- Add patches from upstream to fix a security issue by enforcing
that the owner client of the output node can see the input node
and viceversa, otherwise, it could happen that a portal sets
permissions so only the screenshared stream can be seen but
wireplumber might link the camera nonetheless (boo#1213682):
* 0001-impl-link-enforce-permissions-in-links.patch
* 0002-impl-link-only-check-permission-changes-for-owners.patch
* Tue Sep 22 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Add patch from upstream to fix a division by 0 error
(boo#1176515):
* 0021-alsa-protect-against-SIGPFE.patch
* Wed Jul 15 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Require pipewire from libpipewire (instead of Recommending it)
in SLE/Leap, so a zypper update of the system pulls in the
pipewire daemon. Add a note to change it back to a
recommendation when the api version changes which would make
recommendations get reevaluated by zypper (jsc#ECO-2308)
* Wed Jul 15 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Recommend pipewire from libpipewire, so if the library is
installed the daemon gets pulled in since we want a daemon
to connect to.
- Require pipewire-spa-plugins from pipewire instead of
recommending it since the support plugin is actually required
for most uses (like screen sharing in wayland, which we want to
support out-of-the-box).
- Enable the pipewire.socket systemd user service in %post
(using pulseaudio's %post section as an example of how to do it
since systemd-presets-common-SUSE currently lacks support for
user services). Also disable it in %preun and %postun.
* Tue Jul 14 2020 alarrosa@suse.com

- Use update-alternatives for the wrapper scripts.
* Wed Apr 01 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Use the License rpm tag to specify that although most of
pipewire is licensed under MIT, the pulseaudio replacement
library is licensed under LGPL-2.1+.
* Tue Mar 31 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Use gcc9 to build in SLE-15 / Leap 15, since at least gcc8 is
needed now.
* Tue Mar 31 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.2:
+ build fixes
+ Added support for data type negotiation. This makes it
possible for a client to say that it can handle DMABuf
and MemFd and then let the server select a compatible
format.
+ Handle errors when enumerating parameters better.
+ Add support for rate, format, channels and period_bytes
to the alsa config file to restrict what alsa apps can
negotiate.
+ Fix JACK midi output.
+ Optimizations in common audio format conversions using
AVX2. Small optimizations to plugins.
+ Change the vulkan compute example to an MIT licensed
shader.
+ Remove some hardcoded defaults in the audio and video
processing and use the values from the processing
context. This also fixes the vulkan example.
+ Correct the documentation and defaults in the daemon
config file.
+ Fix alsa and v4l2 buffer recycle. A paused client could
cause the server to leak all buffers.
+ Remove some warnings that should be ignored.
+ Fix a crash in the bluez5 plugins.
+ Try to select higher quality formats first when
negotiating a format with an audio device.
+ Fix an infinite loop in udev detection in some cases.
+ Add non-interactive mode to pw-cli. You can now just
do "pw-cli ls Port" to get a listing of all ports.
pw-cli will now also connect to the default server by
default and has options to select a different server.
+ Allow the server to go up to the maximum quantum (8192
samples or ~=180ms) if a client explicitly wants this.
* Mon Mar 23 2020 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 0.3.1+48:
+ Fix 32bit build.
* Wed Mar 18 2020 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Switch to source service, update to explicit head, file with
non-compliant license replaced.
* Tue Mar 17 2020 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Switch license to MIT and actually package it.
- Add doxygen, graphviz and xmltoman BuildRequires and pass docs
and man = true to meson, build documentation. Package docs in a
new docs sub-package.
- Add check section and run meson_test macro, run tests during
build.
- Add fdupes BuildRequires and pass fdupes macro, remove duplicate
files.
* Mon Mar 09 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.1:
+ This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
with previous 0.3.x releases.
+ Don't load the rtkit module by default. It can cause a
sigkill, which is not desirable for mutter, for example.
Only enable this for the jack library for now.
+ Don't use pthread cancel by default because it uses a
signal that might crash some apps. Only use it for
the jack library because jack clients really expect this.
