PipeWire 0.3.22
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- Highlights
|
|
- Per client config files replace the module-profiles. It's
|
|
now possible to tweak settings and load custom modules.
|
|
- Pro Audio card profile support. You can now select the
|
|
Pro Audio profile and have raw device access with the
|
|
maximum number of channels and no mixer controls. This is
|
|
the usual setup for managing high end Pro Audio cards.
|
|
- Many fixes and improvements in the JACK library to make
|
|
devices look and integrate better.
|
|
- Many bluetooth improvements. Playback should be more
|
|
reliable and better synchronized. Support for the HFP HF
|
|
profile.
|
|
- Small fixes and improvements all over the map.
|
|
|
|
- PipeWire improvements
|
|
- Add support for restrictions requested by a client. This
|
|
makes it possible to implement Flatpak policy for emulated
|
|
PulseAudio clients as well.
|
|
- Fix removal of params in objects. Previously they would not
|
|
be removed from the cache.
|
|
- Remove mlock warnings by default. There is an option to enable
|
|
them again if you want to check if your system is optimized.
|
|
- Remove LimitMEMLOCK lines from the service files. They can
|
|
only lower the system settings and are thus not useful.
|
|
- Implement per-client config files. Each pipewire client will
|
|
now read a config file that you can use to configure the
|
|
context of the client.
|
|
- Implement state and config load/save in pipewire. This is used
|
|
by the session manager or other apps.
|
|
- Make an option to disable dbus support.
|
|
- Add tool to convert pipewire config to JSON.
|
|
|
|
- Session-manager
|
|
- Give all permissions to Manager flatpak apps. In the future
|
|
we will use the Permission store to remember user settings.
|
|
- Improvements to default audio/sink handling.
|
|
- Add option to configure device suspend time.
|
|
- Small fixes in route handling.
|
|
|
|
- Device support
|
|
- Complain when ACP profile files are not found and use
|
|
a fallback in order to get something working.
|
|
- Add volume support to monitor ports.
|
|
- Fix resume from suspend for ALSA in more cases.
|
|
- ALSA ACP cards now have a Pro Audio profile that exposes
|
|
the raw card devices.
|
|
|
|
- Bluetooth
|
|
- Enable A2DP delay reporting. This improves audio/video sync
|
|
when playing audio over bluetooth.
|
|
- Fix stuttering in A2DP source
|
|
- Tweak buffer size and latency settings to avoid stuttering
|
|
- More work on HSP and HFP support
|
|
- Fix initial profile configuration
|
|
- Add HFP HF support
|
|
|
|
- PulseAudio server
|
|
- Small tweaks in capture packet size to avoid crashes in some
|
|
apps.
|
|
- Detect Flatpak apps and requests the flatpak permissions from
|
|
the session manager. This means that Flatpak pulseaudio apps
|
|
will now run with reduced permissions.
|
|
|
|
- ALSA plugin
|
|
- Reduce min buffer size in the plugin for lower possible
|
|
latency.
|
|
|
|
- JACK
|
|
- implement some missing methods to make qjackctl work again.
|
|
- Use the context data thread instead of making our own. This
|
|
fixes the issue where the data thread was not given RT
|
|
priority correctly.
|
|
- Pass extra jack flags around in port properties. This makes
|
|
CV ports in carla work.
|
|
- Many tweaks to the port names and aliases. Unwanted characters
|
|
are filtered out, giving better names to jack apps. Default
|
|
device names are now equal to those seen in pulseaudio apps.
|
|
- Add an option to make a separate client for the monitor ports
|
|
of a device. This makes it more usable in apps.
|
|
- add support for system:playback_N and system:capture_N port
|
|
names for apps that hardcode these port names.

|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- Highlights
|
|
- Many PulseAudio compatibility fixes. Handling of corked
|
|
streams, the prebuf setting, seek modes and stream flags
|
|
are now implemented correctly.
|
|
- Ports and Profiles are now managed by the session manager
|
|
and can save and restore previous settings.
|
|
- ALSA device handling has been tweaked for maximum
|
|
compatibility at the expense of latency. There are tuning
|
|
options in the config file.
|
|
- Improved Bluetooth support. HSP is disabled by default
|
|
because it is old and deprecated and in some cases causes
|
|
conflicts with the newer HFP profile. Codec switching is
|
|
now implemented as well.
|
|
- PipeWire accepts donations with liberapay now.
|
|
|
|
- PipeWire improvements
|
|

|
- Fix handling of empty array/choice instead of failing.
|
|
- Fix crashes when creating properties from empty strings.

