaker instead of setting the volume, which on some soundcards might be shared by Headphone and Lineout or Headphone and Speaker (fixes boo#1186572): * 0001-alsa-mixer-only-use-switch-to-mute-Front-in-the-Headphone-path.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 25 07:12:32 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Introduce a workaround for systems where %systemd_user_post didn't enable the user services correctly due to different reasons . This workaround is only executed once, and only if it's really needed. In order to execute only once a lock file is created in /var/lib/pipewire. The lockfile can be removed when the workaround is removed. Everyone who upgraded their TW system between (aprox.) the 14th of January and the 16th of March and who didn't enable the services manually is affected by this. It also happens for everyone who installed a new TW system since (aprox.) the 14th of January and also for everyone doing a new installation of SLE15-SP3 / Leap 15.3 from the iso (new installations using online repositories will work fine once the fix in systemd-presets-common-SUSE is released). Fixes boo#1184852, boo#1183012 and boo#1186561. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed May 19 11:15:08 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to 0.3.28 * Highlights - Freewheeling was implemented. This makes it possible to export projects in ardour. - A new powerful filter-chain module was added that can be used to created all kinds of filter-chains from ladspa and builtin plugins. - Many more pulseaudio modules are now implemented: module-ladspa-sink, module-ladspa-source, module-pipe-sink, module-tunnel-sink, module-tunnel-source, module-zeroconf-discover - Fix a bug where devices would not appear after logout/login. - Fix a bug where the volume was reset to 0 and devices would have no audio. - Config files are now installed in the data dir, system overrides in /etc/pipewire and $HOME are checked first. * PipeWire - Implement freewheeling for JACK clients - Add filter-chain module that can be used to construct arbitrary graphs from ladspa and builtin plugins. - Add new property to easily set algorithm params - Add module-pulse-tunnel to tunnel audio to and from a PulseAudio compatible server. - Add a avahi zeroconf discover module, create pulse-tunnel when PulseAudio devices are announced. - Config files are now installed in the data dir, system overrides in /etc/pipewire and $HOME are checked first. - Applications now have their monitor ports named with the "monitor" prefix to avoid confusion with the output ports. - LICENSE clarifications. * GStreamer - fixes to the pipewiresink plugin. * SPA plugins - Fix a bug where the volume was reset to 0 - Add events to dbus plugin. This can be used to detect dbus disconnects. * Media-session - Handle dbus disconnect. - Handle device reservation errors. * PulseAudio server - Implement module-ladspa-sink and a new PipeWire-only module-ladspa-source - Implement module-pipe-sink - Implement module-tunnel-sink and module-tunnel-source - Fix a bug with module argument parsing - Implement module-zeroconf-discover * ALSA plugin - improve error handling ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu May 13 20:33:25 UTC 2021 - Ismail Dönmez <ismail@i10z.com> - Add %bcond_with aptx conditional to let 3rd parties to enable aptX support. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat May 8 18:02:57 UTC 2021 - Ismail Dönmez <ismail@i10z.com> - Add %bcond_with aac conditional to let 3rd parties to enable AAC support. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri May 7 14:46:32 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to 0.3.27 * Highlights - Fix bug that caused bluetooth devices to stop working. - Fix session-manager crash when switching users caused by the DBus plugin cleanup errors. - Improve volume handling of monitor ports. - Fix GStreamer v4l2 support. - Implement module-remap-sink and module-remap-source in pipewire-pulse. - More fixes and improvements. * PipeWire - Move the loopback code into a module.

Later versions will include the webrtc echo-canceler. - State files don't have the X permission anymore. - Move i18n core into a private header file. - Stream can now advertize properties and receive property updates. - Fix an issue where the wrong index was used to address a port. It caused Bluetooth devices to stop working. * SPA plugins - Only do LFE filtering on channels we created. - Improve name and description of devices. - Improve cleanup in DBus connections and sources to avoid crash when destroying. - Improved volume handling. Hardware, Software and Monitor volumes are now properly separated and handled. - Support for S8 and S8P formats was added. * Tools - pw-cli can now also create Struct from JSON arrays. * Session-manager - The session manager can now also create passive links. This makes is possible to suspend effect chains together with the sinks when not in use. - Match rules now check the complete property value instead of only the start. - Handle multiple pending param enumerations, take only last result. This fixes some volume update issues. * GStreamer plugins - GStreamer plugins now advertize handling DMABUF explicitly. This is currently the only way to avoid a memcpy for v4l2 devices. * Device support - sync ACP with pulseaudio, merge upstream patch instead of our hack to workaround missing duplex devices. - V4l2 devices don't expose their fd anymore. Previously the fd and mmap offsets were passed to the client to access the buffer memory but that could create security issues. * Bluetooth - Don't unregister the profiles on shutdown because this can cause delay, just close the dbus connection. - Bluetooth devices now try to use the global samplerate from the graph. * PulseAudio server - Implement remap-sink and remap-source modules using the new loopback module. