* Tue Mar 29 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Reorder BuildRequires and space conditions a bit better in the
spec file.
* Tue Mar 29 2022 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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:

- 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 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 alarrosa@suse.com
- Remove unneccesary Conflicts with packages that are Obsoleted
* Thu Dec 16 2021 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 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 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 alarrosa@suse.com
- Use the gcc9-c++ compiler in SLE/Leap so it builds successfully.
* Mon Dec 13 2021 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@ritter-vogt.de
- Drop server packages from baselibs.conf. Only the client parts
are needed in there.
* Fri Dec 10 2021 alarrosa@suse.com
- Minor aesthetic changes in the spec file
* Thu Dec 09 2021 ngompa@opensuse.org
- Enable AAC support for Leap 15.4+
* Thu Dec 09 2021 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 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 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 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

* Thu Oct 21 2021 alarrosa@suse.com
- Fix %systemd_user_post using the now separated
pipewire-media-session.service
* Thu Oct 21 2021 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.

values.
- Implement flush and reset on virtual sinks/sources.
- Make it possible to let virtual sinks/filter-chains run and
drain after being idle.
- Fix a bug where the quantum could exceed the maximum because
it was scaled with the sample rate.
- Fix channel_map parsing in module-zeroconf-discover so that
the remote channel map is used.
- pw-stream errors emitted on the proxy are reported but not
fatal any more. They are usually used by the session manager
to signal status to the client but otherwise does not really
cause an error on the client.
- Links now also store the output and input node id in the
global properties so that applications can parse and use them
regardless of how the link was made. (#1723)
- pw-stream and pw-filter now have an event to notify commands.
- The echo-cancel module can now operate on larger quantums.
- pw-cat now uses the right metadata to find the default
devices in --list-targets.
* media-session
- Don't try to remix unpositioned streams when linking. This
ensures that linking to Pro-Audio nodes does not remix the
stream channels but links them as they are, one by one.
- media-session is now moved to a separate module to accelerate
its deprecation in favour of WirePlumber.
* SPA
- Many libcamera improvements, handle MemFd buffers, handle
errors gracefully.
- Small improvements to make interface fall-backs easier to
implement.
- Add support to enable flush-to-zero and denormals-are-zero
to avoid high CPU usage when dealing with denormals.
- AUX13 channels are no longer reported as AUX12. (#1727)
- Devices with more than 32 channels in Pro-Audio mode now only
uses AUX channels.
- Improve windowing function of the resampler to reduce
aliasing and improve the quality.
* JACK
- Port connect callbacks will not only be emitted after the
port has negotiated buffers, which improves compatibility
with applications that try to use the port right after the
callback (jack_midi_latency_test).
- Fix crash when midi ports were removed and being monitored,
like in Ardour.
* pulse-server
- The pulse tunnel will now use the specified
format/rate/channels.
- Improve lookup of default source and fall back to the
monitors when no sources are available.
- Mark some nodes as network nodes so that we can set the
NETWORK flag correctly.
* GStreamer
- The GStreamer element not releases the buffers in the stream
again in all cases so that they can be reused by other
streams.
* v4l2
- Add a v4l2 LD_PRELOAD library to emulate v4l2 system calls on
top of PipeWire. This is tested with firefox and GStreamer
and is known to not work with Chrome.
* Bluetooth
- AAC compatibility improvements.
- Disable hardware volume for "Tribit MAXSound Plus" and
"SoundCore mini".
- Add quirk to disable faststream. Disable faststream on
"FiiO BTR3".
- Add a dummy AVRCP player to improve compatibility with some
devices.
- Remove patch:
* 0001-fix-compilation-on-ARM.patch
- Add patch from upstream:
* 0001-cpu-fix-compilation-on-some-architectures.patch
* Wed Oct 13 2021 alarrosa@suse.com

