Changelog for pipewire-spa-plugins-0_2-0.3.28-89.1.x86_64.rpm :

* Tue Jun 01 2021 Antonio Larrosa - 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 Jun 01 2021 Antonio Larrosa - Add patch to possibly fix boo#1186572:
* 0001-alsa-mixer-only-use-switch-to-mute-Front-in-the-Headphone-path.patch
* Tue May 25 2021 Antonio Larrosa - Introduce a workaround for systems where %systemd_user_post didn\'t enable the user services correctly due to different reasons . This workaround is only executed once, and only if it\'s really needed. In order to execute only once a lock file is created in /var/lib/pipewire. The lockfile can be removed when the workaround is removed. Everyone who upgraded their TW system between (aprox.) the 14th of January and the 16th of March and who didn\'t enable the services manually is affected by this. It also happens for everyone who installed a new TW system since (aprox.) the 14th of January and also for everyone doing a new installation of SLE15-SP3 / Leap 15.3 from the iso (new installations using online repositories will work fine once the fix in systemd-presets-common-SUSE is released). Fixes boo#1184852, boo#1183012 and boo#1186561.
* Wed May 19 2021 Antonio Larrosa - Update to 0.3.28

* Sat May 08 2021 Ismail Dönmez - Add %bcond_with aac conditional to let 3rd parties to enable AAC support.
* Fri May 07 2021 Antonio Larrosa - Update to 0.3.27
* Highlights - Fix bug that caused bluetooth devices to stop working. - Fix session-manager crash when switching users caused by the DBus plugin cleanup errors. - Improve volume handling of monitor ports. - Fix GStreamer v4l2 support. - Implement module-remap-sink and module-remap-source in pipewire-pulse. - More fixes and improvements.
* PipeWire - Move the loopback code into a module. Use this in pw-loopback and pipewire-pulse. Fix some cleanup crashes. - A dummy echo-cancel module was added. Later versions will include the webrtc echo-canceler. - State files don\'t have the X permission anymore. - Move i18n core into a private header file. - Stream can now advertize properties and receive property updates. - Fix an issue where the wrong index was used to address a port. It caused Bluetooth devices to stop working.
* SPA plugins - Only do LFE filtering on channels we created. - Improve name and description of devices. - Improve cleanup in DBus connections and sources to avoid crash when destroying. - Improved volume handling. Hardware, Software and Monitor volumes are now properly separated and handled. - Support for S8 and S8P formats was added.
* Tools - pw-cli can now also create Struct from JSON arrays.
* Session-manager - The session manager can now also create passive links. This makes is possible to suspend effect chains together with the sinks when not in use. - Match rules now check the complete property value instead of only the start. - Handle multiple pending param enumerations, take only last result.

* 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 - Disable gstreamer device provider by now because the timestamp bug makes cheese video record abnormally longer than it should be (rh#1884260).- Replace all tab characters to space.
* Thu Apr 29 2021 Antonio Larrosa - 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).

* Wed Mar 17 2021 Antonio Larrosa - 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 - Add systemd rpm macros for pipewire.service as well as pipewire.socket .- Use the new %systemd_user_pre macro on %pre to be able to 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 - 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.

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. + Session-manager - Give all permissions to Manager flatpak apps.

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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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.

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 - 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.

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.
