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.
Sometimes you want to use the convolver as a delay without adding
latency so add a latency option to tweak the automatic latency
reporting. Use this in the upmix rear delay filters.
Solution suggested by Xi Ruoyao.
The dbus user service is required for various features - the summary says:
'dbus (Bluetooth, rt, portal, pw-reserve)'
On session logout the dbus service gets shut down while the Pipewire one
relies on a timeout. If a user logs in again before PW timed out, the
later stays alive but doesn't handle re-connecting to the dbus service
of the new session, breaking the camera portal and potentially other
features.
Thus hard-depend on the dbus service (if enabled at build time) and thus
shut down together with it.
Add jack.connect-audio and jack.connect-midi to specify an array of port
names to link to instead of the default phyisical ports.
Also actually fixes linking the midi ports correctly.
The `access(2)` based multi-user mediation mechanism doesn't quite work
for the root user, which may cause it to conflict with a running
foreground user session. Prevent this by not running the user service at
all for the root user, which nobody should be doing anyway.
Add an option to add the MIDI2 flag on ports. This is disabled by
default because most JACK apps don't know about the flag and then
refuse to show the MIDI ports.
Fixes#4584
We now automatically move non-rt clients into non-rt threads so the
client-rt.conf is obsolete.
Move the module-rt in client.conf and add conditions to disable modules.
Transparently load client.conf in case applications still specify
client-rt.conf.
Custon configuration in the client-rt.conf.d/ should be moved to
client.conf.d/
The EBU R128 filter measures the signal and generates LUFS control
notifications for further processing.
It also adds a plugin that can convert LUFS to a gain (based on a target
LUFS).
Also add an example filter-chain to enable the EBU R128 measurement and
how to use the results to adjust the volume dynamically.
See #2286#222#2210
So that a config override can disable the execution of the command by
setting the property to false in the pulse.properties config override.
Expose some conf.c method for this purpose.
Add support for some modules to use a module.$NAME.args config section
to override the arguments of the module. Update the docs.
Add more conditions to the module loading, use !false to also load the
module when the condition is not set and so that we don't have to
explicitly set each condition to true.
Improve module-profiler example config.
Use node.param.Props for the patternType on videotestsr.
Make the audiotestsrc non-live. Otherwise it will be live but not a
driver and fail to schedule things.
See #4341
Our current AES67 sender setup requires that that PTP driver drive the
entire graph. This adds support for allowing the AES67 RTP sink to be
driven by an arbitrary driver, while still using the PTP driver for
sending data on the network.
When aes67.driver-group is specified a pw_filter is created with no
ports, node.always-process = true and node.group set to the
aes67.driver-group. When set to PTP, this gives us process callbacks at
the PTP rate which we use to get the current PTP time in the RTP sender
by interpolating the clock snapshots from the pw-filter.

We have various modules that set the priority higher than the dummy and
freewheel driver (ffado, netjack,...). This makes it impossible to use
the freewheel driver on them.
We handeled "arg1 arg2 ... " before and used to split between spaces to
get the arguments for execvp but that doesn't work so well when there
are arguments with spaces.
Instead use JSON parsing to get the array of arguments. This make it
possible to use [ arg1 arg2 .. ] and quote each arg separately. You
can still use the old method and even double escape:
"\"arg1\" \"arg2 with spaces\"" or
[ "arg1" "arg2 with spaces" ]
Add config options to create and start multiple data loops, each with
their own priority and thread affinity if requested.
Make it possible to assign loop.classes to the data-loops. Use the
node.loop.class to find a data-loop for the node of the same class. Try
to evenly spread the nodes over the available matching loops.
With this, it is possible to separate the processing of the nodes
depending on the classes, like audio/video and improve concurency on
the server.
No attempt is done yet to move nodes between loops or to move
independent nodes to separate data loops.
Fixes#3969
Add a -P (--properties) option to create the context with custom
properties. This can be used to control the modules that are loaded, for
example when they have conditions.
