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.

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.
Setting the allow_negative flag of pa_{source,sink}_get_latency_within_thread() to true
leads to improved end to end latency estimation and to correct handling of negative port
latency offsets.

Currently, if a stream is manually moved to a filter sink or source managed by
module-filter-apply, the stream will be silently re-routed to the master sink
or source, because the filter.apply property is not set on that stream. We can
assume, that the users intention however was to have the stream filtered.
Therefore this patch changes the logic, so that the stream will not be moved
to the master but remains on the filter sink or source. To handle the change
of a property correctly, the filter.apply property must be set temporarily.
An additional property filter.apply.set_by_mfa was introduced to mark those
streams, so that filter.apply can be removed again when the stream moves away
from the filter.
When a phone is connected via bluetooth and switches to HFP, the sinks
and sources will have higher priority than the built-in devices.
Therefore they are chosen as default and module-bluetooth-policy will
incorrectly insert loopback modules that loop the phone back to itself.
This patch fixes the problem by lowering the priority of sink and source
if PulseAudio is in the headset role. The priority is also lowered if the
device is an a2dp source. In both cases it does not make sense to make the
source or sink default unless there is no other sound device available.
Currently pulseaudio crashes with an assertion in pa_rtpoll_item_new_asyncmsgq_read()
or pa_rtpoll_item_new_asyncmsgq_write() if a loopback is applied to a tunnel-new
sink or source, because tunnel-{sink,source}-new do not set thread_info.rtpoll.
The same applies to module-combine-sink and module-rtp-recv.
This patch is not a complete fix for the problem but provides a temporary band-aid
by initializing thread_info.rtpoll properly. The rtpoll created is never run, but
loopback and combine-sink nevertheless work, see comments in the code.
This patch does not work for module-rtp-recv, but using rtp-recv with a remote
sink does not seem to make a lot of sense anyway.

This allows us to restore the default device properly when a
hotpluggable device (e.g. a USB sound card) is set as the default, but
unplugged temporarily. Previously we would forget that the unplugged
device was ever set as the default, because we had to set
configured_default_sink to NULL to avoid having a stale pa_sink pointer,
and also because module-default-device-restore couldn't resolve the name
of a currently-unplugged device to a pa_sink pointer.

This reverts commit 69c212f8c1.
Reasons:
The original reason for the patch was to work around some issue
regarding the profile not connecting immediately (sorry, I don't really
know the details), but that issue was fixed later by commit 998dfdf4cc,
so the original reason doesn't apply any more.
Automatically changing the profile when the transport state changes to
PLAYING has traditionally been handled by module-bluetooth-policy, and
as far as I can tell, there's no reason to change that.
The assertion is unsafe. It's not guaranteed that the profile change
will always succeed (at least pa_thread_mq_init() can fail due to
reaching the maximum file descriptor limit).
There are two reasons for this change:
1. If it is a Dell desktop machine with the realtek codec, and there
is no internal microphone on it, there is one physical audio jack
which can support headphone, headset and microphone, but this audio
jack does not have hardware capability to distinguish what is plugged
in, after users plug in a headphone and select headphone from UI
program, the headphone can't output any sound. There are many reasons
for this issue, one of them is the active_port of pa_source is set
to headphone-mic, that means the kernel audio driver will configure
this audio jack to be a microphone jack instead of headphone jack.
If we make the priority of headset-mic a bit higher than headphone-mic,
the headset-mic will be the active_port of pa_source unless users
select the headphone-mic on purpose, then this issue will be fixed.
2. Nowadays, the headset is more popular than traditional microphone,
It is highly possible that users plug in a headset instead of
microphone, it makes sense to make the headset-mic's priority higher
than headphone-mic's.

module-stream-restore primarily uses the role of a stream for restoring. The sink-inputs
and source-outputs of filters all have role "filter", therefore currently all filters are
treated equally and are restored to the same device and volume.
This patch lets module-stream-restore ignore the streams that connect the filter to the
master.