* 0001-fix-compilation-on-ARM.patch
* Thu Sep 30 2021 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.38:
* Highlights
- Topic based logging was added to improve debugging.
- An off-by-one error was fixed in the audio resampler that could
cause distortion when downsampling.
- Various bluetooth compatibility improvements.
- More fixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- module-pulse-tunnel now has better default latency to make it work
better in more cases. There is also an option to configure the
desired latency.
- pw-cli now has readline support.
- Topic based logging was added. Log lines can now be filtered by
topic using wildcards. This should improve debugging.
- The systemd service files should now have better descriptions.
- Fix a crash in module-zeroconf-discover when unloading.
- Fix a crash in filter-chain when using unaligned memory.
* ALSA
- Sync the udev rules and profiles with pulseaudio.
- Fix a memory leak.
* SPA plugins
- An off-by-one error was fixed in the resampler that could cause
distortion when downsampling. (#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.
* PulseAudio server
- Make the service file require a session manager.
* Wed Sep 29 2021 alarrosa@suse.com
- Add BuildRequires: pkgconfig(readline) so pw-cli is built with
readline support
* Thu Sep 23 2021 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)

- Delay emiting the samplerate and buffersize callbacks until
the client is active. This fixes some crashes with Carla and
other JACK apps.
- Drop patches already included upstream:
* 0001-media-session-dont-use-after-free-if-linking-node-removed.patch
* 0002-update-version-number-as-well.patch
* Mon Sep 20 2021 alarrosa@suse.com
- Add patches from upstream to fix an "use-after-free" error and
to set the version number correctly:
* 0001-media-session-dont-use-after-free-if-linking-node-removed.patch
* 0002-update-version-number-as-well.patch
* Thu Sep 16 2021 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 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 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 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 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 alarrosa@suse.com
- Move with-{alsa,jack,pulseaudio} from the media-session package
to the packages that implement each support.
* Thu Jul 22 2021 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

- 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

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.

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)

default source and sink, which makes the volume controls
reappear. (#1384)
* Other
- Cleanups in pulse-server and pipewire.
- Documentation additions.
* Tue Jul 13 2021 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).

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.

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.

- source and sink state are now decoupled from the monitor
state and will report IDLE when not playing anything.
* media-session
- Port switching should now happen to/from the port that
actually changed.
* JACK
- The locking was reviewed. All callbacks are not emited
from the PipeWire thread with the lock released and
the process function will be disabled for the duration
of the callback. This ensures that no two callbacks are
called at the same time.
- Improve internal consistency and try to never call callbacks
with invalid objects.
- Monitor port can now be accessed with system:monitor_%d

is used to create the other RT threads. This should avoid
SIGKILL from RTKit in some cases.
* Bluetooth
- Various bugfixes to improve connections to devices.
- Handle delayed UUID connection.
- There is now a hardware database that can disable features
in listed devices.
- Use libusb to detect availability of mSBC.

* Tue Jun 01 2021 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 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.

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

- 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 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 alarrosa@suse.com
- Do not provide pulseaudio, but pulseaudio-daemon so we can
specify in the patterns that we prefer the pulseaudio package
(boo#1182730)
* Thu Feb 25 2021 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.
+ Session-manager
- Give all permissions to Manager flatpak apps. In the future
we will use the Permission store to remember user settings.
- Improvements to default audio/sink handling.
- Add option to configure device suspend time.
- Small fixes in route handling.
+ Device support
- Complain when ACP profile files are not found and use
a fallback in order to get something working.
- Add volume support to monitor ports.
- Fix resume from suspend for ALSA in more cases.
- ALSA ACP cards now have a Pro Audio profile that exposes
the raw card devices.
+ Bluetooth
- Enable A2DP delay reporting. This improves audio/video sync
when playing audio over bluetooth.
- Fix stuttering in A2DP source
- Tweak buffer size and latency settings to avoid stuttering
- 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 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 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 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 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 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 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Add pkgconfig(ldacBT-abr) and pkgconfig(ldacBT-enc)
BuildRequires: Build bluetooth ldac codec support.

+ 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 fcrozat@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.19:
+ Highlights

- 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

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

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.