* Thu Nov 05 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Update to version 0.3.15: + Highlights - This is a quick update to fix critical issues with the 0.3.14 update, which broke screen sharing and accidentally enabled the experimental pulse-server. - Fix some compatibility issues in pulse-server with pavucontrol and fix an issue that would block the complete server. + PipeWire improvements - Permission checks for new clients are now done from a global context, which makes it possible to assign initial permissions to objects. - Handle EINTR everywhere - Fix an issue with the node state changes where a quick pause/play would hang a client. + Session manager improvements - Disable the bluez5 and pulse-bridge modules by default because they interfere with pulseaudio. These options should only be enabled if pulseaudio is removed or disabled in the system. - Fix an issue where the session manager could end up in infinite recursion while scanning for things to do. - The session manager will now always configure nodes to remix to the channel configuration of the device. This fixes the case where mono streams would only end up on one channel of a stereo device. + Device support - Initial merge of A2DP extra codec support using the new bluez5 API. + pulse-server - Create the runtime directory when it doesn\'t exist. - Don\'t ever block the server, use non-blocking IO everywhere. - Fill description of profiles with the name if not otherwise set, this fixes a crash in pavucontrol. - the connection debug catergory will now also debug pulse messages. - Respect the no_remix flag to make the control panel channel check work. + ALSA plugin - implement pause
* Tue Nov 03 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Update to version 0.3.14: + Highlights - This release focuses on bugfixes and stability improvements. - A new experimental pulse-server module was added. This module implements the pulseaudio protocol on top of PipeWire and can be used to make flatpaks work with PipeWire. It looks like this might be a better way forward compared to the libpulse.so replacement library. - A2DP bluetooth was reworked. Playback should work a lot better now. Support was also added to automatically link an A2DP source to a playback device, which makes it possible to use PipeWire as a bluetooth receiver as well. - Improvements to the routing and volume restore features of the session manager. + PipeWire improvements - The channelmixer does not normalize volumes anymore. Volumes are only normalized for monitoring streams now. - Streams can actually start in the inactive state now. - The channelmixer can now also convert volume updates from one channel layout to another. This makes saved volumes work even when streams have different channel layouts. - Clients are only registered after the properties have been updated. - Links now have a new active state. - Drivers can now also specify a minimum quantum. This makes it possible for bluetooth devices to specify an optimum quantum for the given codec settings and MTU. - The amount of data sent over the socket was reduced by only sending the data that changed. - Client objects are now exposed after they uploaded their properties, which makes the new object more useful. + Tools improvements - pw-cat will now add metadata to the PipeWire streams. + Session manager improvements - Fix crashes when reading bad data in stored settings. - volume and routing is improved. Settings are now remembered per application or media-role. - The session manager remembers the last device used per stream - Fix a bug when moving streams where it could sometimes end up with linking a stream to multiple devices. - Use RTKit to set realtime priority on the data thread in the session manager. This improves performance of the pulse-server and bluetooth devices. - Add a new property to mark streams that want to capture from the monitor of the default sink. - NODE_TARGET can now also contain the node name. This avoids some lookups in the pulseaudio layer when selecting target nodes by name. - the -e and -d options are more usable now and can be used to add and remove modules from the default list of modules. + Device support - v4l2: add some workarounds for buggy drivers. Add Limited support for droidcam. - ACP: improve selection of default port and profiles. - ACP: add support for using the hardware mixer for more than 8 channel streams. - ACP: support the new port type and availability group found in PulseAudio. - A2DP bluetooth timings were reworked. Automatic linking of A2DP sources was added to make it possible for PipeWire to act as a bluetooth receiver. The code was reworked to allow other codecs such as APTX and LDAC in the future. - Try harder to recover from ALSA errors. + GStreamer improvements - Fix some crashes in the monitor that cause gnome-initial-setup to crash. + PulseAudio layer improvements - Many compatibility improvements. Improved playback in chrome. Fix a crash in firefox when the daemon is stopped. - Fix a leak in the formats. - Fix !ADJUST_LATENCY streams like paplay. - Make the device option in paplay work. - Fix volume/mute notifications, this makes plasma volume updates work again. - Do the conversion between PulseAudio cubic volumes and PipeWire linear volumes. Volume levels should behave now like they did with PulseAudio. + JACK layer improvements - Return an error when we run out of midi events. Some application rely on this behaviour. + ALSA plugin improvements - The ALSA plugin now also supports the node name in the playback_node and capture_node properties.
