There is not a new version released yet, but this update has lots of fixes
and adds features for recent pipewire and hyprland support.
But most important ... without the update it will cause a 30 sec. delay to
the start of various gtk apps in combination with current xdg-desktop-portal
release.

This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous
0.3.x releases.
This release contains a huge number of changes, some of which might cause
regressions. Please report anything that seems to fail after the upgrade.
UCM devices in particular might have changed names, profiles and ports that
might require changes in custom scripts.
- Symbolic links to the pipewire binary are now used instead of recompiling
the same binary multiple times.
- Changes to the graph scheduler related to quantum/rate updates and
calculation of the node states. Things should start and switch between
quantums and rates more smoothly now and especially virtual devices should
now only run when required.
- A new RTP session module was added. This uses the Apple MIDI protocol
to configure low-latency bidirectional MIDI (and with a PipeWire specific
extension, also audio) between machines. OPUS encoding was added to the
RTP formats. The SAP module was separated from the rtp-sink/source module
to make it more usable.
- A new runtime debug property was added to all streams and nodes to trigger
a save of the raw samples to a wav file. Support for this has also been
added to the echo-canceler to debug potential issues.
- Module pulse-tunnel has improved rate matching and synchronization
support. It should also not drift anymore for capture devices.
- The link-factory now ignores by default the link.passive property. This means
that tools like pw-link or jack clients and wireplumber can't make passive
links anymore. The reason is that there is now much more advanced logic in
PipeWire itself to handle passive links based on node and port properties.
- The RAOP sink was ported to new OpenSSL functions. Digest passwords are
handled correctly now and support for more devices was added.
- The ACP code was updated with new PulseAudio UCM code: "Create multiple
profiles per verb for conflicting devices". This might change the names
of devices, profiles and ports so scripts might need to be updated.
- Upmixing is disabled again by default. We now ship config files that
distros can install to enable upmixing again. The reason being that PipeWire
should not apply fancy DSP processing to audio by default.
- Many cleanups and bugfixes, including some crashes and memory corruption
bugs.
- Various FreeBSD compilation fixes.
- Don't crash when calling _connect twice in stream/filter. (#3091)
- Links are now installed instead of compiling the pipewire binary
multiple times.
- There is now a new core event bound_props that augments the bound_id event
with the global properties. This can be used to get the global.serial among
other global properties. It also makes it possible in the future to let the
server allocate unique names or uuids.
- Fix a bug where the server could go into an infinite reconfigure loop when
the samplerate of a driver would change.
- When a samplerate was forced, restore the previous best samplerate when the
samplerate is no longer forced. (#2133)
- Rework how the states of the nodes in the graph are calculated. A more
refined algorithm is now used that only runs nodes that need to run.
- Rework how the quantum change is applied to the graph. Drivers are now
responsible for using the new updated rate/quantum before starting a new
cycle. This avoids starting a cycle with an old quantum first.
- pw-stream and pw-filter will now ensure that the Trigger event is called
from the main thread.
- node.force-rate=0 will now force the node.rate on the graph, forcefully
switching the hardware into the new rate if possible. (#3026)
- Additional checks were added to the thread-loop to check locking order.
- Additional checks were added to pw-stream and pw-filter to check if methods
are called from the right thread context.
- A new RTP session module was added. This uses the Apple MIDI protocol
to configure bidirectional MIDI (or audio) between machines.
- SAP support was removed from module-rtp-source and module-rtp-sink and
moved to a separate module. This makes it possible to use the RTP modules
without SAP support as well.
- The echo-cancel module now has support to save the signals to a wav
file for debugging purposes.
- The RTP modules now have support for the OPUS codec.
- The RAOP module was ported to new openssl encryption functions and handles
digest passwords correctly now.
- module-raop-discover now has match rules to be able to select the streams
and set properties.
- Module pulse-tunnel has improved rate matching and synchronization
support. (#3093)
- Fix potential memory corruption and infinite loops because
module-pulse-tunnel was unloaded from the wrong thread.
- The link-factory now ignores by default the link.passive property. This means
that tools like pw-link or jack clients and wireplumber can't make passive
links anymore. The reason is that there is now much more advanced logic in
PipeWire itself to handle passive links based on node and port properties.
- module-echo-cancel will now clear its buffers after a suspend to avoid
playing stray samples.
- module-raop-sink will now handle 0 timing_port replies. (#3133)
- The adapter module now has support for saving the raw audio to a wav
file for debugging purposes.
- The ACP code was updated with new PulseAudio UCM code: "Create multiple
profiles per verb for conflicting devices". This might change the names
of devices, profiles and ports so scripts might need to be updated.
- Upmixing was disabled again by default. We now ship config files that
distros can install to enable upmixing again. (#3081)
- audioadapter and audioconvert have seen improvements in the experimental
non-DSP/passthrough mode.
- Fix a potential race where the dummy drivers could fail to stop a timer
and cause endless warnings in the logs.
- The ALSA plugin has experimental support for IRQ based scheduling. This
should decrease latency for some (mostly USB) drivers. This should bring
latency within JACK latency. More work on this will be done before the
1.0 release later this year.
- Audioconvert now has support for volume ramping. (#3046)
- A new loop method was added the check if a thread is currently running the
loop.
- channelmix.disable and resample.disable now generate an error when true
and channelmixing or resampling is required in the converter.
- Fix a crash in some cases when a device was disconnected.
- Support async transport state changes. This avoids some lockups when the
bluetooth backend is having issues. (#3023)
- Align BAP sinks. This improves synchronization between earpieces.
- Improve properties in pw-top and pavucontrol.
- Improve error handling from pulse-tunnel.
- Generate silence correctly for unsigned formats as well.
- Review buffer params. The streams should now just work with 1 or 2
buffers.
- module-rtp-send and module-rtp-recv now have support for the OPUS codec.
- Make sure we don't call any callbacks anymore when deactivating. (#2781)
- Sort the device by priority in deviceprovider. (#3072)