+ Build fixes for -Werror=suggest-attribute=format
+ improve error messages, don't report harmless errors and
warnings. Try to send error messages to the proxy that
started the operation or is the owner of the object.
+ pw-cat: midi improvement, add midi recording and dump
in verbose mode
+ fix properties when loading spa-nodes from the config
+ Fix and update some examples
+ jack: check arguments and don't crash when invalid
+ Fix buffer memory upload.

* Fri Feb 21 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Add patch to build correctly with glibc < 2.27 (like in SLE/Leap):
* fix-memfd_create-call.patch
* Fri Feb 21 2020 alarrosa@suse.com
- Add BuildRequires for pkgconfig(sndfile) and pkgconfig(vulkan)
so the vulkan plugin is built.
- Version the spa-plugins subpackage so different versions of
the plugins can be co-installed in the future.
* Thu Feb 20 2020 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Update to version 0.3.0:
+ The 0.3 release is a major milestone in the developement of
PipeWire. It features a complete redesign of the scheduling
mechanisms that make it possible to run a JACK compatibility
layer with comparable performance to JACK2.
+ The API has been reworked and is declared stable now. All
developement files and runtime paths are versioned so that
future incompatible changes can be done without breaking
exising applications.
+ PipeWire 0.3 also includes a (now mandatory) session manager
that populates and controls the PipeWire graph. This example
session manager is very simple and not configurable. It is
expected that future version will either switch to a more
flexible session manager (like WirePlumber) or improve the
configuration options of the example session manager.
+ PipeWire 0.3 includes both PulseAudio, JACK and ALSA
compatibility libraries that are known to support a wide range
of applications. The ALSA library is pretty complete at this
point. The JACK and mostly the PulseAudio compatibility
libraries need more work. See the Wiki pages for the current
compatibility problems. We do not yet encourage people to
switch away from their existing audio solutions (PulseAudio
or JACK) but we would love to hear from people who try it
anyways. Future versions will mostly focus on improving
compatibility further to make PipeWire a drop-in replacement.
PipeWire comes with some GStreamer plugins to consume and
produce data for PipeWire. The consumer (pipewiresrc) is
working well in most cases. The sink (pipewiresink) is known
to be somewhat problematic for now.
- Add pkgconfig(bluez) and pkgconfig(libpulse) BuildRequires: New
dependencies.
- Bump libpipewire, apiver and spa_ver define following upstreams
changes. Also add a new sover define.
- Package new subpackages: libjack-pw0_3_0,
libpulse-mainloop-glib-pw0_3_0, libpulse-pw0_3_0 and
libpulse-simple-pw0_3_0, as well as handle them in post(un).
- Adjust options passed to meson following upstreams changes.
Version: 0.3.49-150400.3.3.1
* Tue Mar 29 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Reorder BuildRequires and space conditions a bit better in the
spec file.
* Tue Mar 29 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.49:
* Highlights
- Sample rate switching should work again.
- pw-dot can now use the output of pw-dump to render a graph.
- Bluetooth A2DP streaming was improved that would reduce
stuttering on some devices.
- A JACK bug was fixed that would sometimes make it impossible
to add more tracks in Ardour. (#1714)
- Many bugfixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- Fix a potential crash when NULL params were configured.
- Add some simple functional tests to avoid some recent
regressions. Improve the test framework for this as well.
- Improvements to the poll loop to avoid some use-after-free
scenarios.
- Fix samplerate switching again.
- setlocale is not called anymore from the pipewire library.
This should be called by the application. (#2223)
- pw_init() and pw_deinit() can now be nested and called
multiple times.
- pw_stream will now report the resampler delay in the
pw_time.queued field.
* modules
- module-filter-chain now supports arbitrary many properties
and will use property hints to assign them the right type.
- The ROC modules now accept a sink/source_properties
parameter.
- The module-rt can now also be built without RT-Kit support.
- module-echo-cancel can now use a fraction to specify the
delay for more precise control.
* SPA
- The channelmixer will now do upmixing by default and will not
use normalization. It will also use a simple upmixing
algorithm that duplicates channels by default. A more
interesting upmix method is also available (PSD) but needs to
be enabled manually. (#861)
- Add SSE optimized (de)interleave functions for 32 bits
samples with and without byteswap.