|
|
routes.
|
|
- Use a default route volume for unknown routes instead of
|
|
letting the system decide on a default.
|
|
- Improve profile handling. Don't try to restore unavailable
|
|
profiles. Implement the profile switching in the session
|
|
manager now.
|
|
- Fix handling of Virtual sources as defaults.
|
|
- Handle port switching in the session manager. Implement
|
|
save and restore of default ports per profile.
|
|
|
|

|
- Fix a crash with zero SPA_PARAM_BUFFERS_size
|
|
|
|
- Device support
|
|
- v4l2-source will now respect the requested memory types.
|
|
- ALSA buffering has been tweaked. USB devices should have
|
|
less XRuns by default. Parameters can be tweaked to
|
|
decrease the latency on capable devices. Also fix a case
|
|
where a quantum change would cause an xrun.
|
|
- Fix mute in bluetooth devices
|
|
- bluetooth devices are not paused in idle anymore for
|
|
improved compatibility.
|
|
- Codec switching for bluetooth is implemented along with
|
|
config options to select the codecs manually.
|
|
- HSP for bluetooth is now disabled by default. Most devices
|
|
support the newer HFP profile and some devices fail when
|
|
both are available.
|
|
- Reduce the amount of events the ALSA plugins emit by bundling
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
- PulseAudio server
|
|
- Implement the suspend command
|
|
- Fixes volume in sample info
|
|
- Fix playback of samples, sometimes samples would be clipped
|
|
short. Also implement the target sink for the sample.
|
|
- Use rate match to feed samples. This way the latency can
|
|
be kept to a minimum.
|
|
- Latency has been tuned some more, more closely emulating
|
|
pulseaudio behaviour.
|
|
- Improve default sink/source handling. Make sure all events
|
|
are sent correctly when defaults change.
|
|
- Handle underrun better without causing sync issues. Make sure
|
|
to pause in corked state.

current cycle. When using this feature, a stream can
|
|
achieve the same low-latency as pw-filter.
|
|
- spa-acp-tool can now load a custom profile-set and
|
|
correctly parses the volume updates
|
|
- There is now a nofail option when loading modules

|
|
- Fix debug of id in format channels
|
|
- Audioconvert should now remap channels correctly in all
|
|
cases.

|
|
- Small improvements to the profiler to also log incomplete
|
|
graph status.
|
|
- a new tool pw-top was added that prints real-time performance
|
|
stats of the graph.
|
|
- the rtkit module now sets the nice level to -11
|
|
|
|
- Session-manager
|
|
- The session manager would sometimes link dont-reconnect
|
|
nodes to another node, which would leak monitor streams in
|
|
pipewire-pulse.
|
|
- The session manager now has configuration files. Config files
|
|
can also be placed in the user home directory to make custom

PipeWire 0.3.18
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- Highlights
|
|
- More work in the PulseAudio server. It should be compatible
|
|
with more applications.
|
|
- Bluetooth now support extra codecs such as AptX/HD and LDAC.
|
|
- Support for virtual sources and sink was improved a lot.
|
|

|
|
|
|
- PipeWire improvements
|
|
- Silence some harmless warnings
|
|
- pw-cli can now be used to set parameters.
|
|
- Streams now perform the correct channel mapping when linked
|
|
to non-standard multichannel devices. Previously channels
|
|
would get swapped.
|
|
- port, node and device params are now cached in the server.
|
|
This avoids opening and closing devices whenever some client
|
|
enumerates formats, which improves performance a lot,
|
|
especially in cases where opening a device is slow.
|
|
- Add a command to keep a device open during negotiation. This
|
|
is used to enumerate and set a format while opening the
|
|
device just once, improving performance.
|
|
- The null-sink scheduling was fixed.
|
|
- A memory corruption bug was fixed in format conversion, this
|
|
could cause crashes, silent channels or other undefined
|
|
behaviour.
|
|
- There is now a simple JSON parser.
|
|
|
|
- Session-manager
|
|
- Settings files are now stored in JSON. With the json parser
|
|
this is easier to parse and extend
|
|
|
|
- Device support
|
|
- Bluetooth now supports additional codecs: LDAC, AptX and
|
|
AptX HD. LDAC is known to not work very well yet.
|
|
- ALSA devices will now default to the max supported channels
|
|
if nothing else is specified. This makes it possible to use
|
|
8+ channel cards with the alsa-pcm module, which is not
|
|
supported with the default alsa-acp module.
|
|
- Enable mSBC support in oFono.
|
|
- Add an option to disable hardware mixers
|
|
- ALSA now improves support for batch devices.
|
|