* Tue Oct 27 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Rename 99-pipewire-default.conf to 99-pipewire-default.conf.example so it\'s disabled by default and all ALSA I/O doesn\'t get redirected to pipewire (which was only overrided by pulseaudio\'s configuration in alsa-plugins-pulse casually). Thanks to Takashi Iwai for noticing (boo#1178104, boo#1177166 and probably boo#1175584)- Add baselibs.conf (boo#1177555)
* Thu Oct 08 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Update to version 0.3.13: + PipeWire improvements - Add pw-reserve tool to reserve or monitor a device on DBus. - Install spa-resample, a tool to resample a file. - Install spa-acp-tool, a tool to inspect the card profile. - Various fixes and improvements - Fix a bug in pw-stream where a capture stream could run out of buffers and become silent. - Rework the processing loops in the adapter and stream. There is now less latency in PulseAudio and ALSA layers. + Session manager improvements - Improve the device reservation code. We now try to acquire the device using the dbus device reservation API before we probe the device. This avoids conflicts with a running PulseAudio where devices would disappear (because they were locked by the other process). - Don\'t fail on invalid input from the config files. - Audio devices now have the same name as what PulseAudio would assign. + Device support - v4l2: try to use the format before enumerating the size and framerate. Some drivers don\'t check the format and might now work better. - v4l2: Fall back to MMAP when EXPBUF fails. Fix MMAP access, just export the fd and the mapoffset. This should make more devices work. - Fix crash in ALSA Card Profile (ACP) code. - ACP: fix selection of default profile. Prefer any possibly available profile over \'Off\'. This makes some card at least start with something. - Fix soft volume. After setting the volume to 0, it would stay at 0 until pushed over the max volume. This should fix various volume related issues. + PulseAudio layer improvements - Rework the buffering and latency measurements and tweak the buffer attributes. This should make browsers and media players work better. This should also improve speechd performance. + JACK layer improvements - Fix compilation against newer JACK.- Rebase patch: + do-not-install-alsa-config-files.patch
* Tue Sep 22 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Update to version 0.3.12: + PipeWire improvements - The channelmap converter now handles unknown and strange channel layouts much better. - The resampler is now cleared correctly, avoiding clicks and pops at the start of sound. - Fixes for various crasher bugs. (paplay drain, vlc shutdown, pactl info, ...) - Fix a race condition in the node state changes that caused all kinds of sync and other issues (vlc, mpv, ...) - Improve the binary name property of applications - Fix the scheduling again of nodes that always need a driver such as the jack clients. + Session manager improvements - Fix routing to default nodes. Sometimes nodes were not routed to the default node (bluetooth) + Device support - Disable channelmap from ALSA by default. This is what PulseAudio does and thus provides better compatibility. - Fix a bug in how the resampler was used in the ALSA source, causing distortion and errors when using low latency capture clients. (Discord, webrtc, ...) - Small bluetooth improvements. More work is needed for reliable bluetooth playback. + GStreamer plugins - The device provider now stops the processing loop before shutting down, which avoids crashes (gnome-initial-setup). + PulseAudio layer improvements - The buffer attributes were reworked to ensure compatibility with many more applications such as mpv and audacious. - The pulseaudio layer will now try hard to not hand out invalid channel maps to the application. (avoids crashes in gnome-volume-control). The channel map will now also look more like what PulseAudio does. - The AATTDEFAULT_SINK/SOURCE/MONITORAATT wildcards now work. This fixes the problem with volume keys when they are bound to scripts using pactl and the default sink/source wildcards. - The PIPEWIRE_LATENCY environment variable now works again - Fix some leaks of ports and port info. Also fix the leak of the context when the mainloop is stopped. - The sink/source format_info array is now filled up completely, this is actually not implemented yet in the real PulseAudio. + JACK layer improvements - jack now returns version 3.0.0 and has PipeWire in the version string so that apps can report this.- Drop patch: + 0001-alsa-dont-change-the-resampler-delay-value.patch
* Fri Sep 18 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Update to version 0.3.11: + PipeWire improvements - Properly cleanup the mixer structures when a port is removed, this should fix client crashes related to port config changes and other random crashes. - Optimize the preferred formats in the audio converter. Higher quality formats with higher performance are chosen first. - Make sure the time reported by pw_stream is always increasing, even when the driver and clock changes. - There is now also a system service and socket that can be used to enable PipeWire systemwide. This is however not recommended and disabled by default. - Fix channelmixer 5.1 to stereo mix matrix. It was not reading the conversion matrix correctly and cause channels to be dropped. The channelmixer will now also normalize the volume, like what pulseaudio does. - The channelmixer will now just copy channels when no layout has been given. It has also optimized paths for this. This makes it possible for apps to request > 8 channels from the alsa plugin (ardour). - Port, Node and Link will now also emit an error on the resources in addition to updating the error in the info. This would make it easier to track negotiation errors in the session manager later. - many small fixes and cleanups. - Fix compatibility: - DOSBox: fix crash because of double