| Summary: X11 support For PipeWire, A Multimedia Framework | |
PipeWire is a server and user space API to deal with multimedia pipelines. The framework is used to build a modular daemon that can be configured to: * Be a low-latency audio server with features like pulseaudio and/or jack; * A video capture server that can manage hardware video capture devices and provide access to them; * A central hub where video can be made available for other applications such as the gnome-shell screencast API. This package contains X11 bell support for PipeWire.

process function is called because of xrun recovery.
- Properly stop nodes in all cases, this avoids spurious xruns
and scheduling errors. (#4122)
- Make sure async nodes receive an async link in all cases. Do
the processing of source output ports slightly differently to
make sure we don't cause latency for sources. (#4138)
(#4133)
- Fix some races when negotiating and starting nodes. (#4094)
- Actually include the config.h header to use malloc_trim() to
reduce memory usage in pulse-server.

* Fri Jun 28 2024 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Update to version 1.2.0:
* This is the 1.2 release that is API and ABI compatible with
previous 1.1.x and 1.0.x releases.
* This release contains some of the bigger changes that happened
since the 1.0 release last year, including:
- Support for asynchronous processing has been implemented.
Nodes can choose (or be forced) to be scheduled
asynchronously. The graph will not wait for the output of the
node to continue processing but it will use the output of the
previous cycle (or silence) instead. This adds one cycle of
latency but it can avoid having some nodes blocking the
processing graph. Non realtime streams and filters now also
use this asynchronous processing instead of their own
slightly broken version.
- The concept of node.sync-group was added. This groups nodes
with overlapping sync-group together when one of them sets
the node.sync = true. This is now used to make sure all nodes
are scheduled together when JACK transport is started so that
they all see the same transport time.
- Config parsing errors are reported earlier and much better
with line and column numbers where the parsing started to
fail.
- Add support for mandatory metadata when negotiating buffer
parameters. This can be used to only negotiate extra buffer
planes when certain metadata is negotiated. One use case is
the explicit sync support that requires 2 extra fds for the
timelines.
- Explicit sync metadata and support was added.
- Support was added for making and using multiple data-loops
in the server and clients. Support for CPU affinity and
priorities was added to the data-loops as well.
- The log topic debug levels can now be changed at runtime with
metadata.
- The log levels in the pulse server can be dynamically changed
with a /core message.
- The UCM conflicting devices patches were merged.
- Add snapcast-discover module to stream to snapcast servers.
- Rework how peers are linked and the counters are updated.
Resume the peers when a node is unlinked and not yet
processed. This should cause less occasional dropouts in the
graph when reconnecting things.
- Many GStreamer element updates.
- Many more fixes and improvements.
* Highlights (since the previous 1.1.83 release)
- Small fixes here and there.
* PipeWire

some rules. This deprecates the vm.overrides.
- Support was added for security-context. This makes it
possible for a flatpak to request a socket with specific
properties from pipewire to mount in the flatpak. The session
manager can then assign permissions based on the connection
properties.

- Update to version 0.3.81:
* Highlights
- jackdbus support is now enabled by default.

to make the transition easier.
- Forced quantum changes by nodes or metadata will now also
force a suspend and resume of the graph, like the rate

reconfigure the hardware to a new period in IRQ-based
scheduling.
- Fix a regression in regex parsing.

together to get lower latency. This now matches what JACK
does and gives equal latency to PipeWire for Pro-Audio
profiles.

- Some improvements to passthrough handling.
* Bluetooth
- Improvements to the codec handling when PipeWire is used as
Audio Gateway.

- Improve compatibility with more devices, avoid reusing the
same transport for different media-sink instances to avoid
encoder resets.
- Improve enumeration of codec profiles for BAP and A2DP.
* JACK
- Ensure we can't iterate ports from a deactivated client. Also
make sure the JACK clients with the node.always-process=false

* 0001-pulse-server-set-all-change_mask-flags-when-removing.patch
* Sat Aug 05 2023 Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru>
- Update to version 0.3.77:
* Highlights
- Fix a bug in ALSA source where the available number of
samples was miscaluclated and resulted in xruns in some
cases.
- A new L permission was added to make it possible to force a
link between nodes even when the nodes can't see eachother.
- The VBAN module now supports midi send and receive as well.
- Many cleanups and small fixes.
* PipeWire
- Global objects now only show permissions that apply to them.

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 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 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 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 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 08 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 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 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 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 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 02 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 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

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

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.