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 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.15:
+ Highlights
- This is a quick update to fix critical issues with the
0.3.14 update, which broke screen sharing and accidentally
enabled the experimental pulse-server.
- Fix some compatibility issues in pulse-server with
pavucontrol and fix an issue that would block the complete
server.
+ PipeWire improvements
- Permission checks for new clients are now done from a
global context, which makes it possible to assign initial
permissions to objects.
- Handle EINTR everywhere
- Fix an issue with the node state changes where a quick
pause/play would hang a client.
+ Session manager improvements
- Disable the bluez5 and pulse-bridge modules by default
because they interfere with pulseaudio. These options should
only be enabled if pulseaudio is removed or disabled in the
system.
- Fix an issue where the session manager could end up in
infinite recursion while scanning for things to do.
- The session manager will now always configure nodes to remix
to the channel configuration of the device. This fixes the
case where mono streams would only end up on one channel of a
stereo device.
+ Device support
- Initial merge of A2DP extra codec support using the new
bluez5 API.
+ pulse-server
- Create the runtime directory when it doesn't exist.
- Don't ever block the server, use non-blocking IO everywhere.
- Fill description of profiles with the name if not otherwise
set, this fixes a crash in pavucontrol.
- the connection debug catergory will now also debug pulse
messages.
- Respect the no_remix flag to make the control panel channel
check work.
+ ALSA plugin
- implement pause
* Tue Nov 03 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.14:
+ Highlights
- This release focuses on bugfixes and stability
improvements.
- A new experimental pulse-server module was added. This
module implements the pulseaudio protocol on top of
PipeWire and can be used to make flatpaks work with
PipeWire. It looks like this might be a better way
forward compared to the libpulse.so replacement library.
- A2DP bluetooth was reworked. Playback should work a lot
better now. Support was also added to automatically link
an A2DP source to a playback device, which makes it possible
to use PipeWire as a bluetooth receiver as well.
- Improvements to the routing and volume restore features
of the session manager.
+ PipeWire improvements
- The channelmixer does not normalize volumes anymore. Volumes
are only normalized for monitoring streams now.
- Streams can actually start in the inactive state now.
- The channelmixer can now also convert volume updates from one
channel layout to another. This makes saved volumes work
even when streams have different channel layouts.
- Clients are only registered after the properties have been
updated.
- Links now have a new active state.
- Drivers can now also specify a minimum quantum. This makes it
possible for bluetooth devices to specify an optimum quantum
for the given codec settings and MTU.
- The amount of data sent over the socket was reduced by only
sending the data that changed.
- Client objects are now exposed after they uploaded their
properties, which makes the new object more useful.
+ Tools improvements
- pw-cat will now add metadata to the PipeWire streams.
+ Session manager improvements
- Fix crashes when reading bad data in stored settings.
- volume and routing is improved. Settings are now remembered
per application or media-role.
- The session manager remembers the last device used per stream
- Fix a bug when moving streams where it could sometimes end
up with linking a stream to multiple devices.
- Use RTKit to set realtime priority on the data thread in the
session manager. This improves performance of the pulse-server
and bluetooth devices.
- Add a new property to mark streams that want to capture from
the monitor of the default sink.
- NODE_TARGET can now also contain the node name. This avoids
some lookups in the pulseaudio layer when selecting target
nodes by name.
- the -e and -d options are more usable now and can be used to
add and remove modules from the default list of modules.
+ Device support
- v4l2: add some workarounds for buggy drivers. Add Limited
support for droidcam.
- ACP: improve selection of default port and profiles.
- ACP: add support for using the hardware mixer for more than
8 channel streams.
- ACP: support the new port type and availability group found
in PulseAudio.
- A2DP bluetooth timings were reworked. Automatic linking of
A2DP sources was added to make it possible for PipeWire to
act as a bluetooth receiver. The code was reworked to allow
other codecs such as APTX and LDAC in the future.
- Try harder to recover from ALSA errors.
+ GStreamer improvements
- Fix some crashes in the monitor that cause
gnome-initial-setup to crash.
+ PulseAudio layer improvements
- Many compatibility improvements. Improved playback in
chrome. Fix a crash in firefox when the daemon is stopped.
- Fix a leak in the formats.
- Fix !ADJUST_LATENCY streams like paplay.
- Make the device option in paplay work.
- Fix volume/mute notifications, this makes plasma volume updates
work again.
- Do the conversion between PulseAudio cubic volumes and PipeWire
linear volumes. Volume levels should behave now like they did
with PulseAudio.
+ JACK layer improvements
- Return an error when we run out of midi events. Some application
