Comment (by bdubbs): 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. - Added a new pw-dump tool to dump the objects in JSON formats and for filtering them with tools like jq. - Many more stability fixes and improvements. - 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. - The udev rules had references to Pulseaudio removed in order 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 -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/14392#comment:2> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