* reduce-meson-dependency.patch
* Thu Apr 13 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 06 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 2023 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Add pkgconfig(lc3) BuildRequires, and pass
bluez5-codec-lc3=enabled to meson.
* Thu Mar 09 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 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 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 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:

- 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.
(glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2891)
- The filter-chain now supports an arbitrary number of control
properties. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2933)
- It is now possible to assign custom port names to the ports
from an adapter with the PW_KEY_NODE_CHANNELNAMES.

fail. This caused problems for espeak.
(glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2928)
- TARGET_OBJECT is now used to make it possible to use the
indexes as a target.
- ladspa-source and remap-source can now also link to monitors.
* ALSA

- Update to version 0.3.62:
* Highlights
- A regression in screensharing was fixed. It was caused by a race when
activating links and driver nodes.
- Video transform metadata was added so that cameras and screen sharing
can report the video orientation and transformations.
- Support for the PulseAudio module-gsettings was added to make paprefs
work.
- Support for bluetooth offloading was added. This allows for the bluetooth
reception, decoding and playback to happen completely in hardware.
This also requires some support in WirePlumber.
- Many bugfixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- More work on stopping nodes in a more controlled way.
- Fix a race in starting nodes and drivers. In some cases the driver
node would already be started while the link to the peer node was not
ready yet. This caused regressions in screen sharing. The driver is
now only started after all the followers and links completed.

frame was transformed (rotated/flipped). libcamera and the GStreamer
elements now have support for this metadata.
- The SPA volume plugin is now disabled from the default build.
- Handle missing control info in libcamera.
- Handle errors from loop better, don't call the callbacks on errors.
- Somewhat improve performance in some audioconvert AVX2 code for format
conversion.

audioadapter to reflect what is actually going on instead of using
hardcoded values.
- Pass ignore-dB property correctly in all cases.
- Probing is now done in 48KHz again. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2857)
* Pulse-server
- IPv4 addresses are now added first to the list and exposed first with
zeroconf discover.
- module-gsettings was added to make paprefs work.
- The pulse.idle.timeout option was disabled by default and only enabled
for selected apps (speech-dispatcher) because it caused some problems
for other apps. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2880)
* JACK
- Only process valid ports. Could fix some crashes. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2863)
* Bluetooth
- Support was added for offloading bluetooth handling. Some hardware can
receive, decode and play the bluetooth audio directly in hardware.
* Sun Dec 04 2022 Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@inai.de>
- Drop dependency on SDL2; this leads to a build cycle with SDL2
itself, and is only needed for pipewire example code anyway.
* Thu Nov 24 2022 Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru>
- Update to version 0.3.61:
* Highlights

- Optimise away some useless graph recalculations.
- Increase alternative sample rates from 16 to 32.
- Silence some module loading errors when the error can be
ignored.

otherwise for some unknown reason.
- Force playback start when the ALSA buffer is full. This fixes
sound in QEMU.

- Improve format renegotiation in audioadapter. This makes the
ALSA plugin work again for deadbeef.
- Fix latency reporting on adapter DSP ports.
* pulse-server
- Fix a bug where openal based applications would hang.
- Improve zeroconf publish. Only publish on the address of the
first running server. This avoids duplicate entries for IPv4
and IPv6.
Add support for republish entries when new servers are
started.
- Add a pulse.idle.timeout option (default to 5 seconds) to
pause streams that have been underrunning for this amount of
time. 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. It was only called once for output
ports.
- Add option to set node.passive on jack clients. Make some
quirks for qsynth to make it suspend and fade out better.

many crasher bugs.
- A new RTP module was added with a sender and receiver.
It uses SAP to announce and consume RTP streams and is
compatible with the PulseAudio RTP modules.
- Many small bluetooth improvements and fixes.
- The alsa plugin will now only start playback when there is
data. This results in better synch and lower latency between
capture and playback.

to the requested one (instead of picking the default).
* Modules
- Fix some crashes in filter-chain.

- pw-top now also shows IEC958 passthrough formats and
JPEG/H264 video formats.
- pw-top refreshes the screen faster.
- pw-top now prints the state of the node and shows less info
for inactive nodes.
- pw-dump now uses the new seq field in the spa_param_info to
discard old param updates and avoid duplicate params in the
output.

- The ALSA MIDI sequencer will now pull data from the graph
even when it did not output anything. Fixes some graph stalls
with the sequencer in some cases.
- v4l2 and libcamera sources now recycle buffers when nothing
is consuming them. This avoids stalling the graph.
- libcamera now suggests a more appropriate frame size than the
smallest poster frame.

jack_drop_real_time_scheduling() by keeping the thread utils
in a global state.
- Fix jack_client_thread_id() to return NULL when the client is
not active, just like jack1 and jack2.
- An option was added to let the jack_set_buffer_size()
function update the global metadata. A quirk was added so
that jack_bufsize uses this new feature to make the buffer
size settings persistent and global, just like jack.
- jack_port_register() and jack_port_unregister() can be called
on an active client so make this thread safe.
- Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch.

