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.
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 extension support to modules. This is a list of extension commands
that can be performed on the module.
Remove the custom registry of extensions and make proper modules that
implement the extensions.
This is more in line with what pulseaudio does. The advantage is that the
modules actually show up in the module list and that we can use the
module user_data to implement the extension later.
Modern heterogenous multiprocessor systems rely increasingly on
scheduler hinting for efficiency gains and system optimisation.
This is especially true on embedded systems, where background
tasks such as audio daemons should be consigned to the most
power-efficient core in the system. Left to its own devices, the
Linux Completely Fair Scheduler tends to migrate Pipewire to
more performant cores, even when this is unnecessary.
Luckily, CFS can be told by a task to clamp its utilisation values.
Coupled with energy-aware scheduling, this allows the scheduler to
make better informed decisions about where tasks should be placed,
and what pstate to set for the CPU it is running on.
Enable the user to configure UCLAMP_MIN and UCLAMP_MAX values via
arguments to libpipewire-module-rt.

Add a new config section that can contain a set of commands to run after
starting.
There is only load-module available now but it can be used to remove the
dependency on pactl when starting the server.
Only enable pulse.idle.timeout for selected applications
(speech-dispatcher) and let other applications be. We can also
lower the minreq and min-quantum of speech-dispatcher now.
Fixes#2880
When a client is not sending any data when it should be and causes an
underrun, mark it as idle and record the timestamp.
When a client is idle for pulse.idle.timeout seconds, set the stream
as inactive. When more data is received, set it back to active.
Add a pulse.idle.timeout option to set a global server default or
a per-stream value. Set the server default to 5 seconds. A value of 0
can be used to disable this feature.
With this change, badly behaving clients that are not sending any data
will be paused so that the sinks can suspend to save battery power.
Fixes#2839
Rename empty.noise -> dither.noise and always add this amount of noise
when > 0. This also adds the noise to silent sounds, not only when
nothing is connected because that would also be a problem when an amp
needs to be kept alive with an non-0 signal.
Rename noise -> dither because we can use this also for dithering later.
See #705
Increase the FC filter frequency to 12KHz for better dialogs. This
filter is only applied when making the FC from FRONT channels so that
we keep the high frequency signal on the FRONT mostly.
Increase LFE filter frequency to make slightly more bass.
Disable widen filter by default.
Update config files with the correct defaults.
Add a property to select the upmix method. PSD is enabled by default
but a new simple upmixing algorithm is available that duplicates
channels and avoids lowpass filter on the FC and disables widening.
Fixes#861
Add an option to do a hilbert transform on the generated rear channels
to do a 90 degree pahse shift on them. This can improve spacialization
of the rear channels.
See #861
Add a module for a fallback dummy sink, which appears dynamically when
no other sinks are present.
Enable it for pipewire-pulse, because Pulseaudio will also show
dynamically a dummy sink.
Make the default nice.level an invalid value, that is not configured
as the priority on a process.
Explicitly enable a nice level on our daemon processes.
Fixes#2034
I don't think PipeWire currently has a way to temporarily alias
module-rtkit to module-rt though, so right now this would break realtime
scheduling for people with modified configs that use module-rtkit.
Also scale the max_quantum with the selected rate. Add a new
quantum_limit property that is the upper limit of the quantum regardless
of the sample rate, this is usually the allocated buffer size.
See #1931
Extend the server.address property so that you can also specify
an object per server. Add support for configuring some aspects of the
server such as max-clients and backlog.
Most importantly, the pipewire client.access can be configured per
server.
See #1960
200ms seems a little small, some plugins initialize themselves from the
RT thread and get killed. 2 seconds seem to be a better default.
The important part is that there is a limit so that runaway processes
are killed and don't lock up the system.
Fixes#1344
Add support for listening on IPv6 addresses.
The following address formats are supported:
* tcp:[<ipv6-addr>]:<port>,
* tcp:<ipv4-addr>:<port>,
* tcp:<port>, and
* unix:<path>.
The IP addresses are parsed using `inet_pton()`,
only the formats supported by that function
are accepted.
The IPv6 address must be surrounded by square brackets,
they do not mean "optional" here. Specifying only the
port is equivalent to the following two addresses:
* [::]:<port>, and
* 0.0.0.0:<port>.
Address parsing has been made stricter: the port
must always be specified explicitly.
Fixes#1216.