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon May 3 03:06:31 UTC 2021 - Yifan Jiang <yfjiang@suse.com> - Disable gstreamer device provider by now because the timestamp bug makes cheese video record abnormally longer than it should be (rh#1884260). - Replace all tab characters to space. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 29 11:16:51 UTC 2021 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add %systemd_ordering so systemd is installed before pipewire on fresh installations.

It should now be as good or better than the replacement library. - Implement sample cache to make notification events work. + JACK layer - handle errors when linking, fixes jack_connect hang when the ports were already linked. - Drop patches do-not-use-snd_pcm_ioplug_hw_avail.patch and fix-memfd_create-call.patch, no longer needed on SLE/Leap which have updated glibc / alsa. - Drop do-not-install-alsa-config-files.patch, remove files at install time instead. - pw-pulse wrapper is gone, remove all mentions of it. - Package pulseaudio replacement in a subpackage and drop pipewire-libpulse-0_3 (pipewire will use pulseaudio libraries directly). - Create an alsa subpackage and move alsa pipewire plugin to this subpackage. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Nov 5 10:37:18 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.15: + Highlights - This is a quick update to fix critical issues with the 0.3.14 update, which broke screen sharing and accidentally enabled the experimental pulse-server. - Fix some compatibility issues in pulse-server with pavucontrol and fix an issue that would block the complete server. + PipeWire improvements - Permission checks for new clients are now done from a global context, which makes it possible to assign initial permissions to objects. - Handle EINTR everywhere - Fix an issue with the node state changes where a quick pause/play would hang a client. + Session manager improvements - Disable the bluez5 and pulse-bridge modules by default because they interfere with pulseaudio. These options should only be enabled if pulseaudio is removed or disabled in the system. - Fix an issue where the session manager could end up in infinite recursion while scanning for things to do. - The session manager will now always configure nodes to remix to the channel configuration of the device. This fixes the case where mono streams would only end up on one channel of a stereo device. + Device support - Initial merge of A2DP extra codec support using the new bluez5 API. + pulse-server - Create the runtime directory when it doesn't exist. - Don't ever block the server, use non-blocking IO everywhere. - Fill description of profiles with the name if not otherwise set, this fixes a crash in pavucontrol. - the connection debug catergory will now also debug pulse messages. - Respect the no_remix flag to make the control panel channel check work. + ALSA plugin - implement pause ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Nov 3 08:11:46 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.14: + Highlights - This release focuses on bugfixes and stability improvements. - A new experimental pulse-server module was added. This module implements the pulseaudio protocol on top of PipeWire and can be used to make flatpaks work with PipeWire. It looks like this might be a better way forward compared to the libpulse.so replacement library. - A2DP bluetooth was reworked. Playback should work a lot better now. Support was also added to automatically link an A2DP source to a playback device, which makes it possible to use PipeWire as a bluetooth receiver as well. - Improvements to the routing and volume restore features of the session manager. + PipeWire improvements - The channelmixer does not normalize volumes anymore. Volumes are only normalized for monitoring streams now. - Streams can actually start in the inactive state now. - The channelmixer can now also convert volume updates from one channel layout to another. This makes saved volumes work even when streams have different channel layouts. - Clients are only registered after the properties have been updated. - Links now have a new active state. - Drivers can now also specify a minimum quantum. This makes it possible for bluetooth devices to specify an optimum quantum for the given codec settings and MTU. - The amount of data sent over the socket was reduced by only sending the data that changed. - Client objects are now exposed after they uploaded their properties, which makes the new object more useful. + Tools improvements - pw-cat will now add