- Recommend pipewire-alsa (instead of alsa-plugins-pulse) from
pipewire-pulseaudio (boo#1201409)
* Tue Jul 19 2022 Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru>
- Update to version 0.3.56:
* Highlights
- A critical bug that could crash JACK applications was fixed.
- Some more regressions in audiomixer were fixed. This should
fix crackling and stuttering in some cases as well as some
channel mapping regressions.
- A bug in the alsa plugin was fixed that could cause
stuttering in VMs.
- Bluetooth sources should have improved latency and rate
control.
- Many more bugfixes and improvements.
* Modules
- An experimental AVB module was added. It can expose PipeWire
as an AVB entity and initiate (broken) streaming between
entities.
- module-loopback now handles the cases where the input and
output channels are different without crashing or producing
silence.
- The filter-chain module now correctly calculates the output
size without crashing in some cases. It also skips invalid
ports instead of crashing.
- Handle and report pthread errors better.
* SPA
- The resampler qualities were tweaked a little.
- A bug that would sometimes cut off the last part of a buffer
was fixed in the alsa plugin. This could cause broken audio
in VMs.
- Access to the alsa mixer and devices is now checked more
thoroughly.
- The spa-resample tool can now also handle large downsampling
rates without crashing.
- Audioconverter now uses rounding for float to int
conversions, which reduces distortions. Compilation of the C
subroutines was separated and uses its own optimisation flags
now.
- Noise shaping was improved in audioconvert. A new Wannamaker
3 tap shaper was added.
- Audioconvert now uses a pattern for generating keep alive
noise. This should have much less energy and be even more
inaudible.
- A channel mapping bug was fixed in audioconvert.
- The dsp audio mixer would sometimes not mix enough and cause
dropouts.
* JACK
- A critical bug in the mixer was fixed. It would cause most
JACK applications to segfault at start-up.

boilerplate settings. The examples are now just config
snippets that can be dropped in .conf.d/ directories, such as
the filter-chain.conf.d/ one.
- Start suggesting to use target.object instead of node.target
in docs and examples.
* SPA
- Use the cosh window again for the resampler. It should now
give better resampler quality.
- Rework the mixer functions. They were rewritten for higher
precision and better performance. Add unit tests and
benchmarks.
- Improve format conversion for 32bits for avoid errors in
clang because of undefined behaviour at extreme ranges.
- Fix a bug in audioconvert where it would not consume the
right amount of samples when the resampler was disabled.
This could cause skipping and hickups.
- Fix bug in audioconvert where it would try to convert the
input samples multiple times, causing strange artefacts when
upmixing.
- Be more strict about valid JSON floats.
- device.vendor.id and device.product.id should now always show
up in 0xXXXX format and should not be converted to floats in
pw-dump anymore.
- Add triangular dither, add unit tests for noise generation,
add some more optimisations.
* Bluetooth
- HFP and A2DP now expose different routes and thus can have
different volumes.
- HW Volumes for HFP are now synchronised better.
Volume changes from HW buttons are now also saved.
- Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch.
- Add 0001-jack-only-mix-when-we-have-input-to-mix.patch: Fix an
Ardour start-up crash.
* Thu Jul 07 2022 Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru>
- Update to version 0.3.54:

old adapter had internal buffering that was abused in some
places.
- The bluetooth sources were rewritten using a ringbuffer to
make them more reliable to jitter and remove old audioconvert
behaviour.
- Many improvements to the audio converter.
- Native DSD128 and up is now supported by pw-dsdplay.

activated again. A new lossless conversion test was added.
- Fix an underrun case where the adapter would not ask for more
data.

* Thu Jun 30 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.

- Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch.
* Wed Jun 22 2022 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Add patch from upstream to remove 44.1kHz from allowed rates.
This reverts the new behaviour in 0.3.52 which is causing
problems to too many people (boo#1200760):
* 0001-settings-remove-44.1KHz-from-allowed-rates-again.patch
* Thu Jun 09 2022 Alexei Sorokin <sor.alexei@meowr.ru>

- Add refcounts to client and resources to handle destroy of
the protocol.
- Handle global node.name in filter-chain and loopback again,
use it to construct unique stream names.

- Fix some crashes due to wrong vargar types in v4l2 controls.
- Improve ALSA resync behaviour.
- Add support for Komplete Audio 6 MK2.
- Improve loop cancel while iterating.
- Try not to mix surround channels and AUX channels. Make card
with many ports look better when not using the Pro Audio
profile.
- Vulkan filters were added.
* Bluetooth
- Add LC3plus vendor codec.
- Handle unsupported indicators better.
- Ensure multiple devices on an adapter use different codecs
because one endpoint can only be used by one device at a time.
- Fix bitpool control as a follower.
- Handle bluetooth errors better.
- Speed up bluetooth connection by only waiting for the profiles
supported by the adapter.
- The dummy AVRCP player is disabled by default because it seems
to break more devices than it fixes.

started with a resonably accurate latency.
- Fix ringbuffer underrun case.
- module-native-protocol-tcp now has a auth-anonymous option to
give full access to the clients.
- Report a node as being moved when it is still moving. This
improves compatibility with pasystray.
- Avoid overallocating message memory.
- Don't export NETWORK nodes in zeroconf.
- Fix stride for TrueHD and DTSHD passthrough.