In sink_put() and source_put(), pa_core_update_default_{sink,source}() was called
before the PA_CORE_HOOK_{SINK,SOURCE}_PUT hook. Therefore module-switch-on-connect
could not correctly determine the old default sink/source if no user default was
set and a sink/source with higher priority than any other sink/source turned up.
This patch corrects the problem by swapping the order of the hook call and the
pa_core_update_default_sink() call.
Additionally it corrects a problem in module-switch-on-connect. If, after the
change above, the new sink/source was the first sink/source to appear, pulseaudio
would crash because module-switch-on-connect assumed that the default sink/source
was not NULL. The patch checks if the default sink/source is NULL and only sets
the new default sink/source in that case.
When a filter is loaded and module-switch-on-connect is present, switch-on-connect
will make the filter the default sink or source and move streams from the old
default to the filter. This is done from the sink/source put hook, therefore streams
are moved to the filter before the module init function of the filter calls
sink_input_put() or source_output_put(). The move succeeds because the asyncmsq
already points to the queue of the master sink or source. When the master sink or
source is attached to the sink input or source output, the attach callback will call
pa_{sink,source}_attach_within_thread(). These functions assume that all streams
are detached. Because streams were already moved to the filter by switch-on-connect,
this assumption leads to an assertion in pa_{sink_input,source_output}_attach().
This patch fixes the problem by reverting the order of the pa_{sink,source}_put()
calls and the pa_{sink_input,source_output}_put calls and creating the sink input
or source output corked. The initial rewind that is done for the master sink is
moved to the sink message handler. The order of the unlink calls is swapped as well
to prevent that the filter appears to be moving during module unload.
The patch also seems to improve user experience, the move of a stream to the filter
sink is now done without any audible interruption on my system.
The patch is only tested for module-echo-cancel.

When the ofono backend released a tranport during suspend of sink or source, the
transport state was not changed to IDLE. Therefore pa_bluetooth_transport_set_state()
would return immediately when trying to resume. Even though the transport was acquired
correctly, setup_stream() would never be called and the resume failed.
This patch sets the transport state to IDLE when the transport is released. On resume,
the first call to transport_acquire() will be done from the message handler of the
*_SET_STATE message when source or sink are set to RUNNING. This call will only request
the setup of the connection, so setup_stream() cannot be called.
When the transport changes the state to PLAYING in hf_audio_agent_new_connection(),
handle_transport_state_change() is called. Because the sink or source state is already
RUNNING, the pa_{source,sink}_suspend() call will not lead to a state change message
and the I/O thread must be signaled explicitely to setup the stream.
The first setup of the device would also fail, which was only visible when the profile
was restored after connecting the headset. When trying to restore the headset_head_unit
profile, the profile was shortly set to off, so the headset always returned to a2dp.
This patch allows a delayed setup for the headset_head_unit profile, so that the profile
can successfully be restored.
When suspending due to idle timeout the transport will not change its
state, also in case the fd is closed due to POLLERR/POLLHUP events
the release shall check if the fd is still set otherwise it will fail
to be acquired again.
This means something went wrong, which in case of ofono backend it is
probably due to the profile not connecting immediately, but it can be
safely restored in that case the transport is playing which means the
profile has recovered connectivity.
The compiler warned about number_of_frames being possibly used
uninitialized, and on closer inspection I found that it was indeed not
initialized if saved_frame_time_valid is false.
In commit fe70b9e11a "source/sink: Allow pa_{source,
sink}_get_latency_within_thread() to return negative values" the
number_of_frames variable was added as an unsigned version of the l
variable, and number_of_frames partially replaced the l variable. The
replacement should have gone all the way, however. This patch removes
the remaining uses of the l variable and substitutes number_of_frames
on its place, and as a result, number_of_frames is now always
initialized.
Currently the default sink policy is simple: either the user has
configured it explicitly, in which case we always use that as the
default, or we pick the sink with the highest priority. The sink
priorities are currently static, so there's no need to worry about
updating the default sink when sink priorities change.
I intend to make things a bit more complex: if the active port of a sink
is unavailable, the sink should not be the default sink, and I also want
to make sink priorities dependent on the active port, so changing the
port should cause re-evaluation of which sink to choose as the default.
Currently the default sink choice is done only when someone calls
pa_namereg_get_default_sink(), and change notifications are only sent
when a sink is created or destroyed. That makes it hard to add new rules
to the default sink selection policy.
This patch moves the default sink selection to
pa_core_update_default_sink(), which is called whenever something
happens that can affect the default sink choice. That function needs to
know the previous choice in order to send change notifications as
appropriate, but previously pa_core.default_sink was only set when the
user had configured it explicitly. Now pa_core.default_sink is always
set (unless there are no sinks at all), so pa_core_update_default_sink()
can use that to get the previous choice. The user configuration is saved
in a new variable, pa_core.configured_default_sink.
pa_namereg_get_default_sink() is now unnecessary, because
pa_core.default_sink can be used directly to get the
currently-considered-best sink. pa_namereg_set_default_sink() is
replaced by pa_core_set_configured_default_sink().
I haven't confirmed it, but I expect that this patch will fix problems
in the D-Bus protocol related to default sink handling. The D-Bus
protocol used to get confused when the current default sink gets
removed. It would incorrectly think that if there's no explicitly
configured default sink, then there's no default sink at all. Even
worse, when the D-Bus thinks that there's no default sink, it concludes
that there are no sinks at all, which made it impossible to configure
the default sink via the D-Bus interface. Now that pa_core.default_sink
is always set, except when there really aren't any sinks, the D-Bus
protocol should behave correctly.