|
|
to not create conflicts.
|
|
- Fix a potential crash in bluetooth devices when
|
|
disconnecting.
|
|
- UCM cards now use HW volume when possible.
|
|
|
|
- PulseAudio server
|
|
- The id can now be used as the name to locate cards and
|
|
devices
|
|
- Report streams with planar formats as well
|
|
- Better error reporting when stream create fails
|
|
- module-null-sink can now handle channels, rate and
|
|
channel_map properties
|
|
- Add support for 3 types of virtual devices: source,
|
|
sink and duplex.
|
|
- set-port was fixed
|
|
- Some buffer parameters were tweaked to improve
|
|
performance, compatibility and stuttering with lower
|
|
latency.
|
|
- NULL can be used as a name for the device sink/source
|
|
- Support lookup of monitor names
|
|
- Set properties more like pulseaudio so that some
|
|
clients (Teamspeak) don't crash anymore
|
|
|
|
PipeWire 0.3.17
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- Highlights
|
|
- Fix crasher bug for kwin when screensharing stopped.
|
|
- Massive improvements and compatibility fixes in the
|
|
PulseAudio server.
|
|
- The session manager now has a config directory in
|
|
/etc/pipewire/media-session.d/ It will look for files there
|
|
to activate session manager modules. Packagers can use
|
|
this to only activate the audio modules when the PulseAudio
|
|
server, libjack.so or the alsa modules are installed.
|
|
|
|
- PipeWire improvements
|
|
- We now clear hooks before adding them. Some application
|
|
did not clear them and had random data for the destroy
|
|
callback.
|
|
- Return -ENOENT from unknown resources so apps can handle
|
|
this better. It's a common problem when an app tries to
|
|
introspect and object but it disappeared before the message
|
|
reached the server. Apps should ignore this.
|
|
- channelmap information is now passed with the volume
|
|
settings.
|
|
- DMABuf is not mmapp()ed anymore with the FLAG_MAP_BUFFERS in
|
|
the stream or filter. This is because DMABuf usually
|
|
requires more that just a simple mmap and is better left
|
|
for the application.
|
|
- increase the maximum number of ports for a client-node.
|
|
- adapter and node-factory now support the linger option to
|
|
keep the objects alive after the creating client disconnected.
|
|
|
|
- Device support
|
|
- ALSA now handles error in close(), like when unplugging a
|
|
USB device.
|
|
|
|
- Session-manager
|
|
- The session manager is now handling DONT_RECONNECT streams
|
|
without a target node. They get connected to a default node
|
|
once and then fail to reconnect.
|
|
- The session manager now exposes the stream setting as
|
|
metadata. This makes it possible for other components, such
|
|
as pulse-server to use this information. Information is stored
|
|
as a json object for easier consumption.
|
|
- The session manager now has a config directory in
|
|
/etc/pipewire/media-session.d/ packagers can use this
|
|
|
|
- PulseAudio server
|
|
- Pulse server now acquire the dbus name.
|
|
- Improvements in timing and compatibility with many apps.
|
|
- The stream-restore extension is now implemented so that
|
|
the event volume can be configured.
|
|
- Many stability fixes and improvements.
|
|
- Fix some issues with module-load/unload
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Fix screensharing for old 0.2 clients
|
|
- Many pulse-server improvements. There is now a
|
|
pipewire-pulse binary that is the prefered solution for
|
|
PulseAudio compatibility. The replacement libpulse
|
|
libraries are now deprecated. This also makes audio in
|
|
Flatpak work.
|
|
|
|
- PipeWire improvements
|
|
- Fix cleanup of listeners everywhere. Force remove of
|
|
listeners in _destroy to avoid crashes.
|
|
- Add support for a journald logger module.
|
|
- Various memory leak fixes
|
|

|
- Various FreeBSD fixes and improvements.
|
|
- Fix some crashes when destroying objects.
|
|
|
|
- Device support
|
|
- Reload the ALSA configuration when creating a node so that
|
|
hotplugged devices work in all cases.
|
|
- Fix memory leaks in ACP library. This also fixes issues
|
|
where the mixer device was not closed.
|
|
- Bluetooth now has support for the mSBC codec for SCO
|
|
source and sink.
|
|
|
|
- pulse-server
|
|
- Many introspection and compatibility improvements. It should
|
|
now be as good or better than the replacement library.
|
|
- Implement sample cache to make notification events work.
|
|
|
|
- JACK layer
|
|
- handle errors when linking, fixes jack_connect hang when
|
|
the ports were already linked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PipeWire 0.3.15
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- Highlights
|
|
- This is a quick update to fix critical issues with the
|
|
0.3.14 update, which broke screen sharing and accidentally
|
|
enabled the experimental pulse-server.
|
|
- Fix some compatibility issues in pulse-server with
|
|
pavucontrol and fix an issue that would block the complete
|
|
server.
|
|
|
|
- PipeWire improvements
|
|
- Permission checks for new clients are now done from a
|
|
global context, which makes it possible to assign initial
|
|
permissions to objects.
|
|
- Handle EINTR everywhere
|
|
- Fix an issue with the node state changes where a quick
|
|
pause/play would hang a client.
|
|
|
|
- Session manager improvements
|
|
- Disable the bluez5 and pulse-bridge modules by default because
|
|
they interfere with pulseaudio. These options should only be
|
|
enabled if pulseaudio is removed or disabled in the system.
|
|
- Fix an issue where the session manager could end up in
|
|
infinite recursion while scanning for things to do.
|
|
- The session manager will now always configure nodes to remix
|
|
to the channel configuration of the device. This fixes the case
|
|
where mono streams would only end up on one channel of a stereo
|
|
device.
|
|
|
|
- Device support
|
|
- Initial merge of A2DP extra codec support using the new bluez5
|
|
API.
|
|
|
|
- pulse-server
|
|
- Create the runtime directory when it doesn't exist.
|
|
- Don't ever block the server, use non-blocking IO everywhere.
|
|
- Fill description of profiles with the name if not otherwise set,
|
|
this fixes a crash in pavucontrol.
|
|
- the connection debug catergory will now also debug pulse
|
|
messages.
|
|
- Respect the no_remix flag to make the control panel channel
|
|
check work.
|
|
|
|
- ALSA plugin
|
|
- implement pause