- JSON parsing of empty strings will now give an invalid number
instead of 0.
- JSON numbers are now parsed and serialized in a locale
independent way so that , and . are not mixed up.
- The resampler will now report the resample delay and queued
samples as the extra delay.
* tools
- pw-cat will read more dsf files correctly and will not crash
at the end.
- pw-top now has a man page.
- pw-dot can now use the output of pw-dump to render a graph.
* bluetooth
- Improve interactions with oFono.
- Fix recovery with slow connections.
- Improve frame size of AptX-ll.
- A2DP can now use any quantum and will flush packets in
smaller chunks when needed to adapt. This improves stuttering
in some cases.
* pulse-server
- The server configuration can now be placed in
pulse.properties section, which also makes it possible to
have custom overrides.
- Implement FIX_ flags for capture as well.
- Small fixes and improvements in module loading.
* JACK
- Clear the last error before executing a new action or else we
could end up with error from a previous action. This causes
some problems in Ardour where adding a track would fail after
some time. (#1714)
- Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch.
* Thu Mar 03 2022 sor.alexei@meowr.ru
- Update to version 0.3.48:
* Highlights
- Fix IEC958 passthrough again.
- Fix pulse-server crashes when playing a sample.
- Support for more a more advanced upmixing algorithm.
- filter-chain now supports arbitrary many ports.
- Fix multichannel support in WINE (with new WirePlumber).
- Many bugfixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- The work queue is now created in the context so we can fail
early and avoid further error checking in various places.
- Fix a potential use after free with threaded loops.
- The protocol now has a message footer. This is used to pass
around global state such as the last registered object
serial number. This can be used to detect when a client tries
to bind to old (but reused) object ids. This avoids some
races in the session manager but also when binding objects.
- The zero-denormals CPU flag is now not touched anymore unless
explicitly selected by the user. Denormals are avoided in
filter-chain now in software. If the zero-denormals are now
only configured in the data thread. This should fix issues
with luajit.
- Configuration parsing will not actually fail on errors.
- pw-top now correctly clips unicode characters.
- Many places now use a dynamic POD builder to support
arbitrary large property sets.
- pw-stream now support PropInfo parameters so that they can
announce custom properties.
- Serial number are now also set on metadata and
session-manager objects.
* SPA
- audioadapter is now smarter when trying to fixate the format.
It will use the PortConfig format to fill in any wildcards.
This results in the least amount of conversions when the
stream can handle it. It also is part of a fix (also requires
a session manager fix) for WINE multichannel support.
- Fix 5.1 to 2 channels mixing. It was using the volume of the
stereo pair on all channels.
- Fix some weird volume issues when a source is capturing and
channelmixing.
- Add stereo to 7.1 upmixing.
- The channelmix parameters can be changed at runtime now.
- Many improvements to the upmixing algorithms. Rear channels
are now constructed from the ambient sound and can have delay
and phase shift applied to them to improve spacialisation.
The stereo channels can be filtered so that the dialogue is
more concentrated in the centre channel.
* modules
- Module X11 bell received cleanups and improvements.
- The module now has a private method to schedule unload later.
This simplifies cleanup in many modules.
- module-filter-chain now handles arbitrary many ports and
control ports.
- Fix a bug in RAOP where it was reading from the wrong port.
* pulse-server
- Nodes with the DONT_MOVE property should fail with -EINVAL
when they are moved.
- Fix a segfault when playing a sample.
- The _FIX flags in pulse-server also now ignore the configured
sample format, just like pulseaudio does.
- Fix IEC958 passthrough again. It got accidentally broken
since 0.3.45 with a fix for another issue.
- Fix module-null-sink device.description.
* Bluetooth
- Don't try to connect HSP/HFP when no backend is available.
- Drop patches already included upstream:
* 0001-revert-loop-remove-destroy-list.patch
* 0002-pulse-server-free-pending-sample-reply.patch
- Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch.
- Enable pulseaudio-setup use on openSUSE Leap 15.4.