free in pw_stream + Session manager improvements - The session manager will now try to configure the client to the channel configuration of the sink/source. It will only do this for downmixing, never for upmixing and also never when the client has the dont-remix property set. It will also renegotiate the channel layout when moving a stream to a new sink/source. - Configuration state is now saved in XDG_CONFIG_HOME. Previously it was saved in $HOME/.pipewire-media-session/ You can migrate the state by moving the files to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pipewire-media-session (or $HOME/.config/pipewire-media-session as a fallback when XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set). + Device support - Bluetooth sources and sinks should work better now. - There is now also a new bluetooth backend using hsphfpd. - fix the ALSA UCM Off profile for alsa pcm devices - improve ALSA port and profile switching. The ACP device will now switch to the best port and profile when availability changes. + PulseAudio layer improvements - Implement some more callbacks. The pulse layer will now also notify applications of stream moved, started and latency changes. - Fix error code when an object was not found. We now return PA_ERR_NOENTITY instead of PA_ERR_INVALID. - Add some support for loading new null sinks. Applications such as pulseeffects use this. Note that pulseeffects does not yet work reliably but can start now. - Improve handling of profile and port updates, it should work much more reliable now. Apps should now also again receive volume updates from sinks/sources. - Fix compatibility: - openal-soft 1.20 - pavucontrol (checks PA_ERR_NOENTITY) + JACK layer improvements - improve default source and sink handling. It was not updated correctly in all cases. - add samplerate and period to the pw-jack wrapper to easily configure the desired samplerate and perdiod for the app. + ALSA plugin improvements - Add a mixer entry in the alsa config file. - Implement support for planar types, rework the processing function to make it more robust. - refuse to load the alsa plugin when linked against 0.2. This catches some old apps linked against 0.2 that want to use the alsa plugin. - Fix compatibility: - linphone (ALSA SIGFPE when _status() is called before _prepare()).- Includes fix for a division by 0 error (boo#1176515): + 0021-alsa-protect-against-SIGPFE.patch- Add patch from upstream to fix audio stutters in discord and probably other applications when using alsa directly. + 0001-alsa-dont-change-the-resampler-delay-value.patch
* Thu Aug 27 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Update to version 0.3.10: + Many improvements to the pulse layer. - GStreamer pulsesink element now works. - Fixes some segfaults. - Enable rtkit for client threads. - fixes capture of monitor stream by name - implement some more extensions, this makes paman work and removes some warnings. + Many improvements to the GStreamer elements - negotiation rework, avoid calling GStreamer methods from the PipeWire callbacks because they might block and cause deadlocks. - Add support for non-string property values. - improve stability after buffer and format renegotiation. - Rework the device provider. - pipewiresink can now provide a stream that can be consumed by apps like cheese. + Many improvements to the JACK layer: - Rework the buffer_size callbacks. Make sure we call the callback from a \'safe\' thread and that we don\'t call the process callback while the application is handling the callback. This improves stability in apps like Carla when PipeWire dynamically changes the buffer size. - Improve compatibility with apps that call get_buffer_frames() with a 0 size (calfjackrack) - JACK can now create nodes that can be set as a sink/source in PulseAudio/ALSA apps (you can make an effects rack and set that as default sink for apps). + Added a group id property for nodes. This makes it possible to schedule nodes with the same driver even when they are otherwise not linked together. To make this work well a new flag needed to be added to nodes to signal when they are ready for processing. Together with the GStreamer fixes, this makes things like: gst-launch-1.0 -v pipewiresrc path=51 stream-properties=\"props,node.group=1\" ! audio/x-raw ! pipewiresink stream-properties=\"props,node.group=1\" work as expected with PipeWire managing the resampling to keep the clocks of the devices in sync. This can later also be used to force devices to be grouped together to create a JACK-like scheduling group. + Streams and filter now use PIPEWIRE_NODE and PIPEWIRE_LATENCY env variables as fallback. + ACP add per device port list. This makes UCM devices expose the right ports. + Fix some segfaults in ACP and UCM. + make pw-cat use the metadata to find default devices. + The media session can now save and load audio device Profiles and Routes (volumes), stream volumes and the default sink and sources.
* Thu Aug 13 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Update to version 0.3.9: + Fix bad audio in chrome + Remove some errors that are not real errors. + Fix 100% cpu when disconnecting devices. + Improve pulseaudio introspection of formats + Fix JACK metadata handling, carla can now monitor the port it creates and insert midi. + Add a new permission bit (M) that is needed to be able to configure metadata on an object. Improve security of metadata some more, only allow metadata on objects that are visible to the client setting the metadata. + Add support for videocrop in the GStreamer elements. + Improve handling of the runtime directory for the server sockets. Add some reasonable fallback when XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set, as suggested in the spec. + Improve ALSA device names from ACP. + Fix various crasher bugs. One in the pulse layer, one in the session manager. + Make alsa plugin respect the PIPEWIRE_REMOTE env variable. + Various compile fixes.