WirePlumber 0.4.14
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Additions:
- Added support for managing Bluetooth-MIDI, complimenting the parts that
were merged in PipeWire recently (!453)
- Added a default volume configuration option for streams whose volume
has never been saved before; that allows starting new streams at a lower
volume than 100% by default, if desired (!480)
- Added support for managing link errors and propagating them to the
client(s) involved. This allows better error handling on the application
side in case a format cannot be negotiated - useful in video streams
(see !484, pipewire#2935)
- snd_aloop devices are now described as being "Loopback" devices
(pipewire#2214)
- ALSA nodes in the pro audio profile now get increased graph priority, so
that they are more likely to become the driver in the graph
- Added support for disabling libcamera nodes & devices with ``node.disabled``
and ``device.disabled``, like it works for ALSA and V4L2 (#418)

This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous
0.3.x releases.
- The loopback module and other couples streams will now not randomly
fail in some cases. (#3028)
- The RTP module now has support for sending and receiving MIDI as
well.
- The compress offload sink has seen many improvements. It now uses
ioctls directly to bypass limitations of tinycompress (to be able
to detect the available codecs, for example).
- Pulse server compatibility was improved for some apps by improving
the format parsing and FIX_ stream flag handling.
- The min quantum in the pulse server was changed from 256/48000 to
128/48000 to fix some issues with games that expect 5ms or less of
latency.
- The Bluetooth plugin has seen many improvements in packet scheduling
to attempt to reduce stuttering on some devices.
- The ALSA plugin now handles some impossible cases better. This fixes
recording in QEMU again. (#2971)
- SPDX tags were added to the code for copyright information.
- The random number functions were made more usable.
- The port property code was moved from the adapter to the port
implementation itself to make it more useful and unified for the
cases where no adapter is used (midi and video).
- Fix a potential overflow in mixer areas.
- Improve runnable state calculations of nodes. This is part of
ongoing work to avoid running nodes that should not need to run.
- The stream will now always call the process function when using
trigger, even if there are no buffers. This avoids stalls of the
processing graph in some cases. (#3028)
- Links are now marked as passive by PipeWire itself so that
the right thing happens in all cases.
- Implement the in/out/true values for the node.passive property.
Place a passive state on ports to make passive links on a port
by port basis.
- pw-cat has seen improvements in the encoded file playback case.
- The rtp module has support for MIDI now.
- DSCP is now configurable in the RTP module.
- The loopback module doesn't randomly fail to work anymore. (#3028)
- The null-audio sink can now be given a format and it will return this
instead of the default float ones. This makes it possible to make a
null-sink that has a given format.
- The compress offload sink has seen many improvements. It now no longer
uses tinycompress to be able to detect the available codecs.
- The ALSA plugin now handles some impossible cases better. (#2971)
- Fix compilation on older compilers. (#3050)
- The FIX_ flags are now implemented more correctly by fixating the
stream to the format of the sink/source they ask to be connected to.
There is now also an option to override the fixation based on rules.
- Format parsing was improved and should now support all format strings
supported by pulseaudio including upper and lower case variants
and shortcuts.
- Channelmap parsing was improved and should now reject invalid
channelmaps as well as support the shortcuts supported by pulseaudio.
- Escape codes in module arguments now work as it does in pulseaudio. (#3071)
- The min quantum was changed from 256/48000 to 128/48000 to fix some
issues with games that expect 5ms or less of latency.
- jack.passive-links can now be used to have a JACK client make passive
links and the node.passive property is no longer used for this because
it has a different function.
- The qsynth rule was updated to the new node.passive features. It is now
only passive on the output side.
- BAP delay and transport latency are handled now.
- A2DP and SCO can now use bigger buffers to improve quality when the
reception is jittery.
- The AT+BCC command is now implemented.
- Packet encoding now happens ahead of time when possible to avoid delays
before sending it.
- Source should now always produce complete (padded) buffers to avoid sync
problems.
- Don't set unnecessary socket options.
- The pipewiresrc now has an autoconnect argument.
- The metadata plane count is now handled correctly in more cases.
- Stream errors are now handled correctly to stop the GStreamer elements.