metadata to the PipeWire streams. + Session manager improvements - Fix crashes when reading bad data in stored settings. - volume and routing is improved. Settings are now remembered per application or media-role. - The session manager remembers the last device used per stream - Fix a bug when moving streams where it could sometimes end up with linking a stream to multiple devices. - Use RTKit to set realtime priority on the data thread in the session manager. This improves performance of the pulse-server and bluetooth devices. - Add a new property to mark streams that want to capture from the monitor of the default sink. - NODE_TARGET can now also contain the node name. This avoids some lookups in the pulseaudio layer when selecting target nodes by name. - the -e and -d options are more usable now and can be used to add and remove modules from the default list of modules. + Device support - v4l2: add some workarounds for buggy drivers. Add Limited support for droidcam. - ACP: improve selection of default port and profiles. - ACP: add support for using the hardware mixer for more than 8 channel streams. - ACP: support the new port type and availability group found in PulseAudio. - A2DP bluetooth timings were reworked. Automatic linking of A2DP sources was added to make it possible for PipeWire to act as a bluetooth receiver. The code was reworked to allow other codecs such as APTX and LDAC in the future. - Try harder to recover from ALSA errors. + GStreamer improvements - Fix some crashes in the monitor that cause gnome-initial-setup to crash. + PulseAudio layer improvements - Many compatibility improvements. Improved playback in chrome. Fix a crash in firefox when the daemon is stopped. - Fix a leak in the formats. - Fix !ADJUST_LATENCY streams like paplay. - Make the device option in paplay work. - Fix volume/mute notifications, this makes plasma volume updates work again. - Do the conversion between PulseAudio cubic volumes and PipeWire linear volumes. Volume levels should behave now like they did with PulseAudio. + JACK layer improvements - Return an error when we run out of midi events. Some application rely on this behaviour. + ALSA plugin improvements - The ALSA plugin now also supports the node name in the playback_node and capture_node properties. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Oct 27 17:32:57 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Rename 99-pipewire-default.conf to 99-pipewire-default.conf.example so it's disabled by default and all ALSA I/O doesn't get redirected to pipewire (which was only overrided by pulseaudio's configuration in alsa-plugins-pulse casually). Thanks to Takashi Iwai for noticing (boo#1178104, boo#1177166 and probably boo#1175584) - Add baselibs.conf (boo#1177555) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Oct 8 08:29:36 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.13: + PipeWire improvements - Add pw-reserve tool to reserve or monitor a device on DBus. - Install spa-resample, a tool to resample a file. - Install spa-acp-tool, a tool to inspect the card profile. - Various fixes and improvements - Fix a bug in pw-stream where a capture stream could run out of buffers and become silent. - Rework the processing loops in the adapter and stream. There is now less latency in PulseAudio and ALSA layers. + Session manager improvements - Improve the device reservation code. We now try to acquire the device using the dbus device reservation API before we probe the device. This avoids conflicts with a running PulseAudio where devices would disappear (because they were locked by the other process). - Don't fail on invalid input from the config files. - Audio devices now have the same name as what PulseAudio would assign. + Device support - v4l2: try to use the format before enumerating the size and framerate. Some drivers don't check the format and might now work better. - v4l2: Fall back to MMAP when EXPBUF fails. Fix MMAP access, just export the fd and the mapoffset. This should make more devices work. - Fix crash in ALSA Card Profile (ACP) code. - ACP: fix selection of default profile. Prefer any possibly available profile over 'Off'. This makes some card at least start with something. - Fix soft volume. After setting the volume to 0, it would stay at 0 until pushed over the max volume. This should fix various volume related issues. + PulseAudio layer improvements - Rework the buffering and latency measurements and tweak the buffer attributes. This should make browsers and media players work better. This should also improve speechd performance. + JACK layer improvements - Fix compilation against newer JACK. - Rebase patch: + do-not-install-alsa-config-files.