- Some spec clean-up.
* Mon Feb 21 2022 sor.alexei@meowr.ru
- Add 0001-revert-loop-remove-destroy-list.patch: fix MPD crash.
- Add 0002-pulse-server-free-pending-sample-reply.patch: fix
"fast volume change".
* Fri Feb 18 2022 sor.alexei@meowr.ru
- Update to version 0.3.47:
* Fix a bug in pulse-server that caused cached notifications to
play multiple times.
* Remove a check and warnings to catch leaked listeners on the
proxy. This might access invalid memory and cause infinite
loops in older wireplumber.
- Rebase reduce-meson-dependency.patch.
* Thu Feb 17 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.46:
* Highlights:
- Fix a critical bug in pipewire-pulse buffer size handling
that made some apps (MuseScore, ... ) stutter.
- Fix a critical bug where devices would not show when the
kernel was compiled without VERBOSE_PROCSFS.
- JACK clients will now use lock-quantum by default. This
makes sure that all dynamic quantum changes are disabled
while a JACK app is running. The only way to force a
quantum chance is through a JACK app or with the metadata.
- Almost all limits on number of ports, clients and nodes are
removed.
- A Dummy fallback sink is now automatically created when
there are no other sinks. This avoids stalling browsers.
- Sound sharing with Zoom should work better. A new WirePlumber
release might be required.
- Many more fixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- Update docs with new config overrides.
- The rule matching logic was moved to config and code is now
shared with pulse-server and JACK.
- Add new Romanian translation.
- When a quantum is forced with metadata, any node that asked
to lock-quantum is ignored so that the quantum change can
happen.
- Fix a bug where a mixer was removed twice, leading to
potential memory corruption.
- The port limits on nodes and filters are now removed.
Some code was simplified.
- Fix a potential leak because listeners where removed while
they could be emitted.
- Improve context.exec and avoid zombie processes.
* Modules
- The RAOP module now has a default latency of 2 seconds,
like PulseAudio.
- The echo-cancel module now uses the plugin loader to load
the backends. This makes it possible to add custom, out of
tree, echo cancel plugins.
* Tools
- Improve help of pw-link.
- Output to stdout and error to stderr. Use setlinebuf for
stdout to improve piping between apps. (#2110)
* SPA
- Improve removing sources when dispatching. Also improve
performance now that a destroy loop can be removed. (#2114)
- Fix an fd leak in the logger when logging to a file.
- Improve loop enter/leave checks and support recursive loops.
* pulse-server
- Clamp various buffer attributes to the max length. Fixes some
issues with various applications. (#2100)
- Module properties are now remapped correctly from their
pulseaudio variant to the PipeWire ones.
- Fix module index in introspect. Use the right index when
loaded from our internal modules. (#2101)
- Improve argument parsing and node.description. (#2086)
- The sink-index should now be filled in correctly when playing
a sample. (#2129)
- module-always-sink is now implemented and loaded by default.
(#1838)
- Add support for loading some modules only once.
- Module load and unload now does extra sync to make it appear
synchronous, like in PulseAudio. This improves sounds sharing
in Zoom.
* ALSA
- Fix critical bug where alsa devices would not show when the
kernel was compiled without VERBOSE_PROCFS.
- Some corner cases were fixed in the ALSA timing code. When
the capture node is follower, it will now not try to read too
much data and xrun but it will instead produce a cycle of
silence.
- Various fixes and improvements to make ALSA devices resync to
the driver more quickly and accurately.
* JACK
- Add an option to name the default device as system to improve
compatibility with some applications,
- Use lock-quantum by default. This makes sure that all dynamic
quantum changes are disabled while a JACK app is running. The
only way to force a quantum chance is through a JACK app or
with the metadata.
- It is now possible to do IPC calls from the data thread. Note
that this is a very bad idea but required for compatibility
with JACK2.
* GStreamer
- GStreamer sink will now set a default channelmap to make it
possible to remap to the channel layout of the device.