The min should always be 1. We have other ways of bumping the number of
buffers to 2, like the ASYNC allocation flag which we can set if we are
also doing some async scheduling. We could make this an option later.
Otherwise, we would also allocate 2 buffers by default between the mixer
and the node, which is unnecessary.
Add link.min-buffers option to set the minimum amount of buffers to
create for links. Set this by default to 2 because we really need two
now in case the sink xruns and does async mixing.
Make this an option because in low-memory cases and when xruns are not
expected, we can set this to 1.
Add pw_conf_section_update_props_rules() that will not only update the
properties of a section but wil also apply rules in section.rules and
match against the context properties.
Use this by default when using pw_context_conf_update_props().
Add a new method to get a string name of the VM type. Place the
cpu.vm.name in the context properties.
This makes it possible to deprecate the vm.overrides with something more
flexible based on rules. Update the conf files and docs to refect this.
Remove some of the hardcoded values (the absolute smallest buffer size,
independent on the sample rate) to a config option. Set it to the
default value of 4, like what it was before.
Change the hardcoded absolute lowest limit to 1 because anything else
does not make sense.
Enforce the quantum-floor when calculating the final graph quantum.
Fixes#3908
Add a monitor.passthrough option. This will pass all latency information
directly between the port and its monitor ports.
This is interesting when the adapter (and audioconvert) is used with a
null-audio-sink that simply forwards the data to a real sink/souce. In
that case, we want the sink/source latency to be passed unmodified.
Set the monitor.passthrough on the pulseaudio null-sink because
a passthrough virtual sink is the most likely use case for this.
Add some monitor.passthrough default config where it makes sense.
Fixes#3888
node.sync-group can contain a list of strings. When a node in the graph
sets node.sync = true, it will be scheduled with all of the other nodes with
common node.sync-group strings. By default all nodes are placed in
group.sync.0 except the freewheel and dummy driver.
Use this to ensure that all nodes are grouped under the same driver
(that is not the freewheel and dummy driver) as soon as the transport is
started so that the transport is visible to all nodes from the same
sync-groups. We also don't deactive the sync-group anymore for the node,
even if the transport is stopped, to avoid driver changes and transport
jumps.
When the node that activated the sync/transport is destroyed, things are
restored to their original state. Note that this is different from JACK
where starting the transport outlives the application and always needs
to be explicitly stopped again. We can't really do this (by default) because
it leaves the graph in an unnatural state with all devices in sync.
The reason for the node.sync-group is that it is possible to still have N
different subgraphs with a separate transports by manually specifying
the node.sync-group.
It's also slightly different from the node.group, that is always active.
The sync-group is something you only want to enable in specific cases
because it groups drivers together and enables adaptive resampling etc.
It's also possible to place this option in the jack.conf file to
automatically sync all devices and apps as soon as a jack app is started.
Fixes#3850
Make a rtprio-server and rtprio-client option. Leave the server
priority by default to 88 but lower client priority to 83. JACK
does something similar by setting clients to rtprio-server - 5.
Make module-rt use the client priority by default and bump the server
priority explicitly in the config file.
Leave the pulse-server to the default rtprio-client, there is no reason
to lower this any further because it is really just a regular client.
Bump the ffado packetizer thread to rtprio-server + 5 because that is
also what JACK does.
88 is still much higher than the value of 60 that JACK uses in
Fedora but now this is at least configurable.
Add a new property that controls how connections between other ports are
handled. This can be used to block jack apps from connecting or
disconnecting port they don't own.
Move configuration of initial Params from the adapter to the node to
make it more generally useful.
Add the same device.param config to devices.
This makes it possible to configure the default settings statically
while creating the nodes and devices.
Make it possible to wrap nodes created by a device in a wrapper such
as adapter.
Update the minimal.conf to use udev to detect and configure devices and
nodes. Add a config switch to switch back to hardcoded config.
Variables enclosed with @ are replaced with the value of the variable.
The sink.name should remain @DEFAULT_SINK@.
Escape the enclosing @ to prevent substitution of DEFAULT_SINK with an
empty string while generating pipewire.conf.
