# PipeWire 0.3.36 (2021-09-16)

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

## Highlights

• A quick update with mostly only bugfixes and small improvements.
• Capture and playback is now avoided on unavailable devices. This should fix some issues where an unusable microphone was selected by default.
• MIDI output should not stop randomly now.
• The GStreamer elements are much improved, cheese should work a lot better now.
• Virtual sinks and sources should now always show up immediately.
• JACK processing is now delayed until buffersize and samplerate are emited. This should improve stability of many JACK apps.
• JACK transport sync is now implemented correctly so that preroll in bitwig works.

## PipeWire

• The module dir environment variable can now contain multiple paths.
• Documentation now contains dot graphs of dependencies.
• config min/max/default quantum values are now scaled with the samplerate.
• A potential crash was fixed where destroyed memory was still used by a node. This could cause crashes in cheese.

## pipewire-media-session

• Only allow passthrough for passthrough formats (S/PDIF) for now.
• Improve bluetooth profile autoswitch.
• Don't try to route audio to nodes with unavailable routes.

## ALSA

• Pass the right AES bits to the alsa device when opening an S/PDIF stream.
• Fix a bug in the MIDI bridge port management logic. When a port was added and immediately removed, output would stop.

## GStreamer

• The GStreamer source now handles the flushing state correctly.
• All blocking operations now have a 30 seconds timeout, to avoid infinite locks.

## Plugins

• V4l2 Device formats and controls are now passed on the node, just like with audio devices.
• audioconvert now also exposes the softMute property.

## JACK

• Improve stability when changing buffer size and sample rate dynamically by pausing the processing until the application has handled the callback.
• Improve handling of timebase master. When the master was moved to another driver, it did not attempt to become a new timebase master on the new driver.
• Implement transport sync to make preroll in bitwig work.

## pulse-server

• Fix an issue where virtual sinks/sources would not show up immediately.