rely on this behaviour.
+ ALSA plugin improvements
- The ALSA plugin now also supports the node name in the
playback_node and capture_node properties.
* Tue Oct 27 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Rename 99-pipewire-default.conf to
99-pipewire-default.conf.example so it's disabled by default and
all ALSA I/O doesn't get redirected to pipewire (which was only
overrided by pulseaudio's configuration in alsa-plugins-pulse
casually). Thanks to Takashi Iwai for noticing (boo#1178104,
boo#1177166 and probably boo#1175584)
- Add baselibs.conf (boo#1177555)
* Thu Oct 08 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.13:
+ PipeWire improvements
- Add pw-reserve tool to reserve or monitor a device on DBus.
- Install spa-resample, a tool to resample a file.
- Install spa-acp-tool, a tool to inspect the card profile.
- Various fixes and improvements
- Fix a bug in pw-stream where a capture stream could run out
of buffers and become silent.
- Rework the processing loops in the adapter and stream. There
is now less latency in PulseAudio and ALSA layers.
+ Session manager improvements
- Improve the device reservation code. We now try to acquire
the device using the dbus device reservation API before we
probe the device. This avoids conflicts with a running
PulseAudio where devices would disappear (because they were
locked by the other process).
- Don't fail on invalid input from the config files.
- Audio devices now have the same name as what PulseAudio
would assign.
+ Device support
- v4l2: try to use the format before enumerating the size and
framerate. Some drivers don't check the format and might now
work better.
- v4l2: Fall back to MMAP when EXPBUF fails. Fix MMAP access,
just export the fd and the mapoffset. This should make more
devices work.
- Fix crash in ALSA Card Profile (ACP) code.
- ACP: fix selection of default profile. Prefer any possibly
available profile over 'Off'. This makes some card at least
start with something.
- Fix soft volume. After setting the volume to 0, it would stay
at 0 until pushed over the max volume. This should fix
various volume related issues.
+ PulseAudio layer improvements
- Rework the buffering and latency measurements and tweak the
buffer attributes. This should make browsers and media
players work better. This should also improve speechd
performance.
+ JACK layer improvements
- Fix compilation against newer JACK.
- Rebase patch:
+ do-not-install-alsa-config-files.patch
* Tue Sep 22 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.12:
+ PipeWire improvements
- The channelmap converter now handles unknown and strange
channel layouts much better.
- The resampler is now cleared correctly, avoiding clicks and
pops at the start of sound.
- Fixes for various crasher bugs. (paplay drain, vlc shutdown,
pactl info, ...)
- Fix a race condition in the node state changes that caused
all kinds of sync and other issues (vlc, mpv, ...)
- Improve the binary name property of applications
- Fix the scheduling again of nodes that always need a driver
such as the jack clients.
+ Session manager improvements
- Fix routing to default nodes. Sometimes nodes were not routed
to the default node (bluetooth)
+ Device support
- Disable channelmap from ALSA by default. This is what
PulseAudio does and thus provides better compatibility.
- Fix a bug in how the resampler was used in the ALSA source,
causing distortion and errors when using low latency capture
clients. (Discord, webrtc, ...)
- Small bluetooth improvements. More work is needed for
reliable bluetooth playback.
+ GStreamer plugins
- The device provider now stops the processing loop before
shutting down, which avoids crashes (gnome-initial-setup).
+ PulseAudio layer improvements
- The buffer attributes were reworked to ensure compatibility
with many more applications such as mpv and audacious.
- The pulseaudio layer will now try hard to not hand out
invalid channel maps to the application. (avoids crashes in
gnome-volume-control). The channel map will now also look
more like what PulseAudio does.
- The @DEFAULT_SINK/SOURCE/MONITOR@ wildcards now work. This
fixes the problem with volume keys when they are bound to
scripts using pactl and the default sink/source wildcards.
- The PIPEWIRE_LATENCY environment variable now works again
- Fix some leaks of ports and port info. Also fix the leak of
the context when the mainloop is stopped.
- The sink/source format_info array is now filled up
completely, this is actually not implemented yet in the real
PulseAudio.
+ JACK layer improvements
- jack now returns version 3.0.0 and has PipeWire in the
version string so that apps can report this.
- Drop patch:
+ 0001-alsa-dont-change-the-resampler-delay-value.patch
* Fri Sep 18 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.11:
+ PipeWire improvements
- Properly cleanup the mixer structures when a port is removed,
this should fix client crashes related to port config changes
and other random crashes.
- Optimize the preferred formats in the audio converter. Higher
quality formats with higher performance are chosen first.
- Make sure the time reported by pw_stream is always
increasing, even when the driver and clock changes.
- There is now also a system service and socket that can be
used to enable PipeWire systemwide. This is however not
recommended and disabled by default.
- Fix channelmixer 5.1 to stereo mix matrix. It was not reading
the conversion matrix correctly and cause channels to be
