Recent Activity
- 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.
Activity Earlier In The Year
- 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. - alsa-ucm: do not try to use UCM device name as jack name by default
Jaroslav Kysela: Remove the implicit rule. - alsa-ucm: add support for master volume
Jaroslav Kysela - alsa-mixer: add support for LucidSound LS31, and create usb-gaming-headset profile
Dave Chiluk - alsa-mixer: Add support for SteelSeries Arctis 5 2019 headset
Krzysztof Stasiowski - rtp: Add a GStreamer-based RTP implementation
Arun Raghavan: This adds a GStreamer-based RTP implementation to replace our own. - rtp: Drop support for non-L16 media
Arun Raghavan: There doesn't seem much value in supporting streaming U8/mulaw/alaw on the network, and it's unlikely these get any testing. - rtp: Make init return a value for success/failure
Arun Raghavan: This will be used in the future when writing other RTP implementations that can fail on init.
PulseAudio Release Tags
- 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: - build-sys: Bump soname
Arun Raghavan: We dropped pa_format_info_free2 as an exposed symbol, but this was never exposed via headers, so not counting this as ABI change.
