This is based on a patch by Rolo <rolo@wildfish.com> that replaced the
old ID with the new one. I deemed it better to leave the old ID in use
(I can't verify if the old ID was correct or not).
The original commit message:
Every time I reinstall or update Ubuntu I have to make this change
to get it to recognise my Native Instruments Traktor Audio 6
external soundcard.
Each time I remember the change by hunting down this forum post in
German,
https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/traktor-audio-6-erkannt-aber-nicht-anwaehlbar/3/#post-8759808
(I don't speak German).
I'm not sure if the ID is just incorrect or if perhaps the hardware
identifies itself differently on slightly different models, so
perhaps we need to duplicate the line - I'm well outside of my
comfort zone here and I know barely anything about how hardware
works on Linux but figured if it helps me it would help others so I
should put it forward.
Thanks!
The Intel HDMI LPE driver works in a peculiar way when the HDMI cable is
not plugged in: any written audio is immediately discarded and underrun
is reported. That resulted in an infinite loop, because PulseAudio tried
to keep the buffer filled, which was futile since the written audio was
immediately consumed/discarded.
This patch adds special handling for the LPE driver: if the active port
of the sink is unavailable, the sink suspends itself. A new suspend
cause is added: PA_SUSPEND_UNAVAILABLE.

This removes the symdef header generation m4 magic in favour of a
simpler macro method, allowing us to skip one unnecessary build step
while moving to meson, and removing an 11 year old todo!
In proces(), the do_move() function calls pa_{sink_input,source_output}_set_property().
This triggers a call to {sink_input,source_output}_proplist_cb() which called process()
a second time.
This patch avoids the duplicate and nested call to process() by checking if
PA_PROP_FILTER_APPLY_MOVING is set in {sink_input,source_output}_proplist_cb().
This patch adds a sink_input_properties argument to module-ladspa-sink,
which can be helpful for customizing the appearance of the sink input in
various volume control applications, or to differentiate between
multiple instances of the module.
module-switch-on-connect would switch to any new sink, even if the sink
was a filter or a null-sink.
This patch adds a command line option ignore_virtual to the module, which
lets module-switch-on-connect ignore virtual sinks and sources. The flag
is true by default because the purpose of the module is to switch to new
hardware when it becomes available.
module-device-manager doesn't change the routing of those streams that
have been explicitly routed by the user, which is good. Similarly, it
should leave those streams alone whose routing was decided by the
application that created the stream. This patch implements that.
BugLink: https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects/issues/99
When a stream is created, and the stream creator specifies which device
should be used, that can affect automatic routing policies.
Specifically, module-device-manager shouldn't apply its priority list
routing when a stream has been routed by the application that created
the stream.
A stream that was initially routed by the application may be moved for
some valid reason (e.g. user requesting a move, or the original device
disappearing). When the stream is moved away from its initial device,
the "device requested by application" flag isn't relevant any more, so
it's set to false and never reset to true again.
The change in module-device-manager's routing logic will be done in the
following patch.
The filter sources should have the same max_rewind as the master source,
but these modules didn't update max_rewind when the master max_rewind
changed.
Previously max_rewind was always set to the full hw buffer size, but
the actual maximum rewind amount is limited to the part of the hw buffer
that is in use.
The rewind request that was done when lowering the sink latency had to
be moved to happen before updating max_rewind.
The practical benefit of this change: When using a filter source on a
monitor source, the filter source latency is increased by max_rewind.
Without this change the max_rewind of an alsa sink is often
unnecessarily high, which leads to unnecessarily high latency with
filter sources.
Monitor sources themselves don't suffer from the latency issue, because
they use the current sink latency instead of max_rewind for the extra
buffer that they keep to deal with rewinds.
This rejigs the update_rate() logic to encompass changes to the sample
spec as a whole, as well as passthrough status. As a result,
sinks/sources provide a reconfigure() method which allows
reconfiguration as required.
The behaviour itself is currently unchanged -- alsa-sink/-source do not
actually implement anything other than rate updates for now (nor are
they ever requested to). This can be modified in the future, to allow,
for example 24-bit output when incoming media supports it, as well as
channel count changes for passthrough sinks.
Another related change is that passthrough status is now part of
sink/source reconfiguration, and we can stop doing a suspend/unsuspend
when entering/leaving passthrough state. So that part is now divided
in two -- pa_sink_reconfigure() sets the sink in passthrough mode if
required, and pa_sink_enter_passthrough() sets up everything else
(this currently means only volumes, but could disable other processing)
for passthrough mode.
The configured adjust time does not match exactly the real adjust time. Also
the adjust time varies. To improve latency estimation use an average of the
measured adjust times instead of the configured value in all calculations.
Since HSP had higher priority than A2DP, the default profile when
connecting a new headset was HSP. To me it makes more sense to default
to high-quality output. We already have some automatic policies to
switch to HSP when it's needed.
I also made the A2DP source and HSP/HFP gateway profiles have lower
priority than the A2DP sink and HSP headset profiles. The A2DP source
and HSP/HFP gateway profiles should only be activated if the remote
device initiates audio streaming, so it makes sense to have lower
priority for those profiles.