dropped. The channelmixer will now also normalize the volume,
like what pulseaudio does.
- The channelmixer will now just copy channels when no layout
has been given. It has also optimized paths for this. This
makes it possible for apps to request > 8 channels from the
alsa plugin (ardour).
- Port, Node and Link will now also emit an error on the
resources in addition to updating the error in the info. This
would make it easier to track negotiation errors in the
session manager later.
- many small fixes and cleanups.
- Fix compatibility:
- DOSBox: fix crash because of double free in pw_stream
+ Session manager improvements
- The session manager will now try to configure the client to
the channel configuration of the sink/source. It will only
do this for downmixing, never for upmixing and also never
when the client has the dont-remix property set. It will
also renegotiate the channel layout when moving a stream to
a new sink/source.
- Configuration state is now saved in XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
Previously it was saved in $HOME/.pipewire-media-session/
You can migrate the state by moving the files to
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pipewire-media-session (or
$HOME/.config/pipewire-media-session as a fallback when
XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set).
+ Device support
- Bluetooth sources and sinks should work better now.
- There is now also a new bluetooth backend using hsphfpd.
- fix the ALSA UCM Off profile for alsa pcm devices
- improve ALSA port and profile switching. The ACP device will
now switch to the best port and profile when availability
changes.
+ PulseAudio layer improvements
- Implement some more callbacks. The pulse layer will now also
notify applications of stream moved, started and latency
changes.
- Fix error code when an object was not found. We now return
PA_ERR_NOENTITY instead of PA_ERR_INVALID.
- Add some support for loading new null sinks. Applications
such as pulseeffects use this. Note that pulseeffects does
not yet work reliably but can start now.
- Improve handling of profile and port updates, it should work
much more reliable now. Apps should now also again receive
volume updates from sinks/sources.
- Fix compatibility:
- openal-soft 1.20
- pavucontrol (checks PA_ERR_NOENTITY)
+ JACK layer improvements
- improve default source and sink handling. It was not updated
correctly in all cases.
- add samplerate and period to the pw-jack wrapper to easily
configure the desired samplerate and perdiod for the app.
+ ALSA plugin improvements
- Add a mixer entry in the alsa config file.
- Implement support for planar types, rework the processing
function to make it more robust.
- refuse to load the alsa plugin when linked against 0.2. This
catches some old apps linked against 0.2 that want to use the
alsa plugin.
- Fix compatibility:
- linphone (ALSA SIGFPE when _status() is called
before _prepare()).
- Includes fix for a division by 0 error (boo#1176515):
+ 0021-alsa-protect-against-SIGPFE.patch
- Add patch from upstream to fix audio stutters in discord and probably
other applications when using alsa directly.
+ 0001-alsa-dont-change-the-resampler-delay-value.patch
* Thu Aug 27 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.10:
+ Many improvements to the pulse layer.
- GStreamer pulsesink element now works.
- Fixes some segfaults.
- Enable rtkit for client threads.
- fixes capture of monitor stream by name
- implement some more extensions, this makes paman
work and removes some warnings.
+ Many improvements to the GStreamer elements
- negotiation rework, avoid calling GStreamer methods from
the PipeWire callbacks because they might block and cause
deadlocks.
- Add support for non-string property values.
- improve stability after buffer and format
renegotiation.
- Rework the device provider.
- pipewiresink can now provide a stream that can
be consumed by apps like cheese.
+ Many improvements to the JACK layer:
- Rework the buffer_size callbacks. Make sure we call
the callback from a 'safe' thread and that we don't
call the process callback while the application is
handling the callback. This improves stability in
apps like Carla when PipeWire dynamically changes
the buffer size.
- Improve compatibility with apps that call
get_buffer_frames() with a 0 size (calfjackrack)
- JACK can now create nodes that can be set as a
sink/source in PulseAudio/ALSA apps (you can make an
effects rack and set that as default sink for
apps).
+ Added a group id property for nodes. This makes it
possible to schedule nodes with the same driver even
when they are otherwise not linked together. To make
this work well a new flag needed to be added to nodes
to signal when they are ready for processing.
Together with the GStreamer fixes, this makes things
like:
gst-launch-1.0 -v pipewiresrc path=51 stream-properties="props,node.group=1" !
audio/x-raw ! pipewiresink stream-properties="props,node.group=1"
work as expected with PipeWire managing the resampling
to keep the clocks of the devices in sync.
This can later also be used to force devices to be grouped
together to create a JACK-like scheduling group.
+ Streams and filter now use PIPEWIRE_NODE and
PIPEWIRE_LATENCY env variables as fallback.
+ ACP add per device port list. This makes UCM devices
expose the right ports.
+ Fix some segfaults in ACP and UCM.
+ make pw-cat use the metadata to find default devices.