This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous
0.3.x releases.
- Fix a regression in the pulseaudio module-combine-stream because the new
module-combine-stream was not installed.
- PipeWire can now generate a limits.d config file with our recommended
settings for priorities and memlock.
- Avoid rate switches when the graph is idle.
- The rate selection algorithm was improved. This ensures minimal performance
and quality loss when resampling.
- The default min.quantum was set to 32 again after it got erronously changed
to (the too low) 16 in version 0.3.45.
- Fix compilation issues with rust bindings because of macros in defines.
Work around it for now. (#2952)
- Invalid file mappings are now refused (#2617#2914#3007)
- Modules, exec and objects can now be loaded depending on conditions. One
example is the X11-bell module that can now be disabled with a custom
property override.
- Filter now also supports _trigger_process() to drive the graph.
- TID is now added to the journald log.
- PipeWire generates and installs */etc/security/limits.d/25-pw-rlimits.conf*
that by default contains project's recommended settings. Creation of the
pipewire group is left to the distro or user ( `groupadd -r pipewire` ).
See the rlimits-* Meson options for controlling this behavior.
- Additionally there is now by default disabled Meson option that will
install */etc/security/limits.d/20-pw-defaults.conf* with the current Linux
default memlock value. Distros with only kernels >=5.16 or always using
systemd v251 or newer do not need this. But all other builds should set the
`-Dpam-defaults-install=true` Meson option to ensure that the memlock value
is always large enough. Thanks to Rickie Schroeder for pointing out that
the default Linux memlock value has been somewhat recently increased.
- Install module-combine-stream.
- RTP source now has support for custom channel names.
- RTP source will now stop when inactive.
- There is now
- Filter-chain has a new mysofa based spacializer plugin.
- The RTP modules can now use direct clock timestamps to send and receive
packets. This makes it possible to synchronize sender and receiver with
a PTP clock, for example.
- Filter-chain now has an invert plugin to invert the polarity of a
signal. (#3008)
- There is now an option to set the channels used for probing Pro Audio
devices. This could unlock more samplerates for some devices when they are
probed with fewer channels. (#2990)
- Support was added for other clocks than the MONOTONIC clock in the
driver nodes. This can be used to synchronize the graph to a PTP clock,
for example.
- The ALSA source has some more headroom when rate matching to avoid
stuttering when following another driver.
- libcamera controls are now mapped to standard PipeWire property values.
- The channelmixer has seen some improvements. MONO and undefined channel
layouts are now upmixed and downmixed more correctly. (#3010)
- Many BAP support fixes.
- The gstreamer elements now support buffer video metadata so that strides
are correctly handled.
- pipewiresrc will now error out correctly in more cases. (#2935)
- The frame to/from time functions are improved to also work with negative
time and frame offsets.

Media Session 0.4.2 (2023-01-20)
This is a small release to keep the dead corpse walking... Repeated attempts to
shoot it in the head seem to have failed (We don't think it is running with a lot
of brains left). It does not look pretty and we don't know yet when it will finally
stay down. What we do know is that some creatures (humans?) have been secretly
feeding it with their brain cells and as such, here we are...
Anyway, it contains some minor patches for some organ (memory?) leaks. It also adds

again (work?) with the latest PipeWire versions.