Previously, if front:x didn't work, we would try to use hw:x for analog
stereo output. There's no guarantee that hw:x is an analog output,
however. For example, the Intel HDMI LPE driver uses hw:x for HDMI
output, and PulseAudio incorrectly created analog profiles for that
card, because front:x doesn't work but hw:x does.
This patch changes things so that the analog stereo mapping doesn't any
more use hw:x as a fallback. A separate "unknown stereo" fallback
mapping is added to handle the rare case where hw:x is the only PCM
device that works.

Several virtual sources and sinks apart from module-echo-cancel also query the master
sink or source to estimate the current latency. Those modules might potentially show
the bug that is described for module-echo-cancel in bug 100277.
This patch checks in the message handlers for the PA_{SINK,SOURCE}_MESSAGE_GET_LATENCY
if the master sink or source is valid and returns 0 as latency if not. This is however
not yet sufficient to solve the issue. Additional patches will follow.
When module-echo-cancel is loaded and there is only one sound card, then during a
profile switch, all sinks and sources can become temporarily unavailable. If
module-always sink is loaded, it will load a null-sink in that situation. If
also module-switch-on-connect is loaded, it will try to move the sink-inputs to
the new null-sink. If a sink-input was connected to the echo-cancel sink,
pa_sink_input_start_move() will send a PA_SINK_GET_LATENCY message to the
echo-cancel sink. The message handler will then in turn call
pa_sink_get_latency_within_thread() for the invalid master sink of module-echo-cancel.
This lead to a segfault.
This patch checks in the message handler if the master sink (or source) is valid and
returns 0 if not.
If a HFP audio gateway was connected via the ofono backend, pulse would
segfault during shutdown of the daemon. pa_bluetooth_discovery_unref()
removed the devices and transports before the ofono backend was freed.
Because the ofono backend keeps its own list of transports, transport_free()
was then called during termination of the ofono backend with an invalid
transport. Bug reported by Andrew Hlynskyi.
This patch moves the termination of the ofono and native backends before
freeing the devices.
The reported latency of source or sink is based on measured initial conditions.
If the conditions contain an error, the estimated latency values may become negative.
This does not indicate that the latency is indeed negative but can be considered
merely an offset error. The current get_latency_in_thread() calls and the
implementations of the PA_{SINK,SOURCE}_MESSAGE_GET_LATENCY messages truncate negative
latencies because they do not make sense from a physical point of view. In fact,
the values are truncated twice, once in the message handler and a second time in
the pa_{source,sink}_get_latency_within_thread() call itself.
This leads to two problems for the latency controller within module-loopback:
- Truncating leads to discontinuities in the latency reports which then trigger
unwanted end to end latency corrections.
- If a large negative port latency offsets is set, the reported latency is always 0,
making it impossible to control the end to end latency at all.
This patch is a pre-condition for solving these problems.
It adds a new flag to pa_{sink,source}_get_latency_within_thread() to allow
negative return values. Truncating is also removed in all implementations of the
PA_{SINK,SOURCE}_MESSAGE_GET_LATENCY message handlers. The allow_negative flag
is set to false for all calls of pa_{sink,source}_get_latency_within_thread()
except when used within PA_{SINK,SOURCE}_MESSAGE_GET_LATENCY. This means that the
original behavior is not altered in most cases. Only if a positive latency offset
is set and the message returns a negative value, the reported latency is smaller
because the values are not truncated twice.
Additionally let PA_SOURCE_MESSAGE_GET_LATENCY return -pa_sink_get_latency_within_thread()
for monitor sources because the source gets the data before it is played.
The old code worked incorrectly in several situations. For example,
trying to use the "master" argument wouldn't work, because if
"sink_master" wasn't specified, pa_namereg_get() would pick the default
sink as the master sink.