- Update patch for further uses of "new" meson features used by
upstream:
* reduce-meson-dependency.patch
* Tue Feb 15 2022 alois1@gmx-topmail.de
- Run ldconfig for pipewire-libjack-0_3
* The JACK libraries are made available system-wide using
/etc/ld.so.conf.d. Hence, ldconfig should be run to make sure
the dynamic linker picks them up.
* Thu Feb 03 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.3.45:
* Highlights
- Zoom, telegram and other apps should be able to play sound
again.
- Implement a better way to force and lock JACK buffersize.
- Default sink and source names and properties are improved.
- The config loader can now load and merge fragments in conf.d
directories for easier user configuration of config files.
- Many small bug fixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- pw-cli can now also send Commands to nodes. This can be used
to Suspend a device, for example.
- The eventfd was removed from loops and invoke is now used to
stop the loop, this saves an fd.
- New Alpine CI target to test musl builds, various build
fixes.
- Add force-quantum and force-rate properties.
- The config loader can now load and merge fragments in conf.d
directories. (#207)
- resource error methods can be called without a resource and
then just log an error message.
- link-factory can now also work from the config. (#2095)
* modules
- module-simple-protocol has better argument parsing and can
handle channelmap now. (#2068) It's also possible to
configure latency and rate.
- The native protocol now does extra checks for invalid data.
(#2070)
* ALSA
- TI2902 chips as found in various Behringer cards should have
inputs again.
- Better handling of busy devices in udev, retry when the
inotify close event is emited.
* SPA
- plugins now handle alignment properly and only expect the max
alignment required for the CPU. (#2074)
* Bluetooth
- SBC-XQ is now enabled for the JBL Endurance RUN BT headset.
- Support for non-hexadecimal XAPL version strings to improve
compatibility.
- Use HCI commands again to probe the adapter msbc capability.
This improves compatibility with some adapters. (#2030)
- Set the right startup volume.
- Better A2DP source idle handling.
- Fix a timer bug in SCO sink that could cause busy looping.
* pulse-server
- A playback issue when the tlength > maxlength was fixed.
(#2069) This affected Zoom and other applications.
- The STREAM_BUFFER_ATTR command is now implemented.
- Module names are improved. (#2076)
- Many small fixes and improvements.
- Fix a pavucontrol crash with invalid channels. (#1442)
* JACK
- Use the new force-quantum and force-rate properties in the
JACK API to switch quantum and ensure it can't change for
the lifetime of the JACK app. (#2079)
- Rebase patch:
* reduce-meson-dependency.patch
* Tue Feb 01 2022 dfaggioli@suse.com
- pipewire should be a true dependency, not just recommended (e.g.,
so that any setup that use no-recommends, like MicroOS, also work)
* Thu Jan 27 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Add patch to reduce the meson requirement so we can build
pipewire with Leap 15.3. This will be dropped as soon as
Leap 15.4 is released or if it becomes too hard to maintain
(whatever happens before):
* reduce-meson-dependency.patch
* Thu Jan 27 2022 sor.alexei@meowr.ru
- Update to version 0.3.44:
* Highlights:
- It is now possible to run a minimal PipeWire server without a
session manager, enough to run JACK clients.
- The maximum buffer size is now configurable and can be larger
than the previously hardcoded limit of 8192 samples.
When using high sample rates, the larger buffer size can
avoid xruns.
- The default maximum latency was reduced from 170ms to 42ms.
This should improve overall latency for application that ask
for a large latency, such as notifications.
- Better JACK compatibility. Patchbays should now get less
confused about ports appearing and disappearing.
- Fix some bluetooth crashes.
- Fix some races in ALSA device detection.
- Many bug fixes and improvements all over the place.
* PipeWire:
- Bump the meson requirement to 0.59.0.
- pw-top now reports correct times for filter-chain and
loopback.
- max-quantum is now also scaled with the rate. A new
quantum-limit property was added as a hard limit for the
quantum. This makes it possible to configure for larger than
8192 buffer sizes. Note than many JACK applications have a
hardcoded 8192 limit.
- The max-quantum was reduced to 2048, This gives a 42ms
default latency.