PipeWire 0.3.14
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- Highlights
|
|
- This release focuses on bugfixes and stability
|
|
improvements.
|
|
- A new experimental pulse-server module was added. This
|
|
module implements the pulseaudio protocol on top of
|
|
PipeWire and can be used to make flatpaks work with
|
|
PipeWire. It looks like this might be a better way
|
|
forward compared to the libpulse.so replacement library.
|
|
- A2DP bluetooth was reworked. Playback should work a lot
|
|
better now. Support was also added to automatically link
|
|
an A2DP source to a playback device, which makes it possible
|
|
to use PipeWire as a bluetooth receiver as well.
|
|
- Improvements to the routing and volume restore features
|
|
of the session manager.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- PipeWire improvements
|
|
- The channelmixer does not normalize volumes anymore. Volumes
|
|
are only normalized for monitoring streams now.
|
|
- Streams can actually start in the inactive state now.
|
|
- The channelmixer can now also convert volume updates from one
|
|
channel layout to another. This makes saved volumes work
|
|
even when streams have different channel layouts.
|
|
- Clients are only registered after the properties have been
|
|
updated.
|
|
- Links now have a new active state.
|
|
- Drivers can now also specify a minimum quantum. This makes it
|
|
possible for bluetooth devices to specify an optimum quantum
|
|
for the given codec settings and MTU.
|
|
- The amount of data sent over the socket was reduced by only
|
|
sending the data that changed.
|
|
- Client objects are now exposed after they uploaded their
|
|
properties, which makes the new object more useful.
|
|
|
|
- Tools improvements
|
|
- pw-cat will now add metadata to the PipeWire streams.
|
|
|
|
- Session manager improvements
|
|
- Fix crashes when reading bad data in stored settings.
|
|
- volume and routing is improved. Settings are now remembered
|
|
per application or media-role.
|
|
- The session manager remembers the last device used per stream
|
|
- Fix a bug when moving streams where it could sometimes end
|
|
up with linking a stream to multiple devices.
|
|
- Use RTKit to set realtime priority on the data thread in the
|
|
session manager. This improves performance of the pulse-server
|
|
and bluetooth devices.
|
|
- Add a new property to mark streams that want to capture from
|
|
the monitor of the default sink.
|
|
- NODE_TARGET can now also contain the node name. This avoids
|
|
some lookups in the pulseaudio layer when selecting target
|
|
nodes by name.
|
|
- the -e and -d options are more usable now and can be used to
|
|
add and remove modules from the default list of modules.
|
|
|
|
- Device support
|
|
- v4l2: add some workarounds for buggy drivers. Add Limited
|
|
support for droidcam.
|
|
- ACP: improve selection of default port and profiles.
|
|
- ACP: add support for using the hardware mixer for more than
|
|
8 channel streams.
|
|
- ACP: support the new port type and availability group found
|
|
in PulseAudio.
|
|
- A2DP bluetooth timings were reworked. Automatic linking of
|
|
A2DP sources was added to make it possible for PipeWire to
|
|
act as a bluetooth receiver. The code was reworked to allow
|
|
other codecs such as APTX and LDAC in the future.
|
|
- Try harder to recover from ALSA errors.
|
|
|
|
- GStreamer improvements
|
|
- Fix some crashes in the monitor that cause
|
|
gnome-initial-setup to crash.
|
|
|
|
- PulseAudio layer improvements
|
|
- Many compatibility improvements. Improved playback in
|
|
chrome. Fix a crash in firefox when the daemon is stopped.
|
|
- Fix a leak in the formats.
|
|
- Fix !ADJUST_LATENCY streams like paplay.
|
|
- Make the device option in paplay work.
|
|
- Fix volume/mute notifications, this makes plasma volume updates
|
|
work again.
|
|
- Do the conversion between PulseAudio cubic volumes and PipeWire
|
|
linear volumes. Volume levels should behave now like they did
|
|
with PulseAudio.
|
|
|
|
- JACK layer improvements
|
|
- Return an error when we run out of midi events. Some application
|
|
rely on this behaviour.
|
|
|
|
- ALSA plugin improvements
|
|
- The ALSA plugin now also supports the node name in the
|
|
playback_node and capture_node properties.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PipeWire 0.3.13
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- PipeWire improvements
|
|
- Add pw-reserve tool to reserve or monitor a device on DBus.
|
|
- Install spa-resample, a tool to resample a file.
|
|
- Install spa-acp-tool, a tool to inspect the card profile.
|
|
- Various fixes and improvements
|
|
- Fix a bug in pw-stream where a capture stream could run out
|
|
of buffers and become silent.
|
|
- Rework the processing loops in the adapter and stream. There
|
|
is now less latency in PulseAudio and ALSA layers.
|
|
|
|
- Session manager improvements
|
|
- Improve the device reservation code. We now try to acquire
|
|
the device using the dbus device reservation API before we
|
|
probe the device. This avoids conflicts with a running
|
|
PulseAudio where devices would disappear (because they were
|
|
locked by the other process).
|
|
- Don't fail on invalid input from the config files.
|
|
- Audio devices now have the same name as what PulseAudio
|
|
would assign.
|
|
|
|