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 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 2022 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Reorder BuildRequires and space conditions a bit better in the
spec file.
* Tue Mar 29 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. (#1714)
- Many bugfixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- Fix a potential crash when NULL params were configured.
- Add some simple functional tests to avoid some recent
regressions. 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 03 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 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 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 might access invalid memory and cause infinite
loops in older wireplumber.
- Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch.
* Thu Feb 17 2022 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Update to version 0.3.46:
* Highlights:
- Fix a critical bug in pipewire-pulse buffer size handling
that made some apps (MuseScore, ... ) stutter.
- Fix a critical bug where devices would not show when the
kernel was compiled without VERBOSE_PROCSFS.
- JACK clients will now 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.
- 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. Fixes some
issues with various applications. (#2100)
- Module properties are now remapped correctly from their
pulseaudio variant to the PipeWire ones.
- Fix module index in introspect. 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 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. Hence, ldconfig should be run to make sure
the dynamic linker picks them up.
* Thu Feb 03 2022 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Update to version 0.3.45:
* Highlights
- Zoom, telegram and other apps should be able to play sound
again.
- Implement a better way to force and lock JACK buffersize.
- Default sink and source names and properties are improved.
- The config loader can now load and merge fragments in conf.d
directories for easier user configuration of config files.
- Many small bug fixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- pw-cli can now also send Commands to nodes. This can be used
to Suspend a device, for example.
- The eventfd was removed from loops and invoke is now used to
stop the loop, this saves an fd.
- New Alpine CI target to test musl builds, various build
fixes.
- Add force-quantum and force-rate properties.
- The config loader can now load and merge fragments in conf.d
directories. (#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 01 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 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 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:

- Add several more patches from upstream
- BlueZ may be missing adapter information for devices in some cases.
Ignore devices without specified adapter:
* 0001-bluez5-dont-create-device-if-adapter-is-missing.patch
- Fix a case when pipewwire could never call callbacks or even
block forever when loop is not running:

- Reconfigure when monitor changes
* 0001-merger-also-reconfigure-when-monitor-changes.patch
- Handle NULL props from metadata object
* 0001-pw-metadata-handle-NULL-props-from-metadata-object.patch
- Improve rate selection so we don't select an invalid rate when
the default is set or the card is already opened in an
unsupported rate:
* 0001-alsa-improve-rate-selection.patch
* Fri Jan 14 2022 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Add several patches from upstream
- Avoid an infinite loop when enumerating params of the converter:

- When the device or adapter is NULL, skip the quirk checks instead
of crashing:
* 0001-bluez5-handle-missing-device-and-adapter-in-quirks.patch
- Remember the last returned value from jack_get_buffer_size and
only emit a buffersize change event when something new is
configured. 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 2022 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Added more baselibs packages and their dependencies
* Wed Jan 05 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 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 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Remove unneccesary Conflicts with packages that are Obsoleted
* Thu Dec 16 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 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 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 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Use the gcc9-c++ compiler in SLE/Leap so it builds successfully.
* Mon Dec 13 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 2021 Fabian Vogt <fabian@ritter-vogt.de>
- Drop server packages from baselibs.conf. Only the client parts
are needed in there.
* Fri Dec 10 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Minor aesthetic changes in the spec file
* Thu Dec 09 2021 Neal Gompa <ngompa@opensuse.org>
- Enable AAC support for Leap 15.4+
* Thu Dec 09 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 09 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 03 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 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 03 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Recommend wireplumber so it's preferred to pipewire-media-session
* Fri Oct 29 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 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>

built in Leap15.3/SLE15-SP3
* Thu Oct 21 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Fix %systemd_user_post using the now separated
pipewire-media-session.service
* Thu Oct 21 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".

* 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 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. (#1646)
* Bluetooth
- Avoid probing the native backend because it might block for DBus
activation. This fixes some long startup times.
- Fix the kernel version check, 5.14.x kernels should also support
mSBC.
- Fix FastStream microphone support in more cases.
- Add workaround for Intel AX200.
- SCO sink should now also work in follower mode.

- Add BuildRequires: pkgconfig(readline) so pw-cli is built with
readline support
* Thu Sep 23 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Update to version 0.3.37:
* Highlights
- Capture and playback is now avoided even more on unavailable
devices. This should fix some issues where an unusable
microphone was selected by default. It should now also again
be possible to select an unavailable device as the default.
- Native DSD audio playback is now supported. pw-cat can now
also play DSF files with the -d option.
- JACK stability improvements with buffer-size and samplerate
changes in some apps.
- Many cleanups and bugfixes all over the place.
* PipeWire
- pw-metadata -d does not cause an infinite loop anymore.
(#1622)
- Increase some plugin buffer sizes to fix some issues with
many channels. (#1620)
- Protect the global plugin list with a lock. Make sure
pw_init() is locked. Fixes some issues with concurrent ALSA
plugin usage.
* media-session
- Unavailable devices can be set as the default again. (#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. (#1486)
* JACK
- Delay emiting the samplerate and buffersize callbacks until

* 0002-update-version-number-as-well.patch
* Thu Sep 16 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Update to version 0.3.36:
* Highlights
- A quick update with mostly only bugfixes and small
improvements.
- Capture and playback is now avoided on unavailable devices.
This should fix some issues where an unusable microphone was
selected by default.
- MIDI output should not stop randomly now.
- The GStreamer elements are much improved, cheese should work
a lot better now.
- Virtual sinks and sources should now always show up
immediately.
- JACK processing is now delayed until buffersize and
samplerate are emited. This should improve stability of many
JACK apps.
- JACK transport sync is now implemented correctly so that
preroll in bitwig works.
* PipeWire
- The module dir environment variable can now contain multiple
paths.
- Documentation now contains dot graphs of dependencies.
(#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 09 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 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 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 05 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 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 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 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 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 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Add %pre and %post sections to the new media-session subpackage.