* Fri Jul 31 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Update to version 0.3.8: + Fix an embarrassing crasher in the JACK layer when metadata keys were removed. + Make it possible to add properties to jack clients with a PIPEWIRE_PROPS env variable. This can be used to make JACK nodes look like a device (like an effects rack). + Improvements in the session manager in how it links ports. Now it will try to link matching channels first and be more intelligent otherwise. The session manager will also configure the stream to the device port configuration when needed. + Add ofono backend for Bluetooth HeadSet support. + Improve default source and sink handling. They are now stored with their id, instead of name, in the metadata. This makes it work better with JACK because of JACK\'s limited name length. + Improve environment variables to make it possible to create and connect to servers other than \"pipewire-0\". Implement this in pulseaudio, JACK and alsa layers. + Add an alsa mixer plugin so that alsamixer works with PipeWire. It will configure the default source/sink volumes. + Fix capture devices. There was something wrong with how the resampler was used that caused corruption in the signal when the resampler was active. + We now ship alsa card paths, profile-sets configuration files and udev rules so that we don\'t have to rely on the pulseaudio ones. + Many build and stability fixes.- Update to version 0.3.7: + Improved PulseAudio compatibility. The alsa card profile code was reused from PulseAudio. Devices now support all profiles, ports, jack detection, UCM and hardware mixers that PulseAudio implements. There should not be (almost) any difference between PipeWire and PulseAudio in how it presents and manages devices. Other missing API pieces such as the default sink/source and move_stream are implemented now. At this point it should be possible to replace PulseAudio with the compatibility layer for those who want to try. + Many fixes and improvements to the GStreamer elements. pipewiresrc now has the ability to periodically resend the last frame. This makes it possible for use-cases like screensharing to only update the screen on changes while still keeping the client side encoder busy. PipeWire elements can now also share a connection between them. + Improvements to the bluetooth nodes. Dynamically adding and removing devices should work much smoother now. Many fixes and improvements to a2dp and sco nodes. + Reduced memory usage by using less pre-allocated memory where possible. JACK clients are especially using less memory. + Support for passive links is added again. These are links that don\'t cause the associated driver to become active. This makes it possible to have blocks of effects+sinks go to suspend as a group when not in use. + Both consumers and producers can now ask to renegotiate the format. This required some cleanups and improvements to how links and node states were handled. More work is needed to implement more use cases. + Important fixes to how memory is shared with clients. Memory was not correctly freed in all cases, which would result in reuse of the wrong memory. + Support for planar formats for audio and video was added. + Improved error handling in the session manager. + Metadata is now used to manage default audio source and sink devices. The session manager will try to link streams to the default device. Changing the default device will move streams to the new device. PulseAudio and JACK layers respect the default source/sinks. + Metadata is used to tag the desired output device for a stream and the session manager will move streams when the metadata changes. The PulseAudio layer uses this to implement the move_stream feature. + Many fixes to the security modules. The session manager now has a flatpak module that grants permissions to flatpak apps. The PulseAudio layer now respects the permissions of objects. Security related properties are made read-only now. Different access modules can now coexist. + The portal module has been split up in 2 parts: - a part living in the daemon that monitors the portal dbus owner and tags all clients from this PID. This part has to run in the daemon in order to securely tag the clients. - a part in the session manager that uses the permission store to manage the permissions of portal managed clients.