- Device support
|
|
- v4l2: try to use the format before enumerating the size and
|
|
framerate. Some drivers don't check the format and might now
|
|
work better.
|
|
- v4l2: Fall back to MMAP when EXPBUF fails. Fix MMAP access,
|
|
just export the fd and the mapoffset. This should make more
|
|
devices work.
|
|
- Fix crash in ALSA Card Profile (ACP) code.
|
|
- ACP: fix selection of default profile. Prefer any possibly
|
|
available profile over 'Off'. This makes some card at least
|
|
start with something.
|
|
- Fix soft volume. After setting the volume to 0, it would stay
|
|
at 0 until pushed over the max volume. This should fix
|
|
various volume related issues.
|
|
|
|
- PulseAudio layer improvements
|
|
- Rework the buffering and latency measurements and tweak the
|
|
buffer attributes. This should make browsers and media
|
|
players work better. This should also improve speechd
|
|
performance.
|
|
|
|
- JACK layer improvements
|
|
- Fix compilation against newer JACK.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PipeWire 0.3.12
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- PipeWire improvements
|
|
* the channelmap converter now handles unknown and strange
|
|
channellayouts much better.
|
|
* the resampler is now cleared correctly, avoiding clicks and
|
|
pops at the start of sound.
|
|
* Fixes for various crasher bugs. (paplay drain, vlc shutdown,
|
|
pactl info, ...)
|
|
* Fix a race condition in the node state changes that caused
|
|
all kinds of sync and other issues (vlc, mpv, ...)
|
|
* Improve the binary name property of applications
|
|
* Fix the scheduling again of nodes that always need a driver
|
|
such as the jack clients.
|
|
|
|
- Session manager improvements
|
|
* fix routing to default nodes. Sometimes nodes were not routed to
|
|
the default node (bluetooth)
|
|
|
|
- Device support
|
|
* disable channelmap from ALSA by default. This is what PulseAudio
|
|
does and thus provides better compatibility.
|
|
* fix a bug in how the resampler was used in the ALSA source,
|
|
causing distortion and errors when using low latency capture
|
|
clients. (Discord, webrtc, ...)
|
|
* Small bluetooth improvements. More work is needed for reliable
|
|
bluetooth playback.
|
|
|
|
- GStreamer plugins
|
|
* the device provider now stops the processing loop before shutting
|
|
down, which avoids crashes (gnome-initial-setup).
|
|
|
|
- PulseAudio layer improvements
|
|
* the buffer attributes were reworked to ensure compatibility with
|
|
many more applications such as mpv and audacious.
|
|
* the pulseaudio layer will now try hard to not hand out invalid
|
|
channel maps to the application. (avoids crashes in
|
|
gnome-volume-control). The channel map will now also look more
|
|
like what PulseAudio does.
|
|
* the @DEFAULT_SINK/SOURCE/MONITOR@ wildcards now work. This
|
|
fixes the problem with volume keys when they are bound to
|
|
scripts using pactl and the default sink/source wildcards.
|
|
* the PIPEWIRE_LATENCY environment variable now works again
|
|
* Fix some leaks of ports and port info. Also fix the leak of the
|
|
context when the mainloop is stopped.
|
|
* The sink/source format_info array is now filled up completely,
|
|
this is actually not implemented yet in the real PulseAudio.
|
|
|
|
- JACK layer improvements
|
|
* jack now returns version 3.0.0 and has PipeWire in the version
|
|
string so that apps can report this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PipeWire 0.3.11
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- PipeWire improvements
|
|
* Properly cleanup the mixer structures when a port is removed,
|
|
this should fix client crashes related to port config changes
|
|
and other random crashes.
|
|
* Optimize the preferred formats in the audio converter. Higher
|
|
quality formats with higher performance are chosen first.
|
|
* Make sure the time reported by pw_stream is always increasing,
|
|
even when the driver and clock changes.
|
|
* There is now also a system service and socket that can be used
|
|
to enable PipeWire systemwide. This is however not recommended
|
|
and disabled by default.
|
|
* Fix channelmixer 5.1 to stereo mix matrix. It was not reading
|
|
the conversion matrix correctly and cause channels to be
|
|
dropped. The channelmixer will now also normalize the volume,
|
|
like what pulseaudio does.
|
|
* The channelmixer will now just copy channels when no layout
|
|
has been given. It has also optimized paths for this. This
|
|
makes it possible for apps to request > 8 channels from the
|
|
alsa plugin (ardour).
|
|
* Port, Node and Link will now also emit an error on the
|
|
resources in addition to updating the error in the info. This
|
|
would make it easier to track negotiation errors in the session
|
|
manager later.
|
|
* many small fixes and cleanups.
|
|
* Fix compatibility:
|
|
+ DOSBox: fix crash because of double free in pw_stream
|
|
|
|
- Session manager improvements
|
|
* The session manager will now try to configure the client to
|
|
the channel configuration of the sink/source. It will only
|
|
do this for downmixing, never for upmixing and also never
|
|
when the client has the dont-remix property set. It will
|
|
also renegotiate the channel layout when moving a stream to
|
|
a new sink/source.
|
|
* Configuration state is now saved in XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
|
|
Previously it was saved in $HOME/.pipewire-media-session/
|
|
You can migrate the state by moving the files to
|
|
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pipewire-media-session (or
|
|
$HOME/.config/pipewire-media-session as a fallback when
|
|
XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set).
|
|
|
|
- Device support
|
|
* Bluetooth sources and sinks should work better now.
|
|
* There is now also a new bluetooth backend using hsphfpd.
|
|
* fix the ALSA UCM Off profile for alsa pcm devices
|
|
* improve ALSA port and profile switching. The ACP device will
|
|
now switch to the best port and profile when availability
|
|
changes.
|
|
|
|
- PulseAudio layer improvements
|
|
* Implement some more callbacks. The pulse layer will now also
|
|
notify applications of stream moved, started and latency
|
|
changes.
|
|
* Fix error code when an object was not found. We now return
|
|
PA_ERR_NOENTITY instead of PA_ERR_INVALID.
|
|
* Add some support for loading new null sinks. Applications such
|
|
as pulseeffects use this. Note that pulseeffects does not yet
|
|
work reliably but can start now.
|
|
* Improve handling of profile and port updates, it should work
|
|
much more reliable now. Apps should now also again receive
|
|
volume updates from sinks/sources.
|
|
* Fix compatibility:
|
|
+ openal-soft 1.20
|
|
+ pavucontrol (checks PA_ERR_NOENTITY)
|
|
|
|
- JACK layer improvements
|
|
* improve default source and sink handling. It was not updated
|
|
correctly in all cases.
|
|
* add samplerate and period to the pw-jack wrapper to easily
|
|
configure the desired samplerate and perdiod for the app.
|
|
|
|
- ALSA plugin improvements
|
|
* Add a mixer entry in the alsa config file.
|
|
* Implement support for planar types, rework the processing
|
|
function to make it more robust.
|
|
* refuse to load the alsa plugin when linked against 0.2. This
|
|
catches some old apps linked against 0.2 that want to use the
|
|
alsa plugin.
|
|
* Fix compatibility:
|
|
+ linphone (ALSA SIGFPE when _status() is called
|
|
before _prepare()).
|
|
|
|
PipeWire 0.3.10
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- Many improvements to the pulse layer.
|
|
* GStreamer pulsesink element now works.
|
|
* Fixes some segfaults.
|
|
* Enable rtkit for client threads.
|
|
* fixes capture of monitor stream by name
|
|
* implement some more extensions, this makes paman
|
|
work and removes some warnings.
|
|
|
|
- Many improvements to the GStreamer elements
|
|
* negotiation rework, avoid calling GStreamer methods from
|
|
the PipeWire callbacks because they might block and cause
|
|
deadlocks.
|
|
* Add support for non-string property values.
|
|
* improve stability after buffer and format
|
|
renegotiation.
|
|
* Rework the device provider.
|
|
* pipewiresink can now provide a stream that can
|
|
be consumed by apps like cheese.
|
|
|
|
- Many improvements to the JACK layer:
|
|
* Rework the buffer_size callbacks. Make sure we call
|
|
the callback from a 'safe' thread and that we don't
|
|
call the process callback while the application is
|
|
handling the callback. This improves stability in
|
|
apps like Carla when PipeWire dynamically changes
|
|
the buffer size.
|
|
* Improve compatibility with apps that call
|
|
get_buffer_frames() with a 0 size (calfjackrack)
|
|
* JACK can now create nodes that can be set as a
|
|
sink/source in PulseAudio/ALSA apps (you can make an
|
|
effects rack and set that as default sink for
|
|
apps).
|
|
|
|
- Added a group id property for nodes. This makes it
|
|
possible to schedule nodes with the same driver even
|
|
when they are otherwise not linked together. To make
|
|
this work well a new flag needed to be added to nodes
|
|
to signal when they are ready for processing.
|
|
|
|
Together with the GStreamer fixes, this makes things
|
|
like:
|
|
|
|
gst-launch-1.0 -v pipewiresrc path=51 stream-properties="props,node.group=1" !
|
|
audio/x-raw ! pipewiresink stream-properties="props,node.group=1"
|
|
|
|
work as expected with PipeWire managing the resampling
|
|
to keep the clocks of the devices in sync.
|
|
|
|
This can later also be used to force devices to be grouped
|
|
together to create a JACK-like scheduling group.
|
|
|
|
- Streams and filter now use PIPEWIRE_NODE and
|
|
PIPEWIRE_LATENCY env variables as fallback.
|
|
|
|
- ACP add per device port list. This makes UCM devices
|
|
expose the right ports.
|
|
|
|
- Fix some segfaults in ACP and UCM.
|
|
|
|
- make pw-cat use the metadata to find default devices.
|
|
|
|
- The media session can now save and load audio device
|
|
Profiles and Routes (volumes), stream volumes and
|
|
the default sink and sources.
|
|
|
|
PipeWire 0.3.9
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- Fix bad audio in chrome
|
|
|
|
- Remove some errors that are not real errors.
|
|
|
|
- Fix 100% cpu when disconnecting devices.
|
|
|
|
- Improve pulseaudio introspection of formats
|
|
|
|
- Fix JACK metadata handling, carla can now monitor the
|
|
port it creates and insert midi.
|
|
|
|
- Add a new permission bit (M) that is needed to be able
|
|
to configure metadata on an object. Improve security of
|
|
metadata some more, only allow metadata on objects that
|
|
are visible to the client setting the metadata.
|
|
|
|
- Add support for videocrop in the GStreamer elements.
|
|
|
|
- Improve handling of the runtime directory for the
|
|
server sockets. Add some reasonable fallback when
|
|
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set, as suggested in the spec.
|
|
|
|
- Improve ALSA device names from ACP.
|
|
|
|
- Fix various crasher bugs. One in the pulse layer, one in
|
|
the session manager.
|
|
|
|
- Make alsa plugin respect the PIPEWIRE_REMOTE env variable.
|
|
|
|
- Various compile fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PipeWire 0.3.8
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- Fix an embarrassing crasher in the JACK layer when
|
|
metadata keys were removed.
|
|
|
|
- Make it possible to add properties to jack clients with
|
|
a PIPEWIRE_PROPS env variable. This can be used to make
|
|
JACK nodes look like a device (like an effects rack).
|
|
|
|
- Improvements in the session manager in how it links
|
|
ports. Now it will try to link matching channels first
|
|
and be more intelligent otherwise. The session manager
|
|
will also configure the stream to the device port
|
|
configuration when needed.
|
|
|
|
- Add ofono backend for Bluetooth HeadSet support.
|
|
|
|
- Improve default source and sink handling. They are now
|
|
stored with their id, instead of name, in the metadata.
|
|
This makes it work better with JACK because of JACK's
|
|
limited name length.
|
|
|
|
- Improve environment variables to make it possible to
|
|
create and connect to servers other than "pipewire-0".
|
|
Implement this in pulseaudio, JACK and alsa layers.
|
|
|
|
- Add an alsa mixer plugin so that alsamixer works with
|
|
PipeWire. It will configure the default source/sink
|
|
volumes.
|
|
|
|
- Fix capture devices. There was something wrong with how
|
|
the resampler was used that caused corruption in the
|
|
signal when the resampler was active.
|
|
|
|
- We now ship alsa card paths, profile-sets configuration
|
|
files and udev rules so that we don't have to rely on
|
|
the pulseaudio ones.
|
|
|
|
- Many build and stability fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PipeWire 0.3.7
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- Improved PulseAudio compatibility. The alsa card profile
|
|
code was reused from PulseAudio. Devices now support
|
|
all profiles, ports, jack detection, UCM and hardware
|
|
mixers that PulseAudio implements. There should not
|
|
be (almost) any difference between PipeWire and PulseAudio
|
|
in how it presents and manages devices.
|
|
Other missing API pieces such as the default sink/source
|
|
and move_stream are implemented now. At this point
|
|
it should be possible to replace PulseAudio with the
|
|
compatibility layer for those who want to try.
|
|
|
|
- Many fixes and improvements to the GStreamer elements.
|
|
pipewiresrc now has the ability to periodically resend
|
|
the last frame. This makes it possible for use-cases like
|
|
screensharing to only update the screen on changes while
|
|
still keeping the client side encoder busy. PipeWire
|
|
elements can now also share a connection between them.
|
|
|
|
- Improvements to the bluetooth nodes. Dynamically adding
|
|
and removing devices should work much smoother now. Many
|
|
fixes and improvements to a2dp and sco nodes.
|
|
|
|
- Reduced memory usage by using less pre-allocated memory
|
|
where possible. JACK clients are especially using less
|
|
memory.
|
|
|
|
- Support for passive links is added again. These are links
|
|
that don't cause the associated driver to become active.
|
|
This makes it possible to have blocks of effects+sinks go
|
|
to suspend as a group when not in use.
|
|
|
|
- Both consumers and producers can now ask to renegotiate
|
|
the format. This required some cleanups and improvements
|
|
to how links and node states were handled. More work is
|
|
needed to implement more use cases.
|
|
|
|
- Important fixes to how memory is shared with clients. Memory
|
|
was not correctly freed in all cases, which would result
|
|
in reuse of the wrong memory.
|
|
|
|
- Support for planar formats for audio and video was added.
|
|
|
|
- Improved error handling in the session manager.
|
|
|
|
- Metadata is now used to manage default audio source and
|
|
sink devices. The session manager will try to link streams
|
|
to the default device. Changing the default device will
|
|
move streams to the new device. PulseAudio and JACK layers
|
|
respect the default source/sinks.
|
|
|
|
- Metadata is used to tag the desired output device for
|
|
a stream and the session manager will move streams when
|
|
the metadata changes. The PulseAudio layer uses this to
|
|
implement the move_stream feature.
|
|
|
|
- Many fixes to the security modules. The session manager now
|
|
has a flatpak module that grants permissions to flatpak
|
|
apps. The PulseAudio layer now respects the permissions of
|
|
objects. Security related properties are made read-only
|
|
now. Different access modules can now coexist.
|
|
|
|
- The portal module has been split up in 2 parts:
|
|
1) a part living in the daemon that monitors the portal
|
|
dbus owner and tags all clients from this PID. This
|
|
part has to run in the daemon in order to securely
|
|
tag the clients.
|
|
2) a part in the session manager that uses the permission
|
|
store to manage the permissions of portal managed
|
|
clients.

