Activity Earlier In The Year

alsa-mixer: add support for Astro A50 gaming headset
Tomasz Kontusz

alsa: adjust ucm sink/source priority according to ports priority
Hui Wang: On the machines with the ucm used, the different input/output devices often have different pcm stream, so they often belong to different sources and sinks, this is greatly different from the design of all devices connected to a codec (without ucm). For example, on a machine with ucm2 used: the internal dmic is on source#0 the external mic is on the source#1 the internal spk is on sink#0 the external headphone is on sink#1 Users expect that after plugging the external device, it will become the active device automatically.

device-port: queue CARD CHANGE event before update default sink
Libin Yang: In single profile mode (headphone and speaker use different PCMs), when headphone is plugged in, pa_device_port_set_available() will call pa_core_update_default_sink/source() before posting PA_SUBSCRIPTION_EVENT_CARD|PA_SUBSCRIPTION_EVENT_CHANGE to the gnome.

alsa: legacy card - implement device port type parser and assignment
Jaroslav Kysela

device-port: add type member
Jaroslav Kysela: The clients might wanna to know for which purpose is the port.

device-port: introduce available_group member
Jaroslav Kysela: In some cases, the I/O connector functionality can be shared and we cannot determine the proper purpose automatically.

stream-restore: Forget pre-14.0 stream routing
Tanu Kaskinen: Prior to commits f899d5f4669dcd536cc142cee99fe359dd8af3d6 and f62a49b8cf109c011a9818d2358beb6834e6ec25, GNOME's sound settings overwrote the routing for all entries in the stream-restore database when selecting a device.

raop: Send initial timing packet to prime UDP connection tracking
StefanBruens: In case the local UDP port is blocked by a firewall by default, send an initial timing packet so the connection tracking will accept the response packages.

shell-completions/bash: Add pactl set-default-sink and set-default-source
Jarno Suni: pactl has these commands, too.

raop: Add autoreconnect feature
ckdo: This patch adds the autoreconnect feature to the raop module.

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:

ckdo: This patch adds the autoreconnect feature to the raop module.

rtp: Add a GStreamer-based RTP implementation
Arun Raghavan: This adds a GStreamer-based RTP implementation to replace our own.

alsa-ucm: add support for master volume
Jaroslav Kysela

alsa-ucm: do not try to use UCM device name as jack name by default
Jaroslav Kysela: Remove the implicit rule.