- Drop patches already included in 0.3.7: + 0001-client-node-fix-buffer-size-calculation.patch + 0002-gst-fix-proxy-leaks.patch + 0003-pulse-fix-pa_card_info-profiles2-array-to-be-NULL-terminated.patch + 0004-pulse-fix-size-calculation.patch + 0005-jack-fix-crash-on-close-when-metadata-are-not-available.patch + 0006-a2dpsink-only-request-new-data-when-buffer-is-done.patch + 0007-pulse-fix-counter-while-populating-car_info-profiles.patch + 0008-impl-link-reset-state-before-starting-allocation.patch + 0009-impl-core-clear-the-mempool.patch + 0010-mem-reset-the-map-in-clear.patch + 0011-avoid-uninitialized-variables.patch + 0012-dlclose-on-errors.patch + 0013-stream-handle-NULL-context.patch + 0014-state-always-update-state-variables.patch + 0015-spa-device-fix-leak-of-properties-in-error-case.patch + 0016-alsa-dont-leak-structure-on-error.patch + 0017-alsa-dont-leak-properties-on-error.patch + 0018-stream-fix-some-more-leaks-in-error-paths.patch + 0019-buffers-increase-max-datas-and-metadata-in-buffers.patch + 0020-gst-return-NULL-for-unknown-format.patch- Drop patch and replace it with a sed substitution since the patch context includes the package version and would have to be modified in every package update: + fix-meson-required-version.patch- Add patch to not install alsa card paths, profile-sets configuration files and udev rules which upstream installs \"so that we don\'t have to rely on the pulseaudio ones\". + do-not-install-alsa-config-files.patch
* Wed Jul 15 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Recommend pipewire from libpipewire, so if the library is installed the daemon gets pulled in since we want a daemon to connect to.- Require pipewire-spa-plugins from pipewire instead of recommending it since the support plugin is actually required for most uses (like screen sharing in wayland, which we want to support out-of-the-box).- Enable the pipewire.socket systemd user service in %post (using pulseaudio\'s %post section as an example of how to do it since systemd-presets-common-SUSE currently lacks support for user services). Also disable it in %preun and %postun.
* Tue Jul 14 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Add patches from upstream to fix many issues mainly related to memory leaks, crashes and wrong behaviour: + 0001-client-node-fix-buffer-size-calculation.patch + 0002-gst-fix-proxy-leaks.patch + 0003-pulse-fix-pa_card_info-profiles2-array-to-be-NULL-terminated.patch + 0004-pulse-fix-size-calculation.patch + 0005-jack-fix-crash-on-close-when-metadata-are-not-available.patch + 0006-a2dpsink-only-request-new-data-when-buffer-is-done.patch + 0007-pulse-fix-counter-while-populating-car_info-profiles.patch + 0008-impl-link-reset-state-before-starting-allocation.patch + 0009-impl-core-clear-the-mempool.patch + 0010-mem-reset-the-map-in-clear.patch + 0011-avoid-uninitialized-variables.patch + 0012-dlclose-on-errors.patch + 0013-stream-handle-NULL-context.patch + 0014-state-always-update-state-variables.patch + 0015-spa-device-fix-leak-of-properties-in-error-case.patch + 0016-alsa-dont-leak-structure-on-error.patch + 0017-alsa-dont-leak-properties-on-error.patch + 0018-stream-fix-some-more-leaks-in-error-paths.patch + 0019-buffers-increase-max-datas-and-metadata-in-buffers.patch + 0020-gst-return-NULL-for-unknown-format.patch
* Fri Jul 03 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Rebase patches used in SLE/Leap: + do-not-use-snd_pcm_ioplug_hw_avail.patch + fix-memfd_create-call.patch
* Tue Jun 16 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Update to version 0.3.6 (boo#1171433, jsc#ECO-2308): + Extensive memory leak fixing and stress testing was done. A big leak in screen sharing with DMA-BUF was fixed. + Compile fixes + Stability improvements in jack and pulseaudio layers. + Added the old portal module to make the Camera portal work again. This will be moved to the session manager in future versions. + Improvements to the GStreamer source and sink shutdown. + Fix compatibility with v2 clients again when negotiating buffers.- Disable vulkan if the vulkan package is too old (as in SLE 15 SP0 and SP1)- Add patch to build with meson >= 0.46.0 since 0.50.0 is not really needed: + fix-meson-required-version.patch
* Thu May 21 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Filter out libpulse.so.0 and libjack.so.0 automatic provides so this is not considered an alternative when resolving dependencies in the distribution.
