In USB Audio Class 2 (UAC2) setups, pitch control is handled by
feedback endpoints. The host adjusts its data rate accordingly.
When pitch control is active (pitch_elem), applying the default
delay-locked loop (DLL) bandwidth can lead to instability and
oscillations around the target rate.
This patch adds a new parameter, api.alsa.dll-bandwidth-max, to
configure the maximum DLL bandwidth. It introduces a new field
in the ALSA state to store this value.
By default, it uses SPA_DLL_BW_MAX, but when pitch control is in
use, setting it to a lower value (e.g. 0.02) helps ensure better
stability, based on empirical testing.
In some cases, it is possible that the follower shares a clock with the
driver, but the driver rate is not known when the follower is assigned
to the driver. If this happens, then state->driver_rate is 0, and when
setting the format, we might think that we need to resample (because
follower rate != driver rate). This can cause us to incorrectly halve
the period size for the node.
This was introduced in commit 0b67c10a9c,
which forces reevaluation of matching status on driver change.
To avoid this, let us also probe for the driver rate when updating the
matching status, so we can make the update more accurate.
Some devices might have nonfunctional 'Pro Audio' sound. This patch adds a
new 'api.acp.disable-pro-audio' option to disable pro-audio profile entirely.
This reverts commit b57b87abbb.
It turns out this device is subtily different and doesn't work with the
current profile configurations. A UCM profile was added to alsa-ucm-conf
instead.
Otherwise we won't be able to negotiate with a port that only wants old
style midi.
Instead just negotiate the control link, conversion to old style midi
will be done in the control mixer for the old client.
Fixes#4759
Make a new alsa.use-ucm option that sets api.alsa.use-ucm on the device
it creates (when set).
There is some documentation floating around (thr arch wiki) with this
property.
See #4755
alsa_write_sync can insert or remove some data from alsa when
resynchronization is needed.
Avail and delay are equal when high precision timestamps are not allowed.
When the high precision timestamps are enabled, the delay is avail
adjusted to current_time.

When a linked node needs to be resynced we actually never clear the
flag or reset the dll. Move the code around so that it still does
the reset of the flag and dll without actually doing the resync in
the ringbuffer when it is a linked node.
When we do_prepare, always reset the dll. We already set the alsa_sync
field but that is only used by followers to resync in some cases.
When reseting the dll, we also reset the next_time and base_time values,
we however need to do this before calculating the error in update_time
when we are the driver in IRQ mode or else we get some crazy error
that distorts the rate estimation.
Interrupts are disabled in alsa_irq_wakeup_event -> playback_ready method
to not produce another wakeups when waiting for a new data. Interrupts are
enabled again when a new data arrives in a method spa_alsa_write.
In rare cases, when there is multiple streams providing data and one of
them is disconnected, a new data fails to be delivered and the spa_alsa_write
is not called. Not providing data produces underrun and alsa-pcm invokes
recovery process. Recovery process starts a new playback, but without interrupts
enabled is graph not triggered and new data are not delivered (to enable
interrupts). Recovery process keeps running in loop.
Now the interrupts are enabled again after the recovery and the starvation
should not occur.

config.h needs to be consistently included before any standard headers
if we ever want to set feature test macros (like _GNU_SOURCE or whatever)
inside. It can lead to hard-to-debug issues without that.
It can also be problematic just for our own HAVE_* that it may define
if it's not consistently made available before our own headers. Just
always include it first, before everything.
We already did this in many files, just not consistently.
Including C headers inside of `extern "C"` breaks use from C++. Hoist
the includes of standard C headers above the block so we don't try
to mangle the stdlib.
I initially tried to scope this with a targeted change but it's too
hard to do correctly that way. This way, we avoid whack-a-mole.
Firefox is working around this in their e21461b7b8b39cc31ba53c47d4f6f310c673ff2f

There is no need to encode the potential format in the format.dsp of
control ports, this is just for legacy compatibility with JACK apps. The
actual format can be negotiated with the types field.
Fixes midi port visibility with apps compiled against 1.2, such as JACK
apps in flatpaks.
Some devices have a hardware volume control, but not a dedicated
hardware mute control. In some of these cases, the volume control is
described as having a hardware mute when volume is 0. This is described
in the TLV information of the volume control, when the
SNDRV_CTL_TLVD_DB_SCALE_MUTE flag is set in the TLV structure.
If set, alsa-lib will set the minimum dB value to -99999.99dB, which
can be detected inside PipeWire.
PipeWire can then use this hardware volume control to apply hardware
mute, when set.
In order to be able to set volumes and mutes separately, changing the
volume whilst muted will save the value, but not write it to the
hardware. When the device is unmuted, the saved value will be restored.

Check midi client version after setting it, to see if it was really
successfully set. Old kernels without UMP don't know about the midi
version fields, so snd_seq_set_client_midi_version() appears to fail
silently there.
SysEx in UMP can span multiple packets. In MIDI1 we can't split them up
into multiple events so we need to collect the complete sysex and then
write out the event.
Fixes SysEx writes to ALSA seq by running the event encoder until a
valid packet is completed.
Also fixes split MIDI1 packets in the JACK API when going through the
tunnel or via netjack.
GoXLR Mini has different numbers of channels actually available (21, 23,
or 25) depending on its firmware/etc, but its UCM profile specifies
always 23. The count can then be bigger or smaller than what is actually
available.
Fail a bit more gracefully in the case of too few channels: create all
the split devices specified by the profile. The channels that aren't
actually available in HW just won't get routed anywhere.
ALSA upstream IIUC is saying that the channel counts should be fixed, so
spew warnings that say the UCM profiles are wrong if they look wrong.
Although the two structs have same initial sequence, it's not really
correct to cast between their pointers. Alsa-lib also does this only
internally, but not in API.
Support also non-UMP IO with ALSA seq, in case either alsa-lib or the
kernel does not have UMP enabled.
Add configuration option "api.alsa.seq.ump" for optionally turning UMP
I/O off, for easier debugging.
Generally ALSA UCM profiles should all work as they're supposed to be
device-specific, so be more noisy when the profile fails to be supported
due to the PCM device failing to open.
Some logging on the probe outcome in failure case also makes
spa-acp-tool etc. log output easier to read.
In SplitPCM mode, Focusrite Scarlett Gen 4 (USB 1235:8218) UCM profile
specifies "CaptureChannels 2" for the Mic1/2 inputs, but
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_channels(2) fails for the HW device.
Fix by not requiring the channel count to be exact for SplitPCM, but
also allow larger numbers of channels than what UCM profile specifies.
When setting Route param, check that the route actually is part of the
active profile.
Also, check that the device given corresponds to the given route, before
setting properties. acp_device_set_port() also checks this, but we
shouldn't allow updating properties of Routes in non-active profiles.
Setting ports or applying props on devices not part of the profile can
do unexpected things e.g. alter mixer settings.