+ The media session can now save and load audio device
Profiles and Routes (volumes), stream volumes and
the default sink and sources.
* Thu Aug 13 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.9:
+ Fix bad audio in chrome
+ Remove some errors that are not real errors.
+ Fix 100% cpu when disconnecting devices.
+ Improve pulseaudio introspection of formats
+ Fix JACK metadata handling, carla can now monitor the
port it creates and insert midi.
+ Add a new permission bit (M) that is needed to be able
to configure metadata on an object. Improve security of
metadata some more, only allow metadata on objects that
are visible to the client setting the metadata.
+ Add support for videocrop in the GStreamer elements.
+ Improve handling of the runtime directory for the
server sockets. Add some reasonable fallback when
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set, as suggested in the spec.
+ Improve ALSA device names from ACP.
+ Fix various crasher bugs. One in the pulse layer, one in
the session manager.
+ Make alsa plugin respect the PIPEWIRE_REMOTE env variable.
+ Various compile fixes.
* Fri Jul 31 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.8:
+ Fix an embarrassing crasher in the JACK layer when metadata
keys were removed.
+ Make it possible to add properties to jack clients with a
PIPEWIRE_PROPS env variable. This can be used to make JACK
nodes look like a device (like an effects rack).
+ Improvements in the session manager in how it links ports.
Now it will try to link matching channels first and be more
intelligent otherwise. The session manager will also configure
the stream to the device port configuration when needed.
+ Add ofono backend for Bluetooth HeadSet support.
+ Improve default source and sink handling. They are now stored
with their id, instead of name, in the metadata. This makes it
work better with JACK because of JACK's limited name length.
+ Improve environment variables to make it possible to create
and connect to servers other than "pipewire-0". Implement
this in pulseaudio, JACK and alsa layers.
+ Add an alsa mixer plugin so that alsamixer works with PipeWire.
It will configure the default source/sink volumes.
+ Fix capture devices. There was something wrong with how the
resampler was used that caused corruption in the signal when
the resampler was active.
+ We now ship alsa card paths, profile-sets configuration files
and udev rules so that we don't have to rely on the pulseaudio
ones.
+ Many build and stability fixes.
- Update to version 0.3.7:
+ Improved PulseAudio compatibility. The alsa card profile
code was reused from PulseAudio. Devices now support
all profiles, ports, jack detection, UCM and hardware
mixers that PulseAudio implements. There should not
be (almost) any difference between PipeWire and PulseAudio
in how it presents and manages devices.
Other missing API pieces such as the default sink/source
and move_stream are implemented now. At this point
it should be possible to replace PulseAudio with the
compatibility layer for those who want to try.
+ Many fixes and improvements to the GStreamer elements.
pipewiresrc now has the ability to periodically resend
the last frame. This makes it possible for use-cases like
screensharing to only update the screen on changes while
still keeping the client side encoder busy. PipeWire
elements can now also share a connection between them.
+ Improvements to the bluetooth nodes. Dynamically adding
and removing devices should work much smoother now. Many
fixes and improvements to a2dp and sco nodes.
+ Reduced memory usage by using less pre-allocated memory
where possible. JACK clients are especially using less
memory.
+ Support for passive links is added again. These are links
that don't cause the associated driver to become active.
This makes it possible to have blocks of effects+sinks go
to suspend as a group when not in use.
+ Both consumers and producers can now ask to renegotiate
the format. This required some cleanups and improvements
to how links and node states were handled. More work is
needed to implement more use cases.
+ Important fixes to how memory is shared with clients. Memory
was not correctly freed in all cases, which would result
in reuse of the wrong memory.
+ Support for planar formats for audio and video was added.
+ Improved error handling in the session manager.
+ Metadata is now used to manage default audio source and
sink devices. The session manager will try to link streams
to the default device. Changing the default device will
move streams to the new device. PulseAudio and JACK layers
respect the default source/sinks.
+ Metadata is used to tag the desired output device for
a stream and the session manager will move streams when
the metadata changes. The PulseAudio layer uses this to
implement the move_stream feature.
+ Many fixes to the security modules. The session manager now
has a flatpak module that grants permissions to flatpak
apps. The PulseAudio layer now respects the permissions of
objects. Security related properties are made read-only
now. Different access modules can now coexist.
+ The portal module has been split up in 2 parts:
- a part living in the daemon that monitors the portal
dbus owner and tags all clients from this PID. This
part has to run in the daemon in order to securely
tag the clients.
- a part in the session manager that uses the permission
store to manage the permissions of portal managed
clients.

