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 a new property that controls how connections between other ports are
handled. This can be used to block jack apps from connecting or
disconnecting port they don't own.
JACK does not automatically generate aliases, so don't do that either.
The problem is that no new ports can be created if one already exists
with the same name or any of the aliases. This causes problems when a
port is renamed and a new port is created with the old name because the
alias might still be the old name and port creation fails.
Add a jack.fill-aliases for this purpose.
Fixes#3154
Now that always-process nodes (the default for jack clients) can never
idle (even with passive nodes), force the qsynth client to
node.always-process = false
We can then also use the new node.passive = out handling to only idle
and suspend when nothing is linked on the input ports.
Make jack.merge-monitor true by default because this is what JACK also
does.
Add an exception for Mixxx because that makes it easier to select the
capture/monitor ports.
Fixes#1760
Let the node.passive property make passive links. PIPEWIRE_LINK_PASSIVE
overrides the node property.
Add some nice tweaks for qsynth so that it suspends and fades out
nicely by default.
Bind to the settings metadata.
Add a property to control if a client will set a temporary or global
quantum whith jack_bufsize.
Make a match rule for jack_bufsize and force a global quantum change.
Fixes#1273
Pass MIDI events as they are.
JACK requires NoteOn 0-velocity midi events to be patched to NoteOff
events for compatibility with LV2 plugins. Let's do this patchup in
the JACK layer then and add an option to disable it.
It's best to pass the midi messages unmodified and then patch them up
wherever they need patching up.
As soon as a JACK app is started, the automatic quantum change is
disabled. This means no pulse/alsa app can change the quantum.
The only way to change the quantum is with node.force-quantum or
with the settings metadata.
This means only a JACK buffersize change (usually controlled from the
JACK app, such as in ardour) or a metadata change (from the command
line) can modify things. Both of those are usually caused by a user
action.
For JACK apps where the quantum is allowed to change automatically,
explicit rules need to be placed in the config.
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
Add a jack.show-monitor option (default true) that makes it possible
to hide the monitor ports.
Monitor ports are not enabled by default on JACK and maybe they also
should not for PipeWire. Or maybe we need some tweaks for some apps.
See #1760
Some applications might expect the process function to run concurrently
with the callbacks. PipeWire tries to avoid this by using a lock for the
duration of the process callback. Make an option to disable this.
See #1576
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
It is more like how JACK2 does things.
We get FIFO scheduling by default and we don't get killed by RTKit
when doing long operations, which seem to be the case for many
plugins.
Make arrays from config sections that should really be an array.
Having the module name as the object key technically makes it
impossible to load the same module twice because the key can only
be once in the object.
The same applies to the context.objects and context.exec sections.
This also makes it somewhat easier to parse the config..
Use log.level from the config file if not otherwise set with
PIPEWIRE_DEBUG env.
Make client log.level = 0 by default to avoid spamming the console
with errors.
Fixes#725Fixes#769
Add -c option to pipewire to select config file. Use this to select
the uninstalled conf file.
Rename conf properties, prefix with context.
Simplify the main daemon now that everything can go in config.
Simplify pipewire-pulse now that we can put everything in config, it's
now virtually the same as pipewire but with a differenct config file.
Parse server addresses as array of strings.
Make methods to load_config and load/save state. For now the config
and state directories are the same but it might not be. Implement
the search path for all config/state files as:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/[$prefix]/$name
$HOME/.config/[$prefix]/$name
$PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_DIR/pipewire/[$prefix]/$name
/etc/pipewire/[$prefix]/$name
Make some config files for jack and RT clients. Make pw-cat use the
client-rt config.
Use core state and config management in media-session.
Move all session manager state and config files to the build dir and
set the PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_DIR to this build dir.
