PipeWire 0.3.27

This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous 0.3.x releases.

• Highlights
  • Fix bug that caused bluetooth devices to stop working.
  • Fix session-manager crash when switching users caused by the DBus plugin cleanup errors.
  • Improve volume handling of monitor ports.
  • Fix GStreamer v4l2 support.
  • Implement module-remap-sink and module-remap-source in pipewire-pulse.
  • More fixes and improvements.

• PipeWire
  • Move the loopback code into a module. Use this in pw-loopback and pipewire-pulse. Fix some cleanup crashes.
  • A dummy echo-cancel module was added. Later versions will include the webrtc echo-canceler.
  • State files don't have the X permission anymore.
  • Move i18n core into a private header file.
  • Stream can now advertize properties and receive property updates.
  • Fix an issue where the wrong index was used to address a port. It caused Bluetooth devices to stop working.

• SPA plugins
  • Only do LFE filtering on channels we created.
  • Improve name and description of devices.
  • Improve cleanup in DBus connections and sources to avoid crash when destroying.
  • Improved volume handling. Hardware, Software and Monitor volumes are now properly separated and handled.
  • Support for S8 and S8P formats was added.

• Tools
  • pw-cli can now also create Struct from JSON arrays.

• Session-manager
  • The session manager can now also create passive links. This makes is possible to suspend effect chains together with the sinks when not in use.
  • Match rules now check the complete property value instead of only the start.
  • Handle multiple pending param enumerations, take only last result. This fixes some volume update issues.

• GStreamer plugins
  • GStreamer plugins now advertize handling DMABUF explicitly. This is currently the only way to avoid a memcpy for v4l2 devices.

• Device support
  • sync ACP with pulseaudio, merge upstream patch instead of our hack to workaround missing duplex devices.
  • V4l2 devices don't expose their fd anymore. Previously the fd and mmap offsets were passed to the client to access the buffer memory but that could create security issues.

• Bluetooth
  • Don't unregister the profiles on shutdown because this can cause delay, just close the dbus connection.
  • Bluetooth devices now try to use the global samplerate from the graph.

• PulseAudio server
  • Implement remap-sink and remap-source modules using the new loopback module.