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 22 12:37:18 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.12: + PipeWire improvements - The channelmap converter now handles unknown and strange channel layouts much better. - The resampler is now cleared correctly, avoiding clicks and pops at the start of sound. - Fixes for various crasher bugs. (paplay drain, vlc shutdown, pactl info, ...) - Fix a race condition in the node state changes that caused all kinds of sync and other issues (vlc, mpv, ...) - Improve the binary name property of applications - Fix the scheduling again of nodes that always need a driver such as the jack clients. + Session manager improvements - Fix routing to default nodes. Sometimes nodes were not routed to the default node (bluetooth) + Device support - Disable channelmap from ALSA by default. This is what PulseAudio does and thus provides better compatibility. - Fix a bug in how the resampler was used in the ALSA source, causing distortion and errors when using low latency capture clients. (Discord, webrtc, ...) - Small bluetooth improvements. More work is needed for reliable bluetooth playback. + GStreamer plugins - The device provider now stops the processing loop before shutting down, which avoids crashes (gnome-initial-setup). + PulseAudio layer improvements - The buffer attributes were reworked to ensure compatibility with many more applications such as mpv and audacious. - The pulseaudio layer will now try hard to not hand out invalid channel maps to the application. (avoids crashes in gnome-volume-control). The channel map will now also look more like what PulseAudio does. - The @DEFAULT_SINK/SOURCE/MONITOR@ wildcards now work. This fixes the problem with volume keys when they are bound to scripts using pactl and the default sink/source wildcards. - The PIPEWIRE_LATENCY environment variable now works again - Fix some leaks of ports and port info. Also fix the leak of the context when the mainloop is stopped. - The sink/source format_info array is now filled up completely, this is actually not implemented yet in the real PulseAudio. + JACK layer improvements - jack now returns version 3.0.0 and has PipeWire in the version string so that apps can report this. - Drop patch: + 0001-alsa-dont-change-the-resampler-delay-value.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Sep 18 05:32:09 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.11: + PipeWire improvements - Properly cleanup the mixer structures when a port is removed, this should fix client crashes related to port config changes and other random crashes. - Optimize the preferred formats in the audio converter. Higher quality formats with higher performance are chosen first. - Make sure the time reported by pw_stream is always increasing, even when the driver and clock changes. - There is now also a system service and socket that can be used to enable PipeWire systemwide. This is however not recommended and disabled by default. - Fix channelmixer 5.1 to stereo mix matrix. It was not reading the conversion matrix correctly and cause channels to be dropped. The channelmixer will now also normalize the volume, like what pulseaudio does. - The channelmixer will now just copy channels when no layout has been given. It has also optimized paths for this. This makes it possible for apps to request > 8 channels from the alsa plugin (ardour). - Port, Node and Link will now also emit an error on the resources in addition to updating the error in the info. This would make it easier to track negotiation errors in the session manager later. - many small fixes and cleanups. - Fix compatibility: - DOSBox: fix crash because of double free in pw_stream + Session manager improvements - The session manager will now try to configure the client to the channel configuration of the sink/source. It will only do this for downmixing, never for upmixing and also never when the client has the dont-remix property set. It will also renegotiate the channel layout when moving a stream to a new sink/source. - Configuration state is now saved in XDG_CONFIG_HOME. Previously it was saved in $HOME/.pipewire-media-session/ You can migrate the state by moving the files to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pipewire-media-session (or $HOME/.config/pipewire-media-session as a fallback when XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set). + Device support - Bluetooth sources and sinks should work better now. - There is now also a new bluetooth backend using hsphfpd. - fix the ALSA UCM Off profile for alsa pcm devices - improve ALSA port and profile switching. The ACP device will now switch to the best port and profile when availability changes. + PulseAudio layer improvements - Implement some more callbacks. The pulse layer will now also notify applications of stream moved, started and latency changes. - Fix error code when an object was not found. We now return PA_ERR_NOENTITY instead of PA_ERR_INVALID. - Add some support for loading new null sinks. Applications such as pulseeffects use this. Note that pulseeffects does not yet work reliably but can start now. - Improve handling of profile and port updates, it should work much more reliable now. Apps should now also again receive volume updates from sinks/sources. - Fix compatibility: - openal-soft 1.20 - pavucontrol (checks PA_ERR_NOENTITY) + JACK layer improvements - improve default source and sink handling. It was not updated correctly in all cases. - add samplerate and period to the pw-jack wrapper to easily configure the desired samplerate and perdiod for the app. + ALSA plugin improvements - Add a mixer entry in the alsa config file. - Implement support for planar types, rework the processing function to make it more robust. - refuse to load the alsa plugin when linked against 0.2. This catches some old apps linked against 0.2 that want to use the alsa plugin. - Fix compatibility: - linphone (ALSA SIGFPE when _status() is called before _prepare()). - Includes fix for a division by 0 error (boo#1176515): + 0021-alsa-protect-against-SIGPFE.patch - Add patch from upstream to fix audio stutters in discord and probably other applications when using alsa directly. + 0001-alsa-dont-change-the-resampler-delay-value.