When we are using the same clock (!matching) try to link the two PCM
devices together. This starts and stops the devices at the same time and
gives better latency.
Keep track or the follower state and do the sync from the driver
wakeup.
This improves sync between devices because the sync no longer
depends on when the node was woken up in the graph and scheduled. We
would have been able to handle this difference by using the htimestamp
but that doesn't seen to work reliably on some hardware.
This is also essential for the interrupt based scheduling.
Split the spa_alsa_start() in a prepare and start function. Prepare
will then also reset state and prefill the playback buffer with silence.
This makes it possible to reuse the prepare function in recover().
If we detect Playback/Capture Pitch 1000000, we can adjust those values
to update the feedback endpoint for the host. On the capture side, this
will instruct the host to adjust the rate at which data is being sent.
On the playback side, this will adjust the amount of data the USB gadget
driver sends out in each USB tick.
Use a separate variable to hold the maximum amount of drift we allow
between driver and follower. Ensure this value is smaller than the max_error
and period size so that we have at most 1 period of drift.
Provides configuration to disable timer-based scheduling. This can be
useful at low latencies, for example, where period-based interrupts
might be more reliable than timers.
Don't just limit the max delay of samples we keep in the ALSA ringbuffer
to the buffer_size but to half of it. Make this into a max_delay
variable.
If we have a buffer size of 8192 samples and a headroom of 8192 samples,
when capturing, we would wait for the ringbuffer to contain at least
8192 samples, which would always xrun. When we limit the size to
half, we can still read the data without xruns.
Fixes#2972
For encoded format, we need to send bigger chunks to make the encoder
happy. Add a new min_delay variable with this info so that we never
leave less than that amount of samples in the ringbuffer.
Fixes#2650
Pass the current time around in various functions.
Make a higher precission htimestamp based get_delay() function. Seems to
work fine for playback but not for capturee.
Parse the quantum_limit parameters and use this to scale the buffers so
that they can contain the maximum allowed samples instead of the
hardcoded 8192 value.

The `card` structure uses `uint32_t` for its index member,
on the other hand, the `state` structure uses `int`. No code
depends on it being `int`, therefore change it to `uint32_t`
for consistency.
The id is useless when dealing with props params, we need to use the
name of the property as the key. Also the id can clash with other ids
of other plugins.
Add PropInfo for all the params that we can configure at construct
time and also add them as PROP_params.
This way you can configure the headroom at runtime with this:
pw-cli s <id> Props '{ params = [ "api.alsa.headroom" 1024 ] }'
Expose the card object and always obtain one per pcm.
Keep the configured format in the card object.
Add a api.alsa.multi-rate property. When multi_rate is disabled,
only allow the last configured card rate on all PCMs.
This works around drivers that can't handle multiple samplerates
on their PCMs.
With this patch it should be mostly safe to configure multiple
sample rates in pipewire.conf
See #1547
Get the ucm prefix only once, when we open the UCM card and then
use it for all devices using the card.
Construct the device name right before we open it with the ucm prefix
and possibly the AES flags instead of messing with the property.
ALSA has problems with creating more than 8 configs per card so cache
the config per card and reuse it.
Fixes problems with no devices after logging out and in again because
ALSA can't create UCM profiles anymore.
See #1553
For hdmi and iec958 devices, enumerate the iec958 formats and
codecs. Initially only PCM is supported as a codec but with
a property or an init option, the list of codecs can be dynamically
configured.
Move the code to check the position duration for changes to one
new method.
Also check for samplerate changes and adjust the resampler state
accordingly.
Use _alibpref to check if a device needs a UCM local config. Mark
the device as such and use this to set the OPEN_UCM property on
the device.
Open the UCM for a card when the device has the property set. Use the
same logic for loading the UCM as the acp code.
See #1251