- 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.

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.

- 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.

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

* Tue Jun 01 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 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.

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 03 2021 Yifan Jiang <yfjiang@suse.com>

bug makes cheese video record abnormally longer than it should be
(rh#1884260).
- Replace all tab characters to space.
* Thu Apr 29 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Add %systemd_ordering so systemd is installed before pipewire
on fresh installations. This allows to set the service presets
correctly on new systems since the %systemd_user_* macros don't
do anything if systemd is not installed (boo#1185459).

API only supports up to 32 channels so only make those 32
first channels available with the PA API.
- Implement module-simple-protocol-tcp.
- Improve events emitted by the server.
- Improvements to channels and channel_map properties on
modules. One can imply the other and they should match when
both given.

switching should work better now.
- Wait until all devices are scanned before linking clients.
- Fixes some crashes
- Sinks (monitors) can now be set as default sources.
+ Device support
- Fix startup timers for alsa devices.
- Improve timers in alsa when quantum changes. It should cause
less xruns and cracks.

patent-encumbered) and libcamera (problems in building).
* Wed Mar 17 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- systemd-rpm-macros doesn't have a consistent versioning between
distributions, so better assume it's updated enough to support
%systemd_user_pre
* Tue Mar 16 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Add systemd rpm macros for pipewire.service as well as
pipewire.socket .

recognize when a service was installed for the first time and
enable it on %systemd_user_post (boo#1183012)
* Tue Mar 09 2021 Frederic Crozat <fcrozat@suse.com>
- Update to version 0.3.23:
+ Highlights
- Fixes for some critical bugs in last release.
- Fix bug where audio was not drained properly at the end of
playback, causing repeating sound.
- Profile and route switching was improved and should mimic
more what pulseaudio did.
- Various fixes for xruns in capture and playback.
- Bluetooth now supports delay adjustment and various other
improvements.
- The pulseaudio server now correctly identifies AC3 and DTS
streams and returns a not supported error instead of playing
static.
- Multichannel support was improved in the alsa plugin and
the channel mixer. Channels should now play on the right
speakers in all cases.
+ PipeWire improvements
- Small fixes and improvements in JSON parsing and encoding.
- Improvements to param handling in audioconverter. It would
previously not always notify of changes.
- Avoid updating some properties that we use internally such
as the object id and the node.id.
- log.level in the config files is now actually used.
- the PIPEWIRE_LATENCY env variable should always override
any application settings in filter/stream/jack.
- The config file can now contain filer and stream properties
to, for example, control the resampler, mixer and latency.
- Add sandboxing to the systemd services
- Various FreeBSD fixes.
- Improve draining and a way to exit the drain state as well.
- Many multichannel fixes. Channel remapping should now be
correct.
- Fix bug with repeating audio at the end of playback because
the drain in the resampler was not draining all channels.
- RTKit default rt.prio has been increased to 88. This will
likely still be clamped to 20 until distros increase the
max priority.
+ Session-manager
- Don't try to switch to Pro Audio profile, this should be
a user choice only.
- Don't crash when metadata was disabled such as when not
using the audio features of pipewire.
- Rework the profile and route handling.
- Add systemd unit files for the media-session
- Device names should now also have sane names so that tab
pactl completion works on them.
+ Device support
- Fix ALSA format enumeration in more cases. Use the channels
and rate as a filter.
- Make sure the graph doesn't ever use buffers larger than
the alsa device buffer size or we get xruns.
- Tuning of the alsa device timeout handling and dynamic
resampler. There should now not be any xruns when streams
appear and disappear or when the quantum changes.
- Fix bug in alsa device when reassigning to a new driver,
in some cases the dynamic resampler was not activated and
things would drift out of sync and fail.
- Fixes in quantum changes for ALSA capture and how the
resampler is drained and fed with the new samples.
+ Bluetooth
- Delay adjustment has been implemented now. Bluetooth
devices should now be more synchronized with video due
to proper delay reporting. Because BT delays can be
large, it can cause hickups in some players.
- Fix volume in bluetooth devices.
- Codec switch improvements.
+ PulseAudio server
- Latency offset adjustment is now implemented and functional
for bluetooth devices. It is not working for alsa devices
yet.
- Handle unsupported formats. Previously we would accept encoded
formats and play noise. This fixes AC3 playback in vlc.
- Move some of the configurable parameters to the config file.
- Fix a fatal use after free when playing samples
- Improve module handling. loaded modules now show up in the
list of modules and can be unloaded. This also prepares the
core for more module implementations later.
+ ALSA plugin
- Fix drain with very large buffers, we need to manually start
the stream before draining.
- Fix the channel layout handling.
- Improve compatibility with apps that expect the poll to only
return when there is activity.
- Fix drain for capture
+ JACK
- Add a config option to shorten and filter client names
- Increase the length of the client name size and make sure
we don't exceed the allocated size.
- We now include our own jack header files so we can build
without depending on another jack-devel package. We don't
yet install the headers or provide pkgconfig files.
- Move alsa-card-profiles to modules subpackage, they are always
needed.
* Thu Mar 04 2021 Niklas Haas <obs@haasn.xyz>
- Build/install the `pw-top` tool:
+ Add pkgconfig(ncurses) BuildRequires to satisfy the build deps
of pw-top.
* Thu Feb 25 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>