- pw-filter can now return a NULL buffer from _get_dsp_buffer()
- Add a PIPEWIRE_RATE and PIPEWIRE_QUANTUM env variable to set
the graph rate and the graph quantum and rate respectively.
- Fix a potential file descriptor leak in the connection.
- A new minimal.conf file was added to demonstrate a static
setup of a daemon that doesn't require a session manager and
is able to run JACK applicaions.
- Nice levels are now only changed on the servers, not the
clients.
- Add an option to suspend nodes when idle.
- Make it possible to avoid quantum and rate changes with
pw-metadata. This is essential in a locked down system.
- Handle mixer port errors better and fail to create the link
instead of silently not working.
- Nodes that are moved to a driver now have all the linked
nodes moved as well. This makes it possible to run some
graphs without a driver, such as paplay -> zita-j2n.
- pw-cli and pw-dump can now also list objects by name, serial
and object.path using glob style pattern matching.
* modules:
- filter-chain can now also configure parameters by index.
- Fix the client name of module-protocol-simple.
- module-rtkit was merged into module-rt. This makes it easier
to ship a default config that works on more systems by
default.
- module-adapter can now configure the adapter node from the
config. Previously, this was a task only performed by the
session manager.
- module-metadata can now also create metadata object from the
config file.
- The ROC module should now work again.
- An X11-bell module was added to handle X11 bell events.
- filter-chain and loopback modules now have better unique
default names for the streams, which makes it possible to
save and restore their volumes independently.
- module-echo-cancel now has properties to control the delay
and buffer size.
* ALSA:
- The monitor names are now correctly parsed.
- The default period size for batch devices is limited now to
avoid large latency.
- The unused min/max-latency properties were removed.
- Internal latency is now also configurable with params at
runtime.
- The udev rule for TI2902 was removed because it causes
problems.
- Fix a race where some devices would sometimes be missing.
- Add some more timeouts to work around a race in udev device
permission changes when switching VTs.
* SPA:
- Fix potential infinite loop in audioconvert.
- The spa-resample tools can now also use optimised
implementations.
- Fix a potential crash in resampler.
- audioconvert can now also handle F64 formats.
- The channelmixer now does normalization by default to avoid
clipping when downmixing is active.
- The channelmixer will now generate LFE channels when the
lfe_cutoff frequency is set, even when upmix is disabled.
- The channelmixer will now always generate FC when the target
has it.
- Adapter now reports latency correctly, even after linking the
monitor ports.
- Reduce memory usage and preallocated memory in some of the
audioconvert nodes.
- Many properties are now exposed in adapter, such as the
resample quality.
- The resampler and channelmixer can now be disabled.
* V4L2:
- pw-v4l2 now also works for ffplay.
- Take product names from udev now that the kernel returns
generic name.
* JACK:
- The jack pkgconfig file now has the
jack_implementation=pipewire variable to be able to
distinguish jack implementations.
- jconvolver now starts correctly again.
- The object.serial is now used for the port_id. This makes it
easier to track old objects in the cache.
- Add a dummy jacknet implementation.
- A bug in the port allocation was fixed that would make it
impossible to allocate ports at some point.
* Bluetooth:
- Bluetooth profiles are now saved properly by the
session manager.
- Improved profile detections, increased timeouts for slow
devices.
- Implement HFP call indicator for improved compatibility.
- Handle the case where bluez does not set the adapter or
address properties on the device instead of crashing.
- Improved support for setting the profile from the
session manager.
* pulse-server:
- Monitor sources now have the device.class=monitor for better
compatibility.
- Behaviour after seeking is improved. The algorithm for
requesting bytes from the client was simplified and improved.
- module-ladspa-sink implements the control argument now.
- A potential memory leak in the message queue was fixed.
- Use the object.serial for the pulseaudio object index. The
index is not supposed to be reused and this would cause
problems with some clients.
- Servers should now again be able to listen in IPv4.
- module-x11-bell was added.
- There is now support for per-application quirks and
properties in the pipewire-pulse.conf file. Per-application
latency and buffering properties can also be configured.
- Fix a regression in telegram sounds not playing.
