This is only the server implementation, client are expected * to use the original PulseAudio client library. This provides a * high level of compatibility with existing applications; in fact, * all usual PulseAudio tools such as pavucontrol, pactl, pamon, paplay * should continue to work as they did before. * * This module is usually loaded as part of a standalone pipewire process, * called pipewire-pulse, with the pipewire-pulse.conf config file. * * The pulse server implements a sample cache that is otherwise not * available in PipeWire. * * ## Module Name * * `libpipewire-module-protocol-pulse` * * ## Module Options * * The module arguments can be the contents of the pulse.properties but * it is recommended to make a separate pulse.properties section in the * config file so that overrides can be done. * * ## pulse.properties * * A config section with server properties can be given. * *\code{.unparsed} * # ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/custom.conf * * pulse.properties = { * # the addresses this server listens on * server.address = [ * "unix:native" * #"unix:/tmp/something" # absolute paths may be used * #"tcp:4713" # IPv4 and IPv6 on all addresses * #"tcp:[::]:9999" # IPv6 on all addresses * #"tcp:127.0.0.1:8888" # IPv4 on a single address * # * #{ address = "tcp:4713" # address * # max-clients = 64 # maximum number of clients * # listen-backlog = 32 # backlog in the server listen queue * # client.access = "restricted" # permissions for clients * #} * ] * #server.dbus-name = "org.pulseaudio.Server" * #pulse.allow-module-loading = true * #pulse.min.req = 128/48000 # 2.7ms * #pulse.default.req = 960/48000 # 20 milliseconds * #pulse.min.frag = 128/48000 # 2.7ms * #pulse.default.frag = 96000/48000 # 2 seconds * #pulse.default.tlength = 96000/48000 # 2 seconds * #pulse.min.quantum = 128/48000 # 2.7ms * #pulse.default.format = F32 * #pulse.default.position = [ FL FR ] * #pulse.idle.timeout = 0 * } * * pulse.properties.rules = [ * { matches = [ { cpu.vm.name = !null } ] * actions = { * update-props = { * # These overrides are only applied when running in a vm. * pulse.min.quantum = 1024/48000 # 22ms * } * } * } * ] *\endcode * * ### Connection options * *\code{.unparsed} * ... * server.address = [ * "unix:native" * # "tcp:4713" * ] * ... *\endcode * * The addresses the server listens on when starting. Uncomment the `tcp:4713` entry to also * make the server listen on a tcp socket. This is equivalent to loading `libpipewire-module-native-protocol-tcp`. * * There is also a slightly more verbose syntax with more options: * *\code{.unparsed} * .... * server.address = [ * { address = "tcp:4713" # address * max-clients = 64 # maximum number of clients * listen-backlog = 32 # backlog in the server listen queue * client.access = "restricted" # permissions for clients * } * .... *\endcode * * Use `client.access` to use one of the access methods to restrict the permissions given to * clients connected via this address. * * By default network access is given the "restricted" permissions. The session manager is responsible * for assigning permission to clients with restricted permissions (usually read-only permissions). * *\code{.unparsed} * server.dbus-name = "org.pulseaudio.Server" *\endcode * * The DBus name to reserve for the server. If you have multiple servers, you might want * to change the name. * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.allow-module-loading = true *\endcode * * By default, clients are allowed to load and unload modules. You can disable this * feature with this option. * * ### Playback buffering options * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.min.req = 128/48000 # 2.7ms *\endcode * * The minimum amount of data to request for clients. The client requested * values will be clamped to this value. Lowering this value together with * tlength can decrease latency if the client wants this, but increase CPU overhead. * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.default.req = 960/48000 # 20 milliseconds *\endcode * * The default amount of data to request for clients. If the client does not * specify any particular value, this default will be used. Lowering this value * together with tlength can decrease latency but increase CPU overhead. * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.default.tlength = 96000/48000 # 2 seconds *\endcode * * The target amount of data to buffer on the server side. If the client did not * specify a value, this default will be used. Lower values can decrease the * latency. * * ### Record buffering options * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.min.frag = 128/48000 # 2.7ms *\endcode * * The minimum allowed size of the capture buffer before it is sent to a client. * The requested value of the client will be clamped to this. Lowering this value * can reduce latency at the expense of more CPU usage. * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.default.frag = 96000/48000 # 2 seconds *\endcode * * The default size of the capture buffer before it is sent to a client. If the client * did not specify any value, this default will be used. Lowering this value can * reduce latency at the expense of more CPU usage. * * ### Scheduling options * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.min.quantum = 128/48000 # 2.7ms *\endcode * * The minimum quantum (buffer size in samples) to use for pulseaudio clients. * This value is calculated based on the frag and req/tlength for record and * playback streams respectively and then clamped to this value to ensure no * pulseaudio client asks for too small quantums. Lowering this value might * decrease latency at the expense of more CPU usage. * * ### Format options * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.default.format = F32 *\endcode * * Some modules will default to this format when no other format was given. This * is equivalent to the PulseAudio `default-sample-format` option in * `/etc/pulse/daemon.conf`. * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.default.position = [ FL FR ] *\endcode * * Some modules will default to this channelmap (with its number of channels). * This is equivalent to the PulseAudio `default-sample-channels` and * `default-channel-map` options in `/etc/pulse/daemon.conf`. * * ### Quirk options * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.fix.format = "S16LE" *\endcode * * When a stream uses the FIX_FORMAT flag, fixate the format to this value. * Normally the format would be fixed to the sink/source that the stream connects * to. When an invalid format (null or "") is set, the FIX_FORMAT flag is ignored. * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.fix.rate = 48000 *\endcode * * When a stream uses the FIX_RATE flag, fixate the sample rate to this value. * Normally the rate would be fixed to the sink/source that the stream connects * to. When a 0 rate is set, the FIX_RATE flag is ignored. * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.fix.position = "[ FL FR ]" *\endcode * * When a stream uses the FIX_CHANNELS flag, fixate the channels to this value. * Normally the channels would be fixed to the sink/source that the stream connects * to. When an invalid position (null or "") is set, the FIX_CHANNELS flag is ignored. * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.idle.timeout = 0 *\endcode * * Some clients are not sending data when they should and cause underruns. When * setting this option such clients will be set to paused if they underrun * for the given amount of seconds. This makes sure that sinks can suspend and * save battery power. When the client resumes, it will unpause again. * A value of 0 disables this feature. * * ## Command execution * * As part of the server startup sequence, a set of commands can be executed. * Currently, this can be used to load additional modules into the server. * *\code{.unparsed} * # Extra commands can be executed here. * # load-module : loads a module with args and flags * # args = " " * # flags = [ "no-fail" ] * pulse.cmd = [ * { cmd = "load-module" args = "module-always-sink" flags = [ ] } * #{ cmd = "load-module" args = "module-switch-on-connect" } * #{ cmd = "load-module" args = "module-gsettings" flags = [ "nofail" ] } * ] *\endcode * ## Dynamic properties * * The pulse.properties can be dynamically updated with rules. It supports * an `update-props` action. The matches will be performed on the values in * context.properties. * *\code{.unparsed} * pulse.properties.rules = [ * { matches = [ { cpu.vm.name = !null } ] * actions = { * update-props = { * # These overrides are only applied when running in a vm. * pulse.min.quantum = 1024/48000 # 22ms * } * } * } * ] *\endcode * * In the above example, when running in a VM, the rule will override the properties * in pulse.properties with the given values. This might be interesting because * VMs usually can't support the low latency settings that are possible on real * hardware. * * ## Stream settings and rules * * Streams created by module-protocol-pulse will use the stream.properties * section and stream.rules sections as usual. * * ## Application settings (Rules) * * The pulse protocol module supports generic config rules. It supports a pulse.rules * section with a `quirks` and an `update-props` action. * *\code{.unparsed} * # ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/custom.conf * * pulse.rules = [ * { * # skype does not want to use devices that don't have an S16 sample format. * matches = [ * { application.process.binary = "teams" } * { application.process.binary = "teams-insiders" } * { application.process.binary = "skypeforlinux" } * ] * actions = { quirks = [ force-s16-info ] } * } * { * # speech dispatcher asks for too small latency and then underruns. * matches = [ { application.name = "~speech-dispatcher*" } ] * actions = { * update-props = { * pulse.min.req = 1024/48000 # 21ms * pulse.min.quantum = 1024/48000 # 21ms * pulse.idle.timeout = 5 # pause after 5 seconds of underrun * } * } * } * ] *\endcode * * ### Quirks * * The quirks action takes an array of quirks to apply for the client. * * * `force-s16-info` makes the sink and source introspect code pretend that the sample format * is S16 (16 bits) samples. Some application refuse the sink/source if this * is not the case. * * `remove-capture-dont-move` Removes the DONT_MOVE flag on capture streams. Some applications * set this flag so that the stream can't be moved anymore with tools such as * pavucontrol. * * `block-source-volume` blocks the client from updating any source volumes. This can be used * to disable things like automatic gain control. * * `block-sink-volume` blocks the client from updating any sink volumes. * * `block-record-stream` blocks the client from creating any record stream. * * `block-playback-stream` blocks the client from creating any playback stream. * * ### update-props * * Takes an object with the properties to update on the client. Common actions are to * tweak the quantum values. * * ## Example configuration * *\code{.unparsed} * # ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/custom.conf * * context.modules = [ * { name = libpipewire-module-protocol-pulse * args = { } * } * ] * * pulse.properties = { * server.address = [ "unix:native" ] * } * * pulse.rules = [ * { * # skype does not want to use devices that don't have an S16 sample format. * matches = [ * { application.process.binary = "teams" } * { application.process.binary = "teams-insiders" } * { application.process.binary = "skypeforlinux" } * ] * actions = { quirks = [ force-s16-info ] } * } * { * # speech dispatcher asks for too small latency and then underruns. * matches = [ { application.name = "~speech-dispatcher*" } ] * actions = { * update-props = { * pulse.min.req = 1024/48000 # 21ms * pulse.min.quantum = 1024/48000 # 21ms * pulse.idle.timeout = 5 # pause after 5 seconds of underrun * } * } * } * ] *\endcode */ #define NAME "protocol-pulse" PW_LOG_TOPIC(mod_topic, "mod."