- 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 alarrosa@suse.com
- Recommend pipewire from libpipewire, so if the library is
installed the daemon gets pulled in since we want a daemon
to connect to.
- Require pipewire-spa-plugins from pipewire instead of
recommending it since the support plugin is actually required
for most uses (like screen sharing in wayland, which we want to
support out-of-the-box).
- Enable the pipewire.socket systemd user service in %post
(using pulseaudio's %post section as an example of how to do it
since systemd-presets-common-SUSE currently lacks support for
user services). Also disable it in %preun and %postun.

+ 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

- 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.

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.

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.

- 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.

* Fri Feb 21 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Add BuildRequires for pkgconfig(sndfile) and pkgconfig(vulkan)
so the vulkan plugin is built.
- Version the spa-plugins subpackage so different versions of
the plugins can be co-installed in the future.
* Thu Feb 20 2020 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 0.3.0:
+ The 0.3 release is a major milestone in the developement of
PipeWire. It features a complete redesign of the scheduling
mechanisms that make it possible to run a JACK compatibility
layer with comparable performance to JACK2.
+ The API has been reworked and is declared stable now. All
developement files and runtime paths are versioned so that
future incompatible changes can be done without breaking
exising applications.
+ PipeWire 0.3 also includes a (now mandatory) session manager
that populates and controls the PipeWire graph. This example
session manager is very simple and not configurable. It is
expected that future version will either switch to a more
flexible session manager (like WirePlumber) or improve the
configuration options of the example session manager.
+ PipeWire 0.3 includes both PulseAudio, JACK and ALSA
compatibility libraries that are known to support a wide range
of applications. The ALSA library is pretty complete at this
point. The JACK and mostly the PulseAudio compatibility
libraries need more work. See the Wiki pages for the current
compatibility problems. We do not yet encourage people to
switch away from their existing audio solutions (PulseAudio
or JACK) but we would love to hear from people who try it
anyways. Future versions will mostly focus on improving
compatibility further to make PipeWire a drop-in replacement.
PipeWire comes with some GStreamer plugins to consume and
produce data for PipeWire. The consumer (pipewiresrc) is
working well in most cases. The sink (pipewiresink) is known
to be somewhat problematic for now.
- Add pkgconfig(bluez) and pkgconfig(libpulse) BuildRequires: New
dependencies.
- Bump libpipewire, apiver and spa_ver define following upstreams
changes. 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).