- Fix an error in the AVX code that could cause crackling in filter-chain
when using the mixer.
- The convolver in filter-chain can now select an IR from a list of IRs
that best matches the current samplerate. Also resampling of the IR

- A new native module-combine-stream was added. You can use this to create
a 5.1 device from 3 stereo soundcards, for example, or direct the output
to multiple sinks at once.
- Support for Bluetooth MIDI was added. This requires a wireplumber
addition as well.
- An ALSA plugin rule was added to tweak the buffer settings in Davinci
Resolve so that it now runs with acceptable latency. (#1697)
- Support for compress offload was added using tinycompress. This allows
compressed formats to be decoded in hardware using ALSA on some devices.
- Many more buffixes and improvements.
- Add back the deprecated symbols but make sure a deprecated warning is
emitted for them. (#2952)

- pw-cat can now use ffmpeg to demux streams for compress offload.
- The convolver IR volume is now preserved after resampling.
- Adapter ports can now have a custom prefix.
- module-rt now clamps the realtime priority to the user allowed one if
it is within an acceptable range. Before it would fall back to RTKit
immediately.
- The module-echo-cancel can now have per stream channel layouts which
makes it possible to link to specific audio ports on a device. (#2939)

when using the mixer. (#2965)
- The convolver in filter-chain can now select an IR from a list of IRs
that best matches the current sample-rate.

gracefully. (#2953)
- Fix some potential stuttering cause by wrong scaling and overflow
of the output buffers in audioconvert. (#2680)
- Debug output is now also sent to the log instead of stdout. (#2923)
- A debug context was added to debug macros to implement custom debug
handling. This is used to redirect the debug of pods to the debug log
instead of using some custom duplicated code.
- Fix some warnings for potentially undefined shifts in format
conversion.
- Support for compress offload was added using tinycompress. This is mostly
used on some embedded hardware where decoding of audio formats can be
done in hardware.
- Some fixes for LE audio were added.
- Support for Bluetooth MIDI was added. This requires a wireplumber
addition as well.
- Reply OK to empty commands.
- Improve compatibility with some devices that send stray \n such as
the Sennheiser HD 350BT. (#2991)
- Devices with unsupported formats (by the pulseaudio API) are now also
listed in the pulseaudio API (with invalid formats).
- The native module-combine-stream is used for module-combine-sink.
- Make jack.merge-monitor default to true to better match the jack1/2
behaviour. Add an exception for mixxx, which is more usable with
unmerged monitors. (#1760)
- The property handling in the ALSA plugin was improved. alsa.properties
and alsa.rules can now be added to the config file.
- A rule was added to tweak the buffer settings in Davinci Resolve so that
it can run with acceptable latency. (#1697)
- ALSA volume will now also use cubic volumes, like pulseaudio.
- The ALSA ctl plugin now also uses the client-rt.conf file.
- A new alsa.volume-method was added to configure cubic or linear volume.
This can be set per application using the rules.
- pipewiresrc will now advertize DMABUF support if the pipeline suports
this.
- pipewiresrc will now always be a live source unless told otherwise.