This reverts commit ca63fbc1d8.
I applied the patch too hastily. force-speaker.conf is supposed to be
used only when the alsa mixer doesn't contain any elements that would
indicate the existence of a speaker port, but the reverted patch is a
workaround for a different problem. On the two affected EeePC machines
the Headphone element needs to be unmuted when using speakers. The
analog-output-speaker-always path happens to do that, but that's
unintentional. analog-output-speaker was changed[1] to mute the
headphone output when using the speaker port, and
analog-output-speaker-always should have been changed too, but that was
forgotten.
The kernel driver is buggy if it has a Headphone mixer element that
mutes both headphones and speakers, so this should be fixed in alsa. If
we end up having a workaround in PulseAudio for the broken driver, it
should be implemented with a new profile set and path configuration
files.

This adds a port, card and profile to RAOP sinks to make it
possible to change the latency at runtime (and have it persist)
using pavucontrol or pactl set-port-latency-offset.
Also move the IP:port part of the sink name to the port name.
EAGAIN is used allover the code rather than EWOULDBLOCK
POSIX allows EAGAIN and EWOULDBLOCK to have the same value (and in fact it is)

The macro LADSPA_PATH was defined as a list of directories quoted but
without taking into account that the directory names, specially on
Windows, can contain backslashes that need escaping.
This patch removes the quoted from the macro and uses the C preprocessor
to quote it properly using a helper macro.
Pulseaudio tries to pick the best profile (on startup or
hotplugged), the best profile is the profile with the highest
priority which isn't unavailable.
Due to the facts that iec958 ports available status always (?)
is unknown, and that it is generally more likely that a user use
hdmi than iec958, lets prioritze hdmi over iec958.
This patch shift the analog-* mappings +5 and hdmi-* mappings +5.
Use predefined values depending on the server, and make it configurable.
AirPlay is supposed to have 2s of latency. With my hardware, this is
more 2.352 seconds after numerous tests.
Switch from pausing/resuming the smoother to resetting it because the
smoother got stuck returning the same value after an idle/running cycle,
making latency calculation wrong.
This breaks a lot of headsets, so disabling by default. Can be
re-enabled in configuration for specific hardware where it is deemed
necessary.
Also added some debug logging to be able to examine what MTU size is
reported by the device.

Some sound cards don't have any alsa-lib configuration, but they used to
work well enough up to PulseAudio 10. PulseAudio 11 stopped using "hw:0"
for the analog-stereo mapping, and instead defined it as a fallback
mapping without any mixer handling. As a result, switching between
headphones and speakers stopped working without changing the mixer
settings manually at least on Toshiba Chromebook 2. This patch adds the
mixer handling back to the fallback mapping.
I also renamed "unknown-stereo" to "stereo-fallback", because I like
that name more.

This is basically a copy of module-always-sink but doing the same for
sources. Whenever no source is available, a module-null-source is loaded
and whenever a new source is available again, module-null-source is
unloaded.
By this, anything using a source will automatically be switched to the
null source when the actual source disappears, and back to the actual
source if it appears again.
There are actually two HSP HS UUIDs. My theory is that the second one
was added, because someone was not happy with the old UUID being used
for identifying two different things (the HSP profile as a whole, and
the HS role within the HSP profile). Some headsets only use the new
UUID, and those headsets won't work if we don't recognize the new UUID.

to_alsa_dB() returns a result rounded to two decimal places (instead of
using integer truncation) to avoid small errors when converting between
dB and volume.
Consider playback at -22 dB (which is supported by ALSA) but results in
the higher level of -21 dB plus software attenuation.
pa_sw_volume_from_dB(-22) = 28172
pa_sw_volume_to_dB(28172) = -21.9997351

Some modules may only be loaded once, and trying to load them
twice from default.pa makes PulseAudio startup fail. While that could
be considered a user error, it's nicer to not be so strict. It's not
necessarily easy to figure what went wrong, if for example the user
plays with RAOP and adds module-raop-discover to default.pa, which first
works fine, but suddenly stops working when the user at some point
enables RAOP support in paprefs. Enabling RAOP in paprefs makes
module-gconf load the module too, so the module gets loaded twice.
This patch adds a way to differentiate module load errors, and
make cli-command ignore the error when the module is already
loaded.
module-switch-on-port-available didn't do anything when a port changes
its status if the card didn't have any sinks or sources. This was to
avoid bad things during card initialization, but the if condition also
prevented any profile switches away from the "off" profile, because the
card has no sinks or sources when the "off" profile is active.
pa_card nowadays has the "linked" flag that
module-switch-on-port-available could have checked instead, but since it
doesn't make sense to emit port status change events before the card has
been initialized, I added the check in pa_device_port_set_available()
instead.

It was reported that on a certain USB card, identified as
"0d8c:0102 C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM106 Like Sound Device",
the "PCM Capture Source" element had to be set to "IEC958 In" before
the iec958 input would work.
The iec958-stereo-input.conf file didn't exist before, although the path
was referenced in the default.conf profile configuration file.

When connecting a headset via the native backend, the transport state was
not updated correctly.
This patch sets the state to PLAYING in transport_acquire() if necessary.
If the description is not updated when moving, the old automatically
generated description will refer to the old master sink after the move,
which is not nice.