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Aug 27 06:00:06 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.10: + Many improvements to the pulse layer. - GStreamer pulsesink element now works. - Fixes some segfaults. - Enable rtkit for client threads. - fixes capture of monitor stream by name - implement some more extensions, this makes paman work and removes some warnings. + Many improvements to the GStreamer elements - negotiation rework, avoid calling GStreamer methods from the PipeWire callbacks because they might block and cause deadlocks. - Add support for non-string property values. - improve stability after buffer and format renegotiation. - Rework the device provider. - pipewiresink can now provide a stream that can be consumed by apps like cheese. + Many improvements to the JACK layer: - Rework the buffer_size callbacks. Make sure we call the callback from a 'safe' thread and that we don't call the process callback while the application is handling the callback. This improves stability in apps like Carla when PipeWire dynamically changes the buffer size. - Improve compatibility with apps that call get_buffer_frames() with a 0 size (calfjackrack) - JACK can now create nodes that can be set as a sink/source in PulseAudio/ALSA apps (you can make an effects rack and set that as default sink for apps). + Added a group id property for nodes. This makes it possible to schedule nodes with the same driver even when they are otherwise not linked together. To make this work well a new flag needed to be added to nodes to signal when they are ready for processing. Together with the GStreamer fixes, this makes things like: gst-launch-1.0 -v pipewiresrc path=51 stream-properties="props,node.group=1" ! audio/x-raw ! pipewiresink stream-properties="props,node.group=1" work as expected with PipeWire managing the resampling to keep the clocks of the devices in sync. This can later also be used to force devices to be grouped together to create a JACK-like scheduling group. + Streams and filter now use PIPEWIRE_NODE and PIPEWIRE_LATENCY env variables as fallback. + ACP add per device port list. This makes UCM devices expose the right ports. + Fix some segfaults in ACP and UCM. + make pw-cat use the metadata to find default devices. + The media session can now save and load audio device Profiles and Routes (volumes), stream volumes and the default sink and sources. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Aug 13 11:28:16 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.9: + Fix bad audio in chrome + Remove some errors that are not real errors. + Fix 100% cpu when disconnecting devices. + Improve pulseaudio introspection of formats + Fix JACK metadata handling, carla can now monitor the port it creates and insert midi. + Add a new permission bit (M) that is needed to be able to configure metadata on an object. Improve security of metadata some more, only allow metadata on objects that are visible to the client setting the metadata. + Add support for videocrop in the GStreamer elements. + Improve handling of the runtime directory for the server sockets. Add some reasonable fallback when XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set, as suggested in the spec. + Improve ALSA device names from ACP. + Fix various crasher bugs. One in the pulse layer, one in the session manager. + Make alsa plugin respect the PIPEWIRE_REMOTE env variable. + Various compile fixes. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jul 31 07:50:45 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.8: + Fix an embarrassing crasher in the JACK layer when metadata keys were removed. + Make it possible to add properties to jack clients with a PIPEWIRE_PROPS env variable. This can be used to make JACK nodes look like a device (like an effects rack). + Improvements in the session manager in how it links ports. Now it will try to link matching channels first and be more intelligent otherwise. The session manager will also configure the stream to the device port configuration when needed. + Add ofono backend for Bluetooth HeadSet support. + Improve default source and sink handling. They are now stored with their id, instead of name, in the metadata. This makes it work better with JACK because of JACK's limited name length. + Improve environment variables to make it possible to create and connect to servers other than "pipewire-0". Implement this in pulseaudio, JACK and alsa layers. + Add an alsa mixer plugin so that alsamixer works with PipeWire. It will configure the default source/sink volumes. + Fix capture devices. There was something wrong with how the resampler was used that caused corruption in the signal when the resampler was active. + We now ship alsa card paths, profile-sets