Pass zero-length packets to the codec. BAP/ISO may use these to indicate
missing data.
Fix A2DP codecs to not parse input with spa_return_val_if_fail, that's
meant for assertions. Just return -EINVAL directly, it's normal that
input data may contain garbage.
Currently, the PipeWire daemon registers BlueZ LE Media Endpoints
with audio capabilities covering all settings defined in the BAP spec.
However, some scenarios might require the capabilities to be restricted
to specific configurations.
This adds a method to read LC3 codec specific capabilities from the
Wireplumber config file, and provide those settings when registering
Media Endpoint objects with BlueZ. If the values are not present in
the config file, all settings will be used by default.
Below is an example of how to set the LC3 capabilities in the config
file, to support the 16_2 setting from the BAP spec:
bluez5.bap-server-capabilities.rates = [16000]
bluez5.bap-server-capabilities.durations = [10]
bluez5.bap-server-capabilities.channels = [1, 2]
bluez5.bap-server-capabilities.framelen_min = 40
bluez5.bap-server-capabilities.framelen_max = 40
bluez5.bap-server-capabilities.max_frames = 2
Encoders and some decoders have additional internal latency that needs
to be accounted for.
This mostly matters for AAC (~40ms), as the other BT codecs have much
lower delays (~5ms).
Add a flag A2DP_CODEC_FLAG_SINK to incidate a sink endpoint.
Also enum_config and caps_preference_cmp may need to know whether the
codec is being configured for SRC or SNK. Also add the flags argument to
init_props.
Bump codec API version.
Codecs may need to fragment a single encoder frame across multiple
packets that are sent consecutively.
Allow codec->encode() to set need_flush=NEED_FLUSH_FRAGMENT, so that
sink should immediately call start_encode + encode with NULL input data,
to produce the next packet.
Previously, other return values than need_flush=1 were unused, so no
need to bump codec ABI for this.
Make easier to package A2DP codecs separately, by splitting each to a
separate SPA plugin. Adjust the code to not use a global variable for
the codec list.
The A2DP SPA interface API is in the bluez5 private headers, and not
exposed in installed SPA headers, as it's too close to the
implementation.
We don't currently implement encoding for the duplex channel
for these codecs, so they are not fully functional as A2DP sinks,
and their main use is anyway with headphones.
Also, the number of endpoints in BlueZ appears to be limited, and
appears to be counted across all adapters. Unclear whether this comes
from AVDTP limitation, but currently plugging in a second BT adapter
causes the second media application registration to fail. This change
reduces the number of endpoints enough so that registration succeeds for
two adapters.
There doesn't seem to be a way to control the A2DP duplex microphone
HW volume gain, and devices sometimes have very low mic volumes.
Work around this by boosting the software volume scale by +20 dB. If it
causes clipping, the user can just reduce the volume to bring SW gain
below 1.0.
aptX-LL sink devices may send back mSBC encoded data corresponding to
microphone input. It appears to be enabled when the bidirectional link
is set in the caps, and the device also supports this.
Implement mSBC decoding in the duplex channel.
Tested to be working on Avantree Aria Pro.
Support the low-latency variant of the aptx codec.
The magic mostly seems to be on the device side, since the stream is the
same as standard aptx, but latency is smaller even if stream/packet
sizes are the same.
Sound output latency is noticeably less than with the standard aptx.
Tested on Sennheiser HD 250 / Avantree Aria Pro.
The codec in principle also supports bidirectional duplex streams,
but that is not implemented here.
libfreeaptx is a fork of libopenaptx prior to the dubious licensing
situation was introduced to the library.
As it's fully API compatible, let's use that instead for those who
want to use aptX support.
The library source is available at https://github.com/iamthehorker/libfreeaptx
Mark some structures, arrays static/const at various places.
In some cases this prevents unnecessary initialization
when a function is entered.
All in all, the text segments across all shared
libraries are reduced by about 2 KiB. However,
the total size increases by about 2 KiB as well.
Let codec decides when rtp packet need to be sent (terminated by MTU size in most case).
LDAC encoding loop can now be terminated by reading if frame_num is written, no 'frame_count' updating is needed.
RTP payload fragmentation can now be implemented more easily based on this.
Initial Props value are parsed from device settings, further changes are triggered by 'set_param' on a2dp node.
Codec can then use props to tweak its transcoder.
