PulseAudio is an open-source multi-OS network sound server commonly used by modern Linux distributions.
Other Activity This Week
- bluetooth: allow increasing output bitrate
Igor V. Kovalenko: Bluetooth thread may ask encoder to reduce bitrate if writing is not keeping up with inputs or writing to bluetooth socket takes too much time. - gitignore: Add install/ for local prefixed installs
Arun Raghavan: Part-of: < - buildsys: meson: implement update-map-file target
Igor V. Kovalenko: Part-of: < - switch-on-port-available: checking the off profile when switching profile
Hui Wang: If the current active profile is off, it has no sinks and sources, and if users plug a headset to the audio port, the profile including this audio port becomes available and should be selected as active profile. - module-devd-detect: new module for soundcard hotplug on FreeBSD
Greg V: Used in addition to module-detect, since devd only provides hotplug events. - oss: support hot-unplug on FreeBSD
Greg V: Patch by Hans Petter Selasky - oss: support 24-bit sample formats
Greg V: This works perfectly fine and is required for bitperfect mode on some soundcards, according to Romain Tartière - detect: fix/improve FreeBSD support
Greg V: Apply patch from FreeBSD Ports. - util: implement pa_get_binary_name on FreeBSD without procfs requirement
Greg V: procfs is not mounted by default, sysctl offers a bulletproof way of requesting this information. - pulsecore: remove ancient __FreeBSD_version < 600000 code
Greg V: None of this is relevant in the modern age - iochannel: support credentials passing on FreeBSD
Greg V: Part-of: < - daemon: Add "stop" argument to start-pulseaudio-x11 script
Carlos Garnacho: As contradicting as it sounds, seems better than changing the script name. - alsa-mixer: add support for SteelSeries Arctis 9

PulseAudio Release Tags
- build-sys: Bump gettext dependency
Arun Raghavan: Needed for distcheck to work with a checked-in pulseaudio.pot. - build-sys: Bump version info for libpulse
Arun Raghavan: Minor implementation change since last release (we now load X11 properties only for SSH connections). - build-sys: autotools: Add meson build files to EXTRA_DIST
Arun Raghavan: As we currently still generate our tarballs using autotools, let's make sure the meson build system is distributed with the tarball. - build-sys: Bump libpulse soversion
Arun Raghavan: We've added new API and updated an enum. - PROTOCOL: Bump to version 33
Arun Raghavan: Required for the addition of new pa_encoding_t values. - Update NEWS for 8.0
Arun Raghavan: ### PulseAudio 8.0 Changes at a glance: - Automatic routing more likely to change profile - OS X and NetBSD support improvements - Systemd journal logging for clients - New LFE balance programming interface - Module-dbus-protocol improvements - More flexible configuration file handling - pulsecore-8.0.so moved to a private directory - New script for measuring memory consumption - Various bug fixes and small improvements Detailed change log: - Update NEWS for 7.0 release
Arun Raghavan: ### PulseAudio 7.0 Changes at a glance: - LFE channel synthesis with low-pass filtering - New libsoxr based resamplers - Socket activation support for TCP - The "srbchannel" IPC mechanism enabled by default - More flexible jack detection support when using UCM - Exiting due to SIGTERM isn't considered a failure - Better support for Creative SoundBlaster Omni Surround 5.1 Detailed change log: - build-sys: add sb-omni-surround-5.1.conf to Makefile.am
Tanu Kaskinen: This is needed to get the file included in the release tarballs. - Revert "launch: Disable autospawn by default when systemd daemon support is enabled."
David Henningsson: This reverts commit 7276faca72e9696d4891daff139aee52509f43bf. Using the new systemd socket activation for PulseAudio will cause PulseAudio to not have any connection with D-Bus, breaking device reservation protocol, module-jackdbus-detect and module-dbus-protocol. - suspend-on-idle: Fix monitor source handling
Tanu Kaskinen: Fixes a crash that happened due to calling pa_source_check_suspend() when d->source was NULL. ### PulseAudio 5.0 Changes at a glance: - BlueZ 5 support (A2DP only) - Reimplementation of the tunnel modules - Native log target support for systemd-journal - Resampler refactoring - --monitor-stream option for parecord and parec - "latency_msec" argument for module-rtp-recv - "inhibit_auto_suspend" argument for module-rtp-send - "auto" argument for module-tunnel-sink and module-tunnel-source - Removed module-bluetooth-proximity - Jack detection for line out - Laptop internal surround speaker volume support - Improved float->s16 and s16->float sample conversion for ARM NEON - "Available" flag for card profiles - Removed module-dbus-protocol from the default configuration - Lots of other enhancements, bug fixes, and documenation and i18n updates Detailed change log:
Most Popular In The Past Month
- doc: Add some contributor guidelines
Arun Raghavan: Document some things that should be helpful to at least new contributors. - alsa-mixer: add support for SteelSeries Arctis 9
Igor V. Kovalenko: Part-of: < - alsa-mixer: Add support for the Headphone,1 element
Tanu Kaskinen: This is seen at least on HP EliteDesk 800 DM and HP EliteDesk 800 SFF. This is used by the analog-output-headphones-2 path, but all other paths on the same sink need to handle the element too. - alsa-mixer: Support dual Front Headphone Jack
Kai-Heng Feng: There are dual Front Headphone Jacks with different indices or with different names, they can be found on HP EliteDesk 800 SFF and HP EliteDesk 800 DM, respectively. - context: add property to forcefully disable shared memory channels
Igor V. Kovalenko: If application wants last bits of virtual memory, allow it to forcefully disable shared memory communication channels via PA_PROP_CONTEXT_FORCE_DISABLE_SHM=yes - x11: gracefully handle X11 connection error
Igor V. Kovalenko: Perform X11 connection recovery via XSetIOErrorExitHandler mechanism. - database: use existing database matching same architecture prefix
Igor V. Kovalenko: State database binary file format may depend on system architecture, for instance gdbm binary format depends on architecture word size, making x86 and x64 gdbm files incompatible. If this is the case, it is handled by adding system architecture name to database file name using automatically configured CANONICAL_HOST string. - oss: support hot-unplug on FreeBSD
Greg V: Patch by Hans Petter Selasky - buildsys: meson: implement update-map-file target
Igor V. Kovalenko: Part-of: < - switch-on-port-available: checking the off profile when switching profile
Hui Wang: If the current active profile is off, it has no sinks and sources, and if users plug a headset to the audio port, the profile including this audio port becomes available and should be selected as active profile.