* Thu May 21 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Add patch to fix build in SLE/Leap where alsa doesn\'t have a snd_pcm_ioplug_hw_avail function: + do-not-use-snd_pcm_ioplug_hw_avail.patch
* Tue May 19 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Update to version 0.3.5: + Compiler fixes + Add pw-midiplay and pw-midirecord aliases + Add pw-mididump tool + Add pw-metadata tool to inspect, add and remove metadata for objects. + Docs updates, man pages + install alsa config files + Fix linked sink/source in pulseaudio + ratelimit graph processing warnings + improve buffer handling in GStreamer elements + Fix power usage by removing the queue for the alsa sequencer system announce messages. + Fix metadata clear() method dispatch. + Improve parameter enumeration, make it possible to detect missing parameters vs no-compatible parameters so that we can use defaults in the first case and error in the second case. + Fix cleanup of proxy objects. Stability improvements on plug/unplug in session manager. + Make it possible to set log level from config file + improve debug of param negotiation errors. Log the parameters to stderr/journal. + Make it possible to configure global logger implementation. + Fix NEON detection + JACK and PulseAudio compatibility improvements- Update to version 0.3.4: + A quick update with some important stability fixes.- Update to version 0.3.3: + NEON optimizations for audio conversion (32 and 64 bits) + rework of session manager implementation + Add option to disable modules in the session manager + Release midi hardware devices when suspended + various build fixes + Clean up options of various utils + Stability improvements + Mayor improvements in pulseaudio emulation. Improved timings and compatibility. + Implementation of drain and flush in pulse and alsa emulation. + Implement poll on file descriptors. + Improvement of metadata for jack emulation. + Fix memory and thread problems in jack emulation. + Simplification of state changes. Should make more use cases work in the jack emulation. + Improvements in the gstreamer elements. Removal of extra internal queue. pipewiresink can now be used to play audio. + Add pw-jack and pw-pulse scripts to run pulseaudio and jack applications with the right library path.- Replace libpulse
* replacement packages with a single pipewire-libpulse-0_3 package that includes all libraries installed in the non-standard directory %{_libdir}/pipewire-0.3/pulse and a new pw-pulse wrapper script. Likewise for the jack replacement libraries in a new pipewire-libjack-0_3 package.- Use update-alternatives for the wrapper scripts.
* Wed Apr 01 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Use the License rpm tag to specify that although most of pipewire is licensed under MIT, the pulseaudio replacement library is licensed under LGPL-2.1+.
* Tue Mar 31 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Use gcc9 to build in SLE-15 / Leap 15, since at least gcc8 is needed now.
* Tue Mar 31 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Update to version 0.3.2: + build fixes + Added support for data type negotiation. This makes it possible for a client to say that it can handle DMABuf and MemFd and then let the server select a compatible format. + Handle errors when enumerating parameters better. + Add support for rate, format, channels and period_bytes to the alsa config file to restrict what alsa apps can negotiate. + Fix JACK midi output. + Optimizations in common audio format conversions using AVX2. Small optimizations to plugins. + Change the vulkan compute example to an MIT licensed shader. + Remove some hardcoded defaults in the audio and video processing and use the values from the processing context. This also fixes the vulkan example. + Correct the documentation and defaults in the daemon config file. + Fix alsa and v4l2 buffer recycle. A paused client could cause the server to leak all buffers. + Remove some warnings that should be ignored. + Fix a crash in the bluez5 plugins. + Try to select higher quality formats first when negotiating a format with an audio device. + Fix an infinite loop in udev detection in some cases. + Add non-interactive mode to pw-cli. You can now just do \"pw-cli ls Port\" to get a listing of all ports. pw-cli will now also connect to the default server by default and has options to select a different server. + Allow the server to go up to the maximum quantum (8192 samples or ~=180ms) if a client explicitly wants this.
* Mon Mar 23 2020 Bjørn Lie - Update to version 0.3.1+48: + Fix 32bit build.
* Wed Mar 18 2020 Bjørn Lie - Switch to source service, update to explicit head, file with non-compliant license replaced.
* Tue Mar 17 2020 Bjørn Lie - Switch license to MIT and actually package it.- Add doxygen, graphviz and xmltoman BuildRequires and pass docs and man = true to meson, build documentation. Package docs in a new docs sub-package.- Add check section and run meson_test macro, run tests during build.- Add fdupes BuildRequires and pass fdupes macro, remove duplicate files.
