The alsa/acp code already supports getting a user-friendly monitor name
using the EDID-Like Data (ELD) information available from cards that follow
the Intel HDA specification.
This patch adds support for also parsing the SAD fields of the ELD, and
exposing the results as a "iec958.codecs.detected" property on the
corresponding node, which should make it possible to provide more
user-friendly configuration UIs and defaults.
The default value will take effect if the session manager does not set a
different value.
Brief example:
test@test:~/checkouts/pipewire$ pw-dump | grep -E "(iec958.codecs.detected|iec958.codecs)\":"
"iec958.codecs": "[\"PCM\",\"AC3\",\"EAC3\",\"TrueHD\"]",
"iec958.codecs.detected": "[\"PCM\",\"AC3\",\"EAC3\",\"TrueHD\"]",
<after powering on my receiver>
test@test:~/checkouts/pipewire$ pw-dump | grep -E "(iec958.codecs.detected|iec958.codecs)\":"
"iec958.codecs": "[\"PCM\",\"DTS\",\"AC3\",\"EAC3\",\"TrueHD\",\"DTS-HD\"]",
"iec958.codecs.detected": "[\"PCM\",\"DTS\",\"AC3\",\"EAC3\",\"TrueHD\",\"DTS-HD\"]",
Big thanks to Pauli Virtanen <pav@iki.fi>, who also wrote large paths of the
code for this patch.
api.acp.hidden-ports and api.acp.hidden-profiles can be used to pass
a json array of ports and profiles to hide. They will not show and
will not be selectable.
Just like the latency, move the codecs to the device Route param.
This way, it is easier for the session manager to save and restore
the codecs as part of the Route settings.
This property is exposed on the device Route and forwarded to the
nodes. It then configured the process_latency.ns field, which
influences the reported port latency.
This makes it possible to change the internal port latency on the
sink and source with pavucontrol and tweak the synchronization to
compensate for internal latencies in the device.
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
Remove the soft mute/volume events, add a new method to get the soft
volume and use the volume_changed event to emit the changed soft and
monitor (real) volumes event for the node.
Make sure the monitor ports always uses the monitor volume, which is the
real volume unaffected by the mixer volumes.
This configures the soft and real volume on the sink/source in all
cases and makes the monitor port follow the real volume of the sink.
See #897
Add save property to Profile and Route params to notify the session
manager that they should be saved. Let the session manager only save
the Profile and Routes with the save flag.
Make pulse-server set the save flag on Profile and Route changes.
The result is that we can make a difference between user requested
changes and automatical changes and only remember the user preferences.
When a port changes availability, first check if we need to perform
a profile switch, if not select the new best port.
It is not clear if the port index is in the card or device port array
and it doesn't work when many ports are active. So simply iterate the
device ports and find the ones with the active flag set.
This tool detects and fixes common English spelling mistakes, with
generally very few mistakes.
Here is the command I used to generate this commit. There were a few
changes that had to be done manually, and of course adding the ignore
file:
```shell
codespell -I .codespell-ignore -x .codespell-ignore -w
```
I didn’t add it to the CI, but this would be a good place for it.
Add the list of possible ports for a device.
Pass the allowed devices in the routes.
Store the active port in the device.
Fixes enumeration of ports on devices with UCM.
Add a READONLY property flag to makr properties READONLY
Set the base_volume and volume_step in the acp device
Send the base volume and step as REAONLY properties. Use these
in pulse layer.
libacp is a port and wrapper around the pulseaudio card profile code.
It uses a set of templates for construct a card profile and mixer port
settings. It also has support for UCM when available for the hardware.