specify in the patterns that we prefer the pulseaudio package
(boo#1182730)
* Thu Feb 25 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Update to version 0.3.22:
+ Highlights
- Per client config files replace the module-profiles. It's
now possible to tweak settings and load custom modules.
- Pro Audio card profile support. You can now select the
Pro Audio profile and have raw device access with the
maximum number of channels and no mixer controls. This is
the usual setup for managing high end Pro Audio cards.
- Many fixes and improvements in the JACK library to make
devices look and integrate better.
- Many bluetooth improvements. Playback should be more
reliable and better synchronized. Support for the HFP HF
profile.
- Small fixes and improvements all over the map.
+ PipeWire improvements
- Add support for restrictions requested by a client. This
makes it possible to implement Flatpak policy for emulated
PulseAudio clients as well.
- Fix removal of params in objects. Previously they would not
be removed from the cache.
- Remove mlock warnings by default. There is an option to
enable them again if you want to check if your system is
optimized.
- Remove LimitMEMLOCK lines from the service files. They can
only lower the system settings and are thus not useful.
- Implement per-client config files. Each pipewire client will
now read a config file that you can use to configure the
context of the client.
- Implement state and config load/save in pipewire. This is
used by the session manager or other apps.
- Make an option to disable dbus support.
- Add tool to convert pipewire config to JSON.

- More work on HSP and HFP support
- Fix initial profile configuration
- Add HFP HF support
+ PulseAudio server
- Small tweaks in capture packet size to avoid crashes in some
apps.
- Detect Flatpak apps and requests the flatpak permissions from
the session manager. This means that Flatpak pulseaudio apps
will now run with reduced permissions.
+ ALSA plugin
- Reduce min buffer size in the plugin for lower possible
latency.
+ JACK
- implement some missing methods to make qjackctl work again.
- Use the context data thread instead of making our own. This
fixes the issue where the data thread was not given RT
priority correctly.
- Pass extra jack flags around in port properties. This makes
CV ports in carla work.
- Many tweaks to the port names and aliases. Unwanted
characters are filtered out, giving better names to jack
apps. Default device names are now equal to those seen in
pulseaudio apps.
- Add an option to make a separate client for the monitor
ports of a device. This makes it more usable in apps.
- add support for system:playback_N and system:capture_N port
names for apps that hardcode these port names.
* Wed Feb 24 2021 Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>
- Re-add the Provides: pulseaudio; patterns-base now suggests
pulseaudio, which should help zypp in doing a smarter decision
(boo#1182730).
* Thu Feb 18 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- ldacBT only builds on little endian architectures, so we can't
buildrequire it on big endian systems like s390, s390x or ppc64.
* Wed Feb 17 2021 Dominique Leuenberger <dleuenberger@suse.com>
- Remove the pulseaudio provides from pipewire-pulseaudio:
We first need to ensure our KDE patterns (and others) become
smart enough to favor pulseaudio until we are ready for the
switch (boo#1182730).
* Wed Feb 03 2021 Dominik Schmidt <dev@dominik-schmidt.de>
- Update to version 0.3.21:
+ Highlights
- Many PulseAudio compatibility fixes. Handling of corked
streams, the prebuf setting, seek modes and stream flags
are now implemented correctly.
- Ports and Profiles are now managed by the session manager
and can save and restore previous settings.
ALSA device handling has been tweaked for maximum
compatibility at the expense of latency. There are tuning
options in the config file.
- Improved Bluetooth support. HSP is disabled by default
because it is old and deprecated and in some cases causes
conflicts with the newer HFP profile. Codec switching is
now implemented as well.
PipeWire accepts donations with liberapay now.
+ PipeWire improvements
- Improve draining in pw-stream.
pw-stream now uses busy metadata by default. This makes sure
that no writer can write to buffers when readers are still
busy.
- Fix handling of empty array/choice instead of failing.
- Fix crashes when creating properties from empty strings.
- Make it possible to pass an array to module-access
access.allowed variables
- Fix small bug in argument parsing in pw-cat
+ Session-manager
- Restore route volumes in all cases, also when switching
routes.
- Use a default route volume for unknown routes instead of
letting the system decide on a default.
Improve profile handling. Don't try to restore unavailable
profiles. Implement the profile switching in the session
manager now.
- Fix handling of Virtual sources as defaults.
- Handle port switching in the session manager. Implement
save and restore of default ports per profile.
+ GStreamer
- Fix a crash with zero SPA_PARAM_BUFFERS_size
+ Device support
- v4l2-source will now respect the requested memory types.
- ALSA buffering has been tweaked. USB devices should have
less XRuns by default. Parameters can be tweaked to
decrease the latency on capable devices. Also fix a case
where a quantum change would cause an xrun.
- Fix mute in bluetooth devices
bluetooth devices are not paused in idle anymore for
improved compatibility.
- Codec switching for bluetooth is implemented along with
config options to select the codecs manually.
- HSP for bluetooth is now disabled by default. Most devices
support the newer HFP profile and some devices fail when
both are available.
- Reduce the amount of events the ALSA plugins emit by bundling
them.
+ PulseAudio server
- Implement the suspend command
- Fixes volume in sample info
- Fix playback of samples, sometimes samples would be clipped
short. Also implement the target sink for the sample.
- Use rate match to feed samples. This way the latency can
be kept to a minimum.
- Latency has been tuned some more, more closely emulating
pulseaudio behaviour.
- Improve default sink/source handling. Make sure all events
are sent correctly when defaults change.
- Handle underrun better without causing sync issues. Make sure
to pause in corked state.
- Implement rewind due to seeks, fixes GStreamer seeking.
- Do not remove alsa-card-profiles, they are required
* Wed Feb 03 2021 Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>
- Provide pulseaudio by pipewire-pulseaudio: there are various
packages in the distro that require pulseaudio, but essentially,
they should be happy with pipewire-pulseaudio as a replacement.
Do not provide the symbol though, as we do not (yet) want to
automatically migrate users over.
* Thu Jan 21 2021 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Add pkgconfig(ldacBT-abr) and pkgconfig(ldacBT-enc)
BuildRequires: Build bluetooth ldac codec support.
* Wed Jan 20 2021 Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
- Update to version 0.3.20:
+ Highlights
- Latency was reduced in ALSA and PulseAudio and time
reporting has improved a lot.
- Bluetooth now has a native HFP backed, SBC XQ and
mSBC support.
- Many bugfixes and improvements, improved device
support.
+ PipeWire improvements
- pw-dump can now dump all objects such as Endpoints
- pw-dump has a -m option to monitor changes
- pw-dump can now dump metadata
- pw-stream can now use the rate-match io to exactly
produce the required number of samples for the
current cycle. When using this feature, a stream can
achieve the same low-latency as pw-filter.
- spa-acp-tool can now load a custom profile-set and
correctly parses the volume updates
- There is now a nofail option when loading modules
- The connection has been made reentrant to fix some
strange random problems with metadata.