configuration files and udev rules so that we don't have to rely on the pulseaudio ones. + Many build and stability fixes. - Update to version 0.3.7: + Improved PulseAudio compatibility. The alsa card profile code was reused from PulseAudio. Devices now support all profiles, ports, jack detection, UCM and hardware mixers that PulseAudio implements. There should not be (almost) any difference between PipeWire and PulseAudio in how it presents and manages devices. Other missing API pieces such as the default sink/source and move_stream are implemented now. At this point it should be possible to replace PulseAudio with the compatibility layer for those who want to try. + Many fixes and improvements to the GStreamer elements. pipewiresrc now has the ability to periodically resend the last frame. This makes it possible for use-cases like screensharing to only update the screen on changes while still keeping the client side encoder busy. PipeWire elements can now also share a connection between them. + Improvements to the bluetooth nodes. Dynamically adding and removing devices should work much smoother now. Many fixes and improvements to a2dp and sco nodes. + Reduced memory usage by using less pre-allocated memory where possible. JACK clients are especially using less memory. + Support for passive links is added again. These are links that don't cause the associated driver to become active. This makes it possible to have blocks of effects+sinks go to suspend as a group when not in use. + Both consumers and producers can now ask to renegotiate the format. This required some cleanups and improvements to how links and node states were handled. More work is needed to implement more use cases. + Important fixes to how memory is shared with clients. Memory was not correctly freed in all cases, which would result in reuse of the wrong memory. + Support for planar formats for audio and video was added. + Improved error handling in the session manager. + Metadata is now used to manage default audio source and sink devices. The session manager will try to link streams to the default device. Changing the default device will move streams to the new device. PulseAudio and JACK layers respect the default source/sinks. + Metadata is used to tag the desired output device for a stream and the session manager will move streams when the metadata changes. The PulseAudio layer uses this to implement the move_stream feature. + Many fixes to the security modules. The session manager now has a flatpak module that grants permissions to flatpak apps. The PulseAudio layer now respects the permissions of objects. Security related properties are made read-only now. Different access modules can now coexist. + The portal module has been split up in 2 parts: - a part living in the daemon that monitors the portal dbus owner and tags all clients from this PID. This part has to run in the daemon in order to securely tag the clients. - a part in the session manager that uses the permission store to manage the permissions of portal managed clients. - Drop patches already included in 0.3.7: + 0001-client-node-fix-buffer-size-calculation.patch + 0002-gst-fix-proxy-leaks.patch + 0003-pulse-fix-pa_card_info-profiles2-array-to-be-NULL-terminated.patch + 0004-pulse-fix-size-calculation.patch + 0005-jack-fix-crash-on-close-when-metadata-are-not-available.patch + 0006-a2dpsink-only-request-new-data-when-buffer-is-done.patch + 0007-pulse-fix-counter-while-populating-car_info-profiles.patch + 0008-impl-link-reset-state-before-starting-allocation.patch + 0009-impl-core-clear-the-mempool.patch + 0010-mem-reset-the-map-in-clear.patch + 0011-avoid-uninitialized-variables.patch + 0012-dlclose-on-errors.patch + 0013-stream-handle-NULL-context.patch + 0014-state-always-update-state-variables.patch + 0015-spa-device-fix-leak-of-properties-in-error-case.patch + 0016-alsa-dont-leak-structure-on-error.patch + 0017-alsa-dont-leak-properties-on-error.patch + 0018-stream-fix-some-more-leaks-in-error-paths.patch + 0019-buffers-increase-max-datas-and-metadata-in-buffers.patch + 0020-gst-return-NULL-for-unknown-format.patch - Drop patch and replace it with a sed substitution since the patch context includes the package version and would have to be modified in every package update: + fix-meson-required-version.patch - Add patch to not install alsa card paths, profile-sets configuration files and udev rules which upstream installs "so that we don't have to rely on the pulseaudio ones". + do-not-install-alsa-config-files.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jul 15 07:26:01 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Recommend pipewire from libpipewire, so if the library is installed the daemon gets pulled in since we want a daemon to connect to. - Require pipewire-spa-plugins from pipewire instead of recommending it since the support plugin is actually required for most uses (like screen sharing in wayland, which we want to support out-of-the-box). - Enable the pipewire.socket systemd user service in %post (using pulseaudio's %post section as an example of how to do it since systemd-presets-common-SUSE currently lacks support for user services). Also disable it in %preun and %postun. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jul 14 08:25:49 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add patches from upstream to fix many issues mainly related to memory leaks, crashes and wrong behaviour: + 0001-client-node-fix-buffer-size-calculation.patch + 0002-gst-fix-proxy-leaks.patch + 0003-pulse-fix-pa_card_info-profiles2-array-to-be-NULL-terminated.patch + 0004-pulse-fix-size-calculation.patch + 0005-jack-fix-crash-on-close-when-metadata-are-not-available.patch + 0006-a2dpsink-only-request-new-data-when-buffer-is-done.patch + 0007-pulse-fix-counter-while-populating-car_info-profiles.patch + 0008-impl-link-reset-state-before-starting-allocation.patch + 0009-impl-core-clear-the-mempool.patch + 0010-mem-reset-the-map-in-clear.patch + 0011-avoid-uninitialized-variables.patch + 0012-dlclose-on-errors.patch + 0013-stream-handle-NULL-context.patch + 0014-state-always-update-state-variables.patch + 0015-spa-device-fix-leak-of-properties-in-error-case.patch + 0016-alsa-dont-leak-structure-on-error.patch + 0017-alsa-dont-leak-properties-on-error.patch + 0018-stream-fix-some-more-leaks-in-error-paths.patch + 0019-buffers-increase-max-datas-and-metadata-in-buffers.patch + 0020-gst-return-NULL-for-unknown-format.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jul 3 08:29:04 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Rebase patches used in SLE/Leap: + do-not-use-snd_pcm_ioplug_hw_avail.patch + fix-memfd_create-call.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jun 16 09:04:18 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.6 (boo#1171433, jsc#ECO-2308): + Extensive memory leak fixing and stress testing was done. A big leak in screen sharing with DMA-BUF was fixed. + Compile fixes + Stability improvements in jack and pulseaudio layers. + Added the old portal module to make the Camera portal work again.

Stability improvements on plug/unplug in session manager. + Make it possible to set log level from config file + improve debug of param negotiation errors. Log the parameters to stderr/journal. + Make it possible to configure global logger implementation. + Fix NEON detection + JACK and PulseAudio compatibility improvements - Update to version 0.3.4: + A quick update with some important stability fixes. - Update to version 0.3.3: + NEON optimizations for audio conversion (32 and 64 bits) + rework of session manager implementation + Add option to disable modules in the session manager + Release midi hardware devices when suspended + various build fixes + Clean up options of various utils + Stability improvements + Mayor improvements in pulseaudio emulation. Improved timings and compatibility. + Implementation of drain and flush in pulse and alsa emulation. + Implement poll on file descriptors. + Improvement of metadata for jack emulation. + Fix memory and thread problems in jack emulation. + Simplification of state changes. Should make more use cases work in the jack emulation. + Improvements in the gstreamer elements. Removal of extra internal queue. pipewiresink can now be used to play audio. + Add pw-jack and pw-pulse scripts to run pulseaudio and jack applications with the right library path. - Replace libpulse* replacement packages with a single pipewire-libpulse-0_3 package that includes all libraries installed in the non-standard directory %{_libdir}/pipewire-0.3/pulse and a new pw-pulse wrapper script. Likewise for the jack replacement libraries in a new pipewire-libjack-0_3 package. - Use update-alternatives for the wrapper scripts. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Apr 1 07:35:48 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Use the License rpm tag to specify that although most of pipewire is licensed under MIT, the pulseaudio replacement library is licensed under LGPL-2.1+. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 31 15:11:45 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Use gcc9 to build in SLE-15 / Leap 15, since at least gcc8 is needed now. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 31 10:48:28 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.2: + build fixes + Added support for data type negotiation. This makes it possible for a client to say that it can handle DMABuf and MemFd and then let the server select a compatible format. + Handle errors when enumerating parameters better. + Add support for rate, format, channels and period_bytes to the alsa config file to restrict what alsa apps can negotiate. + Fix JACK midi output. + Optimizations in common audio format conversions using AVX2. Small optimizations to plugins. + Change the vulkan compute example to an MIT licensed shader. + Remove some hardcoded defaults in the audio and video processing and use the values from the processing context. This also fixes the vulkan example. + Correct the documentation and defaults in the daemon config file. + Fix alsa and v4l2 buffer recycle. A paused client could cause the server to leak all buffers. + Remove some warnings that should be ignored. + Fix a crash in the bluez5 plugins. + Try to select higher quality formats first when negotiating a format with an audio device. + Fix an infinite loop in udev detection in some cases. + Add non-interactive mode to pw-cli. You can now just do "pw-cli ls Port" to get a listing of all ports. pw-cli will now also connect to the default server by default and has options to select a different server. + Allow the server to go up to the maximum quantum (8192 samples or ~=180ms) if a client explicitly wants this. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Mar 23 13:56:45 UTC 2020 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com> - Update to version 0.3.1+48: + Fix 32bit build. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Mar 18 16:33:21 UTC 2020 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com> - Switch to source service, update to explicit head, file with non-compliant license replaced. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 17 10:58:42 UTC 2020 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com> - Switch license to MIT and actually package it. - Add doxygen, graphviz and xmltoman BuildRequires and pass docs and man = true to meson, build documentation. Package docs in a new docs sub-package. - Add check section and run meson_test macro, run tests during build. - Add fdupes BuildRequires and pass fdupes macro, remove duplicate files. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Mar 9 16:11:08 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Update to version 0.3.1: + This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous 0.3.x releases. + Don't load the rtkit module by default. It can cause a sigkill, which is not desirable for mutter, for example. Only enable this for the jack library for now. + Don't use pthread cancel by default because it uses a signal that might crash some apps. Only use it for the jack library because jack clients really expect this. + Build fixes for -Werror=suggest-attribute=format + improve error messages, don't report harmless errors and warnings. Try to send error messages to the proxy that started the operation or is the owner of the object. + pw-cat: midi improvement, add midi recording and dump in verbose mode + fix properties when loading spa-nodes from the config + Fix and update some examples + jack: check arguments and don't crash when invalid + Fix buffer memory upload. + jack: fix compatibility with zrythm. Fix timemaster install, improve sample_rate callback. Fix reposition handling. + fix crash in port after buffer negotiation error. + add support for control ports in pw_filter + fix cleanup of the metadata module + improve param enumeration. + Clear stream buffers when the format is cleared. + Add create-object command in the config file to create object from a factory. + Fix crash after the driver was not removed from unassigned nodes. Also properly pause inactive nodes. + Use "true" and "false" in properties when we are talking about a boolean. + pulseaudio: improve compatibility ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Feb 21 15:13:15 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add patch to build correctly with glibc < 2.27 (like in SLE/Leap): + fix-memfd_create-call.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Feb 21 12:32:01 UTC 2020 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - Add BuildRequires for pkgconfig(sndfile) and pkgconfig(vulkan) so the vulkan plugin is built. - Version the spa-plugins subpackage so different versions of the plugins can be co-installed in the future. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Feb 20 18:54:53 UTC 2020 - Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com> - Update to version 0.3.0: + The 0.3 release is a major milestone in the developement of PipeWire. It features a complete redesign of the scheduling mechanisms that make it possible to run a JACK compatibility layer with comparable performance to JACK2. + The API has been reworked and is declared stable now. All developement files and runtime paths are versioned so that future incompatible changes can be done without breaking exising applications. + PipeWire 0.3 also includes a (now mandatory) session manager that populates and controls the PipeWire graph. This example session manager is very simple and not configurable. It is expected that future version will either switch to a more flexible session manager (like WirePlumber) or improve the configuration options of the example session manager. + PipeWire 0.3 includes both PulseAudio, JACK and ALSA compatibility libraries that are known to support a wide range of applications. The ALSA library is pretty complete at this point. The JACK and mostly the PulseAudio compatibility libraries need more work. See the Wiki pages for the current compatibility problems. We do not yet encourage people to switch away from their existing audio solutions (PulseAudio or JACK) but we would love to hear from people who try it anyways. Future versions will mostly focus on improving compatibility further to make PipeWire a drop-in replacement. PipeWire comes with some GStreamer plugins to consume and produce data for PipeWire. The consumer (pipewiresrc) is working well in most cases. The sink (pipewiresink) is known to be somewhat problematic for now. - Add pkgconfig(bluez) and pkgconfig(libpulse) BuildRequires: New dependencies. - Bump libpipewire, apiver and spa_ver define following upstreams changes.
