# PipeWire 0.3.45 (2022-02-03)

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

## 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.
• 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.

## modules

• module-simple-protocol has better argument parsing and can handle channelmap now. It's also possible to configure latency and rate.
• The native protocol now does extra checks for invalid data.

## 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.

## 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.
• 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. This affected Zoom and other applications.
• The STREAM_BUFFER_ATTR command is now implemented.
• Module names are improved.
• Many small fixes and improvements.
• Fix a pavucontrol crash with invalid channels.

## 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.