PipeWire 0.3.6
|
|

PipeWire 0.3.2
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- build fixes
|
|

possible for a client to say that it can handle DMABuf
|
|
and MemFd and then let the server select a compatible
|
|
format.
|
|
- Handle errors when enumerating parameters better.
|
|
- Add support for rate, format, channels and period_bytes
|
|
to the alsa config file to restrict what alsa apps can
|
|
negotiate.
|
|
- Fix JACK midi output.
|
|
- Optimizations in common audio format conversions using
|
|
AVX2. Small optimizations to plugins.
|
|
- Change the vulkan compute example to an MIT licensed
|
|
shader.
|
|

|
|
processing and use the values from the processing
|
|
context. This also fixes the vulkan example.
|
|
- Correct the documentation and defaults in the daemon
|
|
config file.
|
|
- Fix alsa and v4l2 buffer recycle. A paused client could
|
|
cause the server to leak all buffers.
|
|
- Remove some warnings that should be ignored.
|
|
- Fix a crash in the bluez5 plugins.
|
|
- Try to select higher quality formats first when
|
|
negotiating a format with an audio device.

|
|
- Add non-interactive mode to pw-cli. You can now just
|
|
do "pw-cli ls Port" to get a listing of all ports.
|
|
pw-cli will now also connect to the default server by
|
|
default and has options to select a different server.
|
|
- Allow the server to go up to the maximum quantum (8192
|
|
samples or ~=180ms) if a client explicitly wants this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PipeWire 0.3.1
|
|
|
|
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
|
|
with previous 0.3.x releases.
|
|
|
|
- Don't load the rtkit module by default. It can cause a
|
|
sigkill, which is not desirable for mutter, for example.
|
|
Only enable this for the jack library for now.
|
|
- Don't use pthread cancel by default because it uses a
|
|
signal that might crash some apps. Only use it for
|
|
the jack library because jack clients really expect this.
|
|
- Build fixes for -Werror=suggest-attribute=format
|
|
- improve error messages, don't report harmless errors and
|
|
warnings. Try to send error messages to the proxy that
|
|
started the operation or is the owner of the object.
|
|
- pw-cat: midi improvement, add midi recording and dump
|
|
in verbose mode
|
|
- fix properties when loading spa-nodes from the config
|
|
- Fix and update some examples
|
|
- jack: check arguments and don't crash when invalid
|
|
- Fix buffer memory upload.
|
|
- jack: fix compatibility with zrythm. Fix timemaster
|
|
install, improve sample_rate callback. Fix reposition
|
|
handling.

|
- add support for control ports in pw_filter
|
|
- fix cleanup of the metadata module
|
|

|
|
- Add create-object command in the config file to create
|
|
object from a factory.
|
|
- Fix crash after the driver was not removed from unassigned
|
|
nodes. Also properly pause inactive nodes.
|
|
- Use "true" and "false" in properties when we are talking
|
|
about a boolean.
|
|
- pulseaudio: improve compatibility
|
|
|

PipeWire 0.3.0
|
|
|
|
The 0.3 release is a major milestone in the development of
|
|
PipeWire. It features a complete redesign of the scheduling
|
|
mechanisms that make it possible to run a JACK compatibility
|
|
layer with comparable performance to JACK2.
|
|
|
|
The API has been reworked and is declared stable now. All
|
|
development files and runtime paths are versioned so that
|
|
future incompatible changes can be done without breaking
|
|
existing applications.
|
|
|
|
PipeWire 0.3 also includes a (now mandatory) session manager
|
|
that populates and controls the PipeWire graph. This example
|
|
session manager is very simple and not configurable. It is
|
|
expected that future version will either switch to a more
|
|
flexible session manager (like WirePlumber) or improve the
|
|
configuration options of the example session manager.
|
|
|
|
PipeWire 0.3 includes both PulseAudio, JACK and ALSA
|
|
compatibility libraries that are known to support a wide range
|
|
of applications. The ALSA library is pretty complete at this
|
|
point. The JACK and mostly the PulseAudio compatibility
|
|
libraries need more work. See the Wiki pages for the current
|
|
compatibility problems. We do not yet encourage people to
|
|
switch away from their existing audio solutions (PulseAudio
|
|
or JACK) but we would love to hear from people who try it
|
|
anyways. Future versions will mostly focus on improving
|
|
compatibility further to make PipeWire a drop-in replacement.
|
|
|
|
PipeWire comes with some GStreamer plugins to consume and
|
|
produce data for PipeWire. The consumer (pipewiresrc) is
|
|
working well in most cases. The sink (pipewiresink) is known
|
|
to be somewhat problematic for now.
|