* Mon Mar 09 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Update to version 0.3.1: + This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous 0.3.x releases. + Don\'t load the rtkit module by default. It can cause a sigkill, which is not desirable for mutter, for example. Only enable this for the jack library for now. + Don\'t use pthread cancel by default because it uses a signal that might crash some apps. Only use it for the jack library because jack clients really expect this. + Build fixes for -Werror=suggest-attribute=format + improve error messages, don\'t report harmless errors and warnings. Try to send error messages to the proxy that started the operation or is the owner of the object. + pw-cat: midi improvement, add midi recording and dump in verbose mode + fix properties when loading spa-nodes from the config + Fix and update some examples + jack: check arguments and don\'t crash when invalid + Fix buffer memory upload. + jack: fix compatibility with zrythm. Fix timemaster install, improve sample_rate callback. Fix reposition handling. + fix crash in port after buffer negotiation error. + add support for control ports in pw_filter + fix cleanup of the metadata module + improve param enumeration. + Clear stream buffers when the format is cleared. + Add create-object command in the config file to create object from a factory. + Fix crash after the driver was not removed from unassigned nodes. Also properly pause inactive nodes. + Use \"true\" and \"false\" in properties when we are talking about a boolean. + pulseaudio: improve compatibility
* Fri Feb 21 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Add patch to build correctly with glibc < 2.27 (like in SLE/Leap): + fix-memfd_create-call.patch
* Fri Feb 21 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Add BuildRequires for pkgconfig(sndfile) and pkgconfig(vulkan) so the vulkan plugin is built.- Version the spa-plugins subpackage so different versions of the plugins can be co-installed in the future.
* Thu Feb 20 2020 Bjørn Lie - Update to version 0.3.0: + The 0.3 release is a major milestone in the developement of PipeWire. It features a complete redesign of the scheduling mechanisms that make it possible to run a JACK compatibility layer with comparable performance to JACK2. + The API has been reworked and is declared stable now. All developement files and runtime paths are versioned so that future incompatible changes can be done without breaking exising applications. + PipeWire 0.3 also includes a (now mandatory) session manager that populates and controls the PipeWire graph. This example session manager is very simple and not configurable. It is expected that future version will either switch to a more flexible session manager (like WirePlumber) or improve the configuration options of the example session manager. + PipeWire 0.3 includes both PulseAudio, JACK and ALSA compatibility libraries that are known to support a wide range of applications. The ALSA library is pretty complete at this point. The JACK and mostly the PulseAudio compatibility libraries need more work. See the Wiki pages for the current compatibility problems. We do not yet encourage people to switch away from their existing audio solutions (PulseAudio or JACK) but we would love to hear from people who try it anyways. Future versions will mostly focus on improving compatibility further to make PipeWire a drop-in replacement. PipeWire comes with some GStreamer plugins to consume and produce data for PipeWire. The consumer (pipewiresrc) is working well in most cases. The sink (pipewiresink) is known to be somewhat problematic for now.- Add pkgconfig(bluez) and pkgconfig(libpulse) BuildRequires: New dependencies.- Bump libpipewire, apiver and spa_ver define following upstreams changes. Also add a new sover define.- Package new subpackages: libjack-pw0_3_0, libpulse-mainloop-glib-pw0_3_0, libpulse-pw0_3_0 and libpulse-simple-pw0_3_0, as well as handle them in post(un).- Adjust options passed to meson following upstreams changes.
* Wed Nov 06 2019 Fabian Vogt - Update to version 0.2.7: + Add support for alsa-lib 1.1.9 which changed the include path + Improve error checking and reporting in the protocol + deviceprovider: fix probing without starting + add sentinel to some functions + compiler fixes for musl + Revert object tree permission checks that broke things, this is probably not a good idea (and the tree of objects is going to be removed later)
* Wed May 22 2019 Markus S - Update to version 0.2.6: + Improve error checking for threads. + Fix some memory and fd leaks. + Fix compilation with C++ compilers and clang. + DISABLE_RTKIT should now not try to use dbus at all. + Camera Portal fixes: - add Camera media.role. - Rename module-flatpak to module-portal. - Use the portal permissions store for camera checks. + Actually use the passed fd in pipewiresrc. + Make properties with \"pipewire.\" prefix read-only. + Add security label to client object. + Enforce link permissions. + Permissions of objects are now combined with parent permissions. + Remove libv4l2 dependency, it is not used. + Improve format negotiation in autolink #146. + Try to avoid list corruption with event emmission #143. + Fix destroy of client-node memory corruption. + Various small improvements.- Remove pkgconfig(libv4l2) BuildRequires: follow upstreams cleanup of build dependencies.- Drop avoid-invalid-conversion-error-with-C++.patch: fixed upstream.