Highlights
A regression in screensharing was fixed. It was caused by a race when

Video transform metadata was added so that cameras and screen sharing
can report the video orientation and transformations.
Support for the PulseAudio module-gsettings was added to make paprefs
work.
Support for bluetooth offloading was added. This allows for the bluetooth
reception, decoding and playback to happen completely in hardware.
This also requires some support in WirePlumber.
Many bugfixes and improvements.
PipeWire
More work on stopping nodes in a more controlled way.
Fix a race in starting nodes and drivers. In some cases the driver
node would already be started while the link to the peer node was not
ready yet. This caused regressions in screen sharing. The driver is
now only started after all the followers and links completed.
Fix a case where a slow capture stream would not recycle buffers
anymore and stall. (#2874)
Fix a subtle bug in pw_loop_invoke that could cause callbacks to be
delayed and cause crashes in some cases.
Fix a case where IPC was done from the data-thread and could cause
crashes.
Tools
Silence some expected errors in the pw-top output.
modules
The filter-chain has seen some optimizations in the copy plugin and
the convolver.
The zeroconf plugin will now only unpublish services from the server
that was removed.
Fix a potential crash when stopping pw-loopback.
Some harmless errors were turned into info messages.
Fix some cases where pw_stream methods were called from the data-thread
that could cause segfaults. (#2633)
SPA
There is now a video transform metadata that indicates how a video
frame was transformed (rotated/flipped). libcamera and the GStreamer
elements now have support for this metadata.
The SPA volume plugin is now disabled from the default build.
Handle missing control info in libcamera.
Handle errors from loop better, don't call the callbacks on errors.
Somewhat improve performance in some audioconvert AVX2 code for format
conversion.
Fix PortConfig and EnumPortConfig params in audioconvert and
audioadapter to reflect what is actually going on instead of using
hardcoded values.
Pass ignore-dB property correctly in all cases.
Probing is now done in 48KHz again. (#2857)
Pulse-server
IPv4 addresses are now added first to the list and exposed first with
zeroconf discover.
module-gsettings was added to make paprefs work.
The pulse.idle.timeout option was disabled by default and only enabled
for selected apps (speech-dispatcher) because it caused some problems
for other apps. (#2880)
JACK
Only process valid ports. Could fix some crashes. (#2863)
Bluetooth
Support was added for offloading bluetooth handling. Some hardware can
receive, decode and play the bluetooth audio directly in hardware.

PipeWire 0.3.61 (2022-11-24)
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous
0.3.x releases.
Highlights
Fix a bug in audioadapter that could cause crashes when switching
bluetooth profiles.
Fix sound in QEMU, deadbeef and openal again.
libcamera plugin fixes, dynamic add and remove should now work with
the next wireplumber version.
Fix a regression in pw-midiplay where the first buffer would not
play and some events would be missing.
The network module now doesn't export other network sources
anymore.
pulse-server now detects clients that keep underrunning for a long time
and will pause them to save power.
Many more bugfixes and improvements.
PipeWire
Optimize away some useless graph recalculations.
Increase alternative sample rates from 16 to 32.
FreeBSD and musl build fixes.
Silence some module loading errors when the error can be ignored.
Fix initial buffer requested size for pw-stream when operating in
async mode. This also indirectly fixes the first buffer in
pw-midiplay. (#2843)
Modules
Set the network property on pulse-tunnel streams so that they are
not exported anymore. (#2384)
Filter-chain has optimized mix functions now.
SPA
Handle some errors in libcamera better.
Fix libcamera remove events. Fix the id allocation for devices.
Fix a bug in audioadapter where it would not renegotiate after
a port reconfiguration, leading to crashes, especially when
automatically switching profiles in bluetooth. (#2764)
Do ALSA probing in 44100Hz again. Some devices seem to fail
otherwise for some unknown reason. (#2718)
Force playback start when the ALSA buffer is full. This fixes sound
in QEMU. (#2830)
Support Digital 5.1 AC3 for Asus Xonar SE.
Improve format renegotiation in audioadapter. This makes the ALSA
plugin work again for deadbeef. (#2832)
Fix latency reporting on adapter DSP ports.
pulse-server
Fix a bug where openal based applications would hang. (#2821)
Improve zeroconf publish. Only publish on the address of the first
running server. This avoids duplicate entries for IPv4 and IPv6.
Add support for republish entries when new servers are started.
Add a pulse.idle.timeout option (default to 5 seconds) to pause
streams that have been underrunning for this amount of time. Badly
behaving clients will then not keep the graph and device busy so
that devices can be suspended to save battery. This should give
better default behaviour with speech-dispatcher. (#2839)
JACK
Add an option to configure the filter character.
Fix connect_callbacks. It was only called once for output ports.
(#2841)
Add option to set node.passive on jack clients. Make some quirks
for qsynth to make it suspend and fade out better.

The sniffer PACKAGECONFIG will make gssdp depend on gtk4 as below.
PACKAGECONFIG[sniffer] = "-Dsniffer=true,-Dsniffer=false,gtk4,"
But gtk4 needs the opengl DISTRO_FEATURES enabled, so also check
opengl in gssdp recipe to keep consistent.
Fixes:
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'gtk4' (but /build/layers/meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia/recipes-connectivity/gupnp/gssdp_1.4.0.1.bb DEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)
gtk4 was skipped: missing required distro feature 'opengl' (not in DISTRO_FEATURES)
ERROR: Required build target 'meta-world-pkgdata' has no buildable providers.
Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['meta-world-pkgdata', 'gssdp', 'gtk4']