more like how PulseAudio handles them
- Gracefully handle missing profile-sets
- There is now a native HFP backend
- Improve card names in some cases.
- pause-on-idle is now disabled for ALSA devices. This can
reduce pops and clicks when the device is stopped.
+ ALSA plugin
- Use rate-match to reduce the latency
- Implement a _delay() function to get smoother timestamps.
- Fix property parsing. Fixes volume changes in alsamixer.
+ PulseAudio server
- Use rate-match to reduce the latency. This also reduces
the buffering in audioconvert and improves timestamp
reporting.
- Implement rate changes now that we have rate-match
support.
- pactl stats will now work
- Fix excessive memory usage when a capture client doesn't
read fast enough.
* Wed Jan 13 2021 Frederic Crozat <fcrozat@suse.com>
- Update to version 0.3.19:
+ Highlights
- Startup after login should be fixed now with inotify
used to wait for permissions.
- Channels should be mapped correctly now.
- Many bluetooth improvements in LDAC, AptX-HD. AAC was
also added. Headsets should work better now.
- pipewire-libpulse was removed. It is now completely
replaced by pipewire-pulse.
- Fix a crasher bug in pipewire-pulse and some memory leaks.
- Fix a bug with feedback loop that would cause 100% CPU.
- A new pw-top tool to display real-time graph performance.
- The example session manager now has config files.
- The config file format was changed to use the SPA JSON
tokenizer. This makes it more flexible and extensible.
+ PipeWire improvements
- Fix debug of id in format channels
- Audioconvert should now remap channels correctly in all
cases.
- Feedback loops were not scheduled correctly and would
cause 100% CPU usage.
- Small improvements to the profiler to also log incomplete
graph status.
- a new tool pw-top was added that prints real-time performance
stats of the graph.
- the rtkit module now sets the nice level to -11
+ Session-manager
- The session manager would sometimes link dont-reconnect
nodes to another node, which would leak monitor streams in
pipewire-pulse.
- The session manager now has configuration files. Config files
can also be placed in the user home directory to make custom
configurations.
- The session managers now creates unique device and node
names for alsa and v4l2 devices.
+ Device support
- Many improvements in Bluetooth codecs, LDAC stuttering,
AptX-HD negotiation, LDAC ABR support
- Bluetooth supports AAC audio now.
- Many fixes to Bluetooth SCO transport used in headsets.
- inotify support in device monitors
- ACP was synced with the latest pulseaudio code
- Fix a bug in enumeration of device ports.
- PulseAudio server
- seek flags and offset are now supported, making gstreamer
pulse elements work better.
- Fix a crasher bug in pipewire-pulse, we sometimes would
write too much to the ringbuffer
- Fix some memory leaks in error cases.
- Fix handling of NULL string to locate default sink/source
+ JACK layer
- Ports can also be found with the aliases now, making
qjackctl work in more cases.
- Changes from PipeWire 0.3.18:
+ Highlights
- More work in the PulseAudio server. It should be compatible
with more applications.
- Bluetooth now support extra codecs such as AptX/HD and LDAC.
- Support for virtual sources and sink was improved a lot.
- Added a new pw-dump tool to dump the objects in JSON formats
and for filtering them with tools like jq.
- Many more stability fixes and improvements.
+ PipeWire improvements
- Silence some harmless warnings
- pw-cli can now be used to set parameters.
- Streams now perform the correct channel mapping when linked
to non-standard multichannel devices. Previously channels
would get swapped.
- port, node and device params are now cached in the server.
This avoids opening and closing devices whenever some client
enumerates formats, which improves performance a lot,
especially in cases where opening a device is slow.
- Add a command to keep a device open during negotiation. This
is used to enumerate and set a format while opening the
device just once, improving performance.
- The null-sink scheduling was fixed.
- A memory corruption bug was fixed in format conversion, this
could cause crashes, silent channels or other undefined
behaviour.
- There is now a simple JSON parser.
+ Session-manager
- Settings files are now stored in JSON. With the json parser
this is easier to parse and extend
+ Device support
- Bluetooth now supports additional codecs: LDAC, AptX and
AptX HD. LDAC is known to not work very well yet.
