This makes it possible to start firefox with mjpg capture and then
video-play and it will decode the mjpeg transparently. Works for other
incompatible video formats as well, as long as they can be mmapped.
Ideally this should use something GPU accelerated and this is what the
vulkan converter will do.
Try to passthrough the converter format to the follower when we can
before negotiating a conversion.
Try to convert between all follower formats instead of just the first
one.
When enumerating the port params, first enum the follower formats and
then the conversion formats.
We have to unlink pcms when they are linked to a driver from
a different pcm.
When a playback and a capture pcm is linked and we start
the playback pcm and the capture pcm later this can leads
to a 'EPIPE' error on the capture device.

spa.alsa: hw:3,0c: snd_pcm_start: Broken pipe
...
When we drop the first buffer to avoid timestamp problems, queue it
again in the driver or else we will not be able to dequeue is again
later and we will be running with a buffer less.
Move the check for the follower==target to the negotiate functions.
Refer to the target when doing operations. The converter reference
is just some internal element that may or may not be active at the
moment. If we have multiple converter elements, the current active
one will be in target.
Since the dummy plugin can't process buffers, we should configure the
adapter to use passthrough mode for now, instead of requiering the user
to do it manually.
The port.name should be something fairly unique and stable per node that
is also human readable.
Make sure we include the ALSA client name and port name in the
port.name but try to avoid double client names when the client name
is already in the port name.
There is also a api.alsa.disable-longname that is now set to true by
default. Setting this to false will include the unique client and port
id to the port.name.
This should make the midi port names much more presentable and more in
line with JACK1.
This reverts commit 9ae89b4247.
All invokes should be paired with a lock/unlock if the loop requires
this. For internal calls of invoke, this will also be true because all
pipewire functions should be called with the lock.

Claim that call waiting notifications are supported.
Required for some devices (e.g. Soundcore Motion 300),
as they stop sending commands if the reply to CCWA is not OK.
While this is quite fast on x86 (order of a few microseconds), the
computation can take a few milliseconds on ARM (measured at 1.9ms (32000
-> 48000) and 3.3ms (32000 -> 44100) on a Cortex A53).
Let's precompute some common rates so that we can avoid this overhead on
each stream (or any other audioconvert) instantiation. The approach
taken here is to write a little program to create the resampler
instance, and run that on the host at compile-time to generate some
common rate conversions.
Now that start_monitor() (which calls start_inotify()) is called before
enum_devices() it no longer is necessary to call start_watching_device()
for devices which have been enumerated before start_inotify() gets
called (since there will not be any such devices anymore).

This fixes 2 races wrt probing v4l2 devices:
1. Before this change there was a window where a new udev device can get
added between the udev_enumerate_scan_devices() call in enum_devices() and
the udev_monitor_enable_receiving(this->umonitor); call. If this window was
hit then enum_devices() would not see the device and no udev-event for it
would be received either causing the device to not be seen.
Enabling udev event monitoring before calling udev_enumerate_scan_devices()
fixes this. Note that the code is already prepared to deal with getting
multiple add/change events for the same udev device, so hitting the new
race window where PipeWire may receive both an add- or change-event and
also sees + probes the device from enum_devices() is not a problem.
2. Before this change devices added by enum_devices() would not have
inotify monitoring activated right away because notify.fd = -1 at this
time turning start_watching_device() into a no-op.
These devices without inotify monitoring would then have their access
checked by process_device() calling check_access().
Then after all devices have been enumerated start_monitor() would call
start_inotify() which calls start_watching_device() for all devices added
by enum_devices(). This leaves a window where the ACL can change without
there being an inotify watch for it.
Calling start_monitor() before enum_devices() puts start_inotify()
notify before enum_devices() so that the add_device() calls done
by enum_devices() will now successfully call start_watching_device()
closing this window.
PipeWire is somewhat likely to not notify ACL changes because of this
because PipeWire is part of the systemd user default.target, where as
logind only starts applying the ACLs after GNOME has created the seat
for the GNOME session. So on first login we have PipeWire starting
and logind applying the ACLs at the same time, which allows for the ACL
change to hit the small race window where PipeWire is not monitoring
for ACL changes. Fixing this second race should hopefully resolve
issue #3960.
Closes: #3960

Some complex camera pipelines, like the IPU6 can involve many /dev/video#
nodes (32 in the IPU6 case) and the current size of 128 chars is not enough
to hold all /dev/video# nodes in this cases causing SPA_KEY_DEVICE_DEVIDS
to get truncated, which in turn breaks the filtering of V4L2 devices which
are used by a libcamera driven camera in wireplumber.
Fix this by increasing the size of devices_str[] to 256.
This fixes wireplumber adding a bunch of non-function V4L2 video sources,
e.g. before this "wpctl status" outputs the following video sources:
Video
├─ Devices:
...
├─ Sources:
│ 90. ov2740
│ * 115. ipu6 (V4L2)
...
│ 135. ipu6 (V4L2)
│
├─ Filters:
After this fix the output is:
Video
├─ Devices:
...
├─ Sources:
│ * 92. ov2740