- ALSA devices will now default to the max supported channels
if nothing else is specified. This makes it possible to use
8+ channel cards with the alsa-pcm module, which is not
supported with the default alsa-acp module.
- Enable mSBC support in oFono.
- Add an option to disable hardware mixers
- ALSA now improves support for batch devices.
- The udev rules had references to Pulseaudio removed in order
to not create conflicts.
- Fix a potential crash in bluetooth devices when
disconnecting.
- UCM cards now use HW volume when possible.
+ PulseAudio server
- The id can now be used as the name to locate cards and
devices
- Report streams with planar formats as well
- Better error reporting when stream create fails
- module-null-sink can now handle channels, rate and
channel_map properties
- Add support for 3 types of virtual devices: source,
sink and duplex.
- set-port was fixed
- Some buffer parameters were tweaked to improve
performance, compatibility and stuttering with lower
latency.
- NULL can be used as a name for the device sink/source
- Support lookup of monitor names
- Set properties more like pulseaudio so that some
clients (Teamspeak) don't crash anymore
- Changes from PipeWire 0.3.17:
+ Highlights
- Fix crasher bug for kwin when screensharing stopped.
- Massive improvements and compatibility fixes in the
PulseAudio server.
- The session manager now has a config directory in
/etc/pipewire/media-session.d/ It will look for files there
to activate session manager modules. Packagers can use
this to only activate the audio modules when the PulseAudio
server, libjack.so or the alsa modules are installed.
+ PipeWire improvements
- We now clear hooks before adding them. Some application
did not clear them and had random data for the destroy
callback.
- Return -ENOENT from unknown resources so apps can handle
this better. It's a common problem when an app tries to
introspect and object but it disappeared before the message
reached the server. Apps should ignore this.
- channelmap information is now passed with the volume
settings.
- DMABuf is not mmapp()ed anymore with the FLAG_MAP_BUFFERS in
the stream or filter. This is because DMABuf usually
requires more that just a simple mmap and is better left
for the application.
- increase the maximum number of ports for a client-node.
- adapter and node-factory now support the linger option to
keep the objects alive after the creating client disconnected.
+ Device support
- ALSA now handles error in close(), like when unplugging a
USB device.
+ Session-manager
- The session manager is now handling DONT_RECONNECT streams
without a target node. They get connected to a default node
once and then fail to reconnect.
- The session manager now exposes the stream setting as
metadata. This makes it possible for other components, such
as pulse-server to use this information. Information is stored
as a json object for easier consumption.
- The session manager now has a config directory in
/etc/pipewire/media-session.d/ packagers can use this
+ PulseAudio server
- Pulse server now acquire the dbus name.
- Improvements in timing and compatibility with many apps.
- The stream-restore extension is now implemented so that
the event volume can be configured.
- Many stability fixes and improvements.
- Fix some issues with module-load/unload
- Changes from PipeWire 0.3.16:
+ Highlights
- Fix screensharing for old 0.2 clients
- Many pulse-server improvements. There is now a
pipewire-pulse binary that is the prefered solution for
PulseAudio compatibility. The replacement libpulse
libraries are now deprecated. This also makes audio in
Flatpak work.
+ PipeWire improvements
- Fix cleanup of listeners everywhere. Force remove of
listeners in _destroy to avoid crashes.
- Add support for a journald logger module.
- Various memory leak fixes
- Silence some warnings that spammed the logs.
- Fix flush in pw_stream. This fixes small glitches when
switching streams in music players.
- Various FreeBSD fixes and improvements.
- Fix some crashes when destroying objects.
+ Device support
- Reload the ALSA configuration when creating a node so that
hotplugged devices work in all cases.
- Fix memory leaks in ACP library. This also fixes issues
where the mixer device was not closed.
- Bluetooth now has support for the mSBC codec for SCO
source and sink.
+ pulse-server
- Many introspection and compatibility improvements. 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.