When the queue is full, before this patch we used to go into usleep in
the hope that the other thread will run and empty the queue and that we
can retry after the usleep.
This however does not always work because the other thread might be waiting
for the thread that does the invoke call and we lock forever.
Therefore we should always try to make progress in some way. Instead of
waiting, allocate an (or use the previously allocated) overflow queue and
write to that one. We can chain multiple overflow queues together as many
as we need (but we might want to bound that as well).
The loop.retry-timeout property is now deprecated.
See #4114
The control hooks of a loop are called before the loop starts polling
and after it has finished polling. Currently, this is used to implement
the locking in pw_thread_loop. This is used to guarantee that the thread
loop's lock is taken while the thread loop is dispatching, and that
the lock can be taken while the loop is polling, when it is running
no user-space code.
However, calling the thread control hooks of thread A when doing an
blocking invoke from thread B serves little purpose, and in fact
can cause issues: for example, issuing a blocking invoke on a
pw_thread_loop does not work unless the lock thereof is taken.
This behaviour, of calling the control hooks from other threads,
is also not documented, and goes contrary to what is currently
stated in the loop.h header file:
/** Executed right before waiting for events. It is typically used to
* release locks. */
...
/** Executed right after waiting for events. It is typically used to
* reacquire locks. */
At the moment the implementation allows any thread to queue invoke
items on any other thread without restrictions; calling the control
hooks only places extra restrictions on the usability of this mechanism
(in case of pw_thread_loop, having to take the loop's lock).
So do not call the control hooks when doing a blocking invoke.
A new 'broadcasting' state is to be added in BlueZ. It is
functionally similar to 'pending', but for the Broadcast scenario.
Until now, on Broadcast sink side, the transports associated with a
scanned source would automatically be switched to pending. PipeWire
then acquired any transport that was pending.
This is to be changed, transports will now remain in 'idle' state
until the user calls transport.select on them from bluetoothctl.
This changes the state to 'broadcasting'. PipeWire will then acquire
these selected transports.
This way, the user can select to which sink he wishes to sync.
While the spec allows for 1ppm changes, our rate matching logic applies
these changes quite often, which can be spammy on USB. I haven't seen
hosts mind this, but it seems like it might be a problem at some point.
Additionally, if we also have bind ctls enabled, every pitch update is
also a wakeup for ourselves (whether or not we're listening for the
pitch ctls, since the mixer fd does not distinguish between ctls, those
are filtered after we wake up).
The 10ppm threshold is empirically tested as being not "too noisy" (i.e.
when updates happen, I can see them scroll by with `amixer events`).
If necessary, we can make this configurable in the future.
Use the new UMP alsa sequencer API to make it produce UMP packets.
Set the alsa sequencer to MIDI2.0, which will make it convert all
messages to MIDI-2.0 UMP automatically. We can copy this straight into
the control buffers.
This also solves some problems with large sysex messages that are now
nicely split into chunks with UMP.
The IO_Buffers is used in the data thread to check if the port should be
scheduled or not. Make sure it is only set after we set buffers on the
port and cleared before the buffers are cleared.
Make sure we sync the port->io with the data thread.
See #4094
Due to the how the kernel part of BlueZ computes the extended
advertising interval for a Broadcast Source, a sync_factor smaller
than 2 will result in an invalid interval value (too small).
When using Open Broadcaster Software with Pipewire and a libcamera
camera node, changing the ExposureTime doesn't work.
The commit introducing the camera control setting has commented out the
integer case: ef4b9745b2 ("libcamera: handle canceled requests")
But as it doesn't give a reson for the comment, it looks like an
oversight.
Therefore removing the comment to allow setting the ExposureTime integer.

The Pipewire libcamera spa plugin exposes multiple camera properties.
Unlike v4l2, libcamera usually exposes these as normalized floating
point values. But as the SPA_PROP types are based on v4l2, they are
currently set to integers.
This causes a problem when using pw-cli to change the properties,
as the spa_json_to_pod_part function casts the properties according
to their spa_type_info. Other software that doesn't depend on the
spa_type_info can correctly set the properties, as the values are
encoded in the spa_pod type and therefore also carry a type.
As the limited range from switching integers to floats is likely not a
problem, the affected spa properties were changed to the Float type.
This will cause pw-cli to also generate spa_pod values of type float
when setting v4l2 properties. Therefore the v4l2 spa plugin is also
adapted to allow floating point properties and cast these to integers.

Make a new flag that is set when the process function is called because
of a recover from a graph xrun.
Use this flag in the freewheel driver to detect a recover and to avoid
scheduling a new timeout. We should schedule a new timeout only when the
process function was called after completion.
This fixes export in ardour some more when the initial driver timeout
didn't complete (when, for example, some nodes were still starting up).
Use dynamic pod builder so that we can also build complex formats.
Make sure we zero the format before we parse it or else we end up with
potentially uninitialized values.
When ENUM_FRAMESIZES or VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMEINTERVALS return EINVAL for the
first index, make a dummy result and continue with that. This will
trigger an intersect withe filter so that we end up with something valid
instead of nothing.
Handle 0 framerates without crashing.

ACP allows multiple %f in device strings (cf pa_alsa_open_by_template),
but we replace only one of them when emitting the nodes. The a52
profiles in default.conf use multiple %f and probably don't work.
Fix to replace also multiple %f when emitting ACP device nodes.
`:` is a reserved character on Windows filesystems.
As far as I can tell from looking through both PulseAudio and PipeWire
commit history the files under `alsa/mixer/samples` are not used or
installed by anything.

This provides access to GNU C library-style endian and byteswap functions.
Windows doesn't provide pre-processor defines for endianness, but
all current Windows architectures (X32, X64, ARM) are little-endian.
The `LoopUtils` interface can be used on platforms that don't
support the Linux-specific `timerfd` interface.
Added `local-videotestsrc` to validate the plugin still functions.
Restructured the SDL event loop as the window would not update
under WSL2, resulting in a black window being shown. All rendering
in SDL2 must happen on the same thread that originally created the
renderer.
To prevent the SDL event loop from being starved, we make sure to
poll it at least every 100 ms.
I believe the intent here is that if a `interval` is provided
but `value` is unset, then `value` should default to `period`
so the timer first fires after one `interval`.
Since `interval` is always a relative duration, `value` should
be interpreted as a relative duration, not an absolute